A week ago, on 3/20/2006, Bush spoke to the City Club of Cleveland about the "War on Terror." An audience member asked him a penetrating question about how we could trust the information Bush was getting about Iran:

Q Mr. President, at the beginning of your talk today you mentioned that you understand why Americans have had their confidence shaken by the events in Iraq. And I'd like to ask you about events that occurred three years ago that might also explain why confidence has been shaken. Before we went to war in Iraq we said there were three main reasons for going to war in Iraq: weapons of mass destruction, the claim that Iraq was sponsoring terrorists who had attacked us on 9/11, and that Iraq had purchased nuclear materials from Niger.
