Lott/Wicker support Blair, uranium claims
By: JEFF CLARK, Daily Times Leader

"I am a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee and we're investigating how good our intelligence is and what that information was before Iraq and what other countries were doing in terms of intelligence information that they were providing us," said Sen. Trent Lott in a teleconference with members of the Mississippi Associated Press. "I'm not approaching it from the standpoint of accusatory politics. I don't think that it does a lot of good to point fingers. The main concerns are 'Were there flaws in our intelligence?' and 'How can we improve that?'. Congress cut funding for the CIA back in 1979 and we are suffering for that."

In regards to the uranium claims, Lott said, "President Bush said in his State of the Union Address that, 'British intelligence tells us that Iraq was trying to get uranium from Africa.' That is a fact. That was true. I just came from an extensive intelligence meeting in which we were told that the British still stand by that. They don't want to reveal their sources. We do know that Saddam Hussein has tried to get nuclear weapons and that he had biological and chemical weapons. We have found some of these weapons, but not all of them. We have a job to do by asking the CIA "How come we haven't found all of the weapons of mass destruction?'."

It's just amazin' ain't it?....Set a course Mr.Sulu...for anywhere...
