ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 July 16, 2003 http://www.msnbc.com/news/939361.asp?0cl=c1 Bush: Saddam Bought Geraniums, Not Uranium Newsweek Web Exclusive In an extraordinary retraction of key elements in his last State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush revealed today that Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein did not attempt to buy uranium in Africa, as earlier alleged, but merely geraniums. "As I was reading the speech to the nation, I should have caught that typo," the President told reporters today. "My bad." WHILE THE NEWS ABOUT the uranium/geranium goof stunned diplomatic circles, Bush remained resolute about his decision to go to war, arguing that buying geraniums, while not as potentially dangerous as buying uranium, still represented a "suspicious" activity on the part of the Iraqi madman. "The question we have to ask is, who was he buying these geraniums for?" Bush said. "Was he buying them for Osama bin Laden or Kim Jung-Il or some other evildoer? Luckily, we'll never find out."

billvon 3,109 #7 July 16, 2003 Perhaps he meant germanium. It can be used to manufacture integrated circuits, and all terrorists are chock full of integrated circuits. Or perhaps pomeranians. I got bit by one of those once, so they've got to be bad. Or even Iranians - if Hussein was trying to buy Iranians in Africa, that's got to be even worse.
