Administration Tries to Stem Tide

Finally noticing that the cows are out of the barn, Ari Fleischer tried today to defuse the “media frenzy” over the African uranium:
“This revisionist notion that somehow this is now the core of why we went to war, a central issue of why we went to war, a fundamental underpinning of the president’s decisions, is a bunch of bull,” Fleischer said. He also noted that the claim in the State of the Union address “may still be fact.”
All of this comes much too late and is still nowhere near aggressive enough; the Democrats, now firmly occupying the high ground, say “Iraq story falls short”.
