No one took their claims seriously. If they had tried to pull a quick one and plant the evidence, it would have blown up in their faces even worse than it did. It would have created an even greater chasm between the United States and the rest of the world, likely killing what coalition the Bushies could pull together using borrowed money from China. I'm sure it was in Georgie's simple mind, but I'm sure President Cheney hit Judy over the head with a bat and put the puppet straight on how it would play out. The Russians were already suspect of the American's actions and Cheney probably didn't want to take the chance of pushing the Franco-Greman-Russian leaning countries even further away from the center. But hey, that's just analyzing it geo-politically. I'm sure even "military intelligence" could figure that one out.
