Do the math
34 lies that led to war (of which yellowcake is only one)
+
1 billion dollars a week cost of the occupation of Iraq
+
0 weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq
+
200 American soldiers killed in Iraq
=
1 new president in 2004


I'm not sure about the actual number of lies, nor the number of American's killed.

4. The "Niger" fakes
Those papers declared, that Iraq had purchased/tried to purchase Uranium Oxide ("Yellow Cake") from Niger.
They were fakes however and bad ones at that (IAEA discovered that in less than a day).

3. Imagine the debates in 04
And the Dem. Candiate for President (pick your own favorite) says to the monkey:
Mr. President in in the 2000 debates you spoke of fuzzy math. Then he ticks off the monkey's economic record along with Iraq numbers you mentioned. Then says Mr. President maybe we can all use some lessons in fuzzy math now.
