Jay Inslee: “We appreciate the reminder. That statement was false, and it was false at the time it was made. The reason I know that…”

“We appreciate the reminder. That statement was false, and it was false at the time it was made. The reason I know that is that subsequent information has revealed that our own agencies have reported that they concluded that those aluminum tubes were probably going to be used for some standard rockets, not anything to do with centrifuge tubes; and yet the President of the United States told the American people there is no doubt that Iraq had some of the most lethal weapons devised by man. Now, the fact of the matter is, if this is some innocent thing that occurred, we need the President to address the American people about how this happened. Now, I am glad that the President has finally allowed Condoleezza Rice to publicly answer some of the questions around what has happened in some of this affair. It is unfortunate that it has taken so long to be drug to the public spotlight; but, nonetheless, we hope this will shed some light on this.”
