Actually the thread should be keep so we can debunk the poster.
How does one debunk manure?
For context, I point out that Mrs. Joseph P. Wilson IV's testimony before a fawning House panel showed one of two things:
1) We've gotten to the point where a not-very-smart secretary can claim to be a hot-shot agent and the DCI (Michael Hayden) will back up her story, just to help the Democrats.
or
2) Even more alarming: Someone as unsophisticated, slow of wit, and artlessly treasonous as Mrs. Wilson really was a covert operative for the CIA.
If the CIA was really running Saddam's foreign minister, what side was the CIA on at the time? America's or Saddam's? I'm not inclined to rely on any statements attributed to him.

Obama’s middle name is Hussein...
And I say you should be impeached and thrown out of here for misleading with regards your own words:
“I can’t find a single thing wrong with any word he said.
I only came back to say goodbye.”
So why did you comeback?

Impeach Bush and Cheney? I’ll be on the first flight to Washington to protest and you can take those words to the bank.
Wake up, Alice.......You’re in Wonderland!!!
