Nope. You only desperately wish that that's all it's about, because then you'd have only one false statement to explain away.

In fact, it's really about

hundreds of other facts and statements justifying our actions


...statements about the imminent danger posed to the United States by Iraq's alleged possession of huge stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Statements which were always hyped with words to the effect that "these are not allegations, these are facts we know to be true".

Bush's false statement about uranium was only one of many. Now that Tenet's taken the bullet for his boss, who's going to be the next fall guy? I'm not sure that the Bush Regime has enough high officials to sacrifice to cover all the false statements it made to sell its war against Iraq.
