A Letter from Ambassador Joe Wilson:

Dear Friend,

In February 2002, George W. Bush's Administration sent me to Africa to investigate claims that Saddam Hussein was seeking to buy materials for weapons of mass destruction. In early March, I provided a detailed briefing to the C.I.A; I concluded that Iraq had most likely not tried to buy uranium in Niger. We know the rest of the story.

The Bush White House tried to intimidate me and to discourage others from exposing the lies they told to justify the war. Some senior people in the Bush administration betrayed our country by exposing my wife's cover at the CIA because they deemed their political agenda to be more important than our national security. Not so. George Bush's Administration has betrayed our trust – I know that personally. And I hope you'll join me in supporting John Kerry's campaign to wrest our democracy back from those who have so squandered the public trust. This is our cause - and it's about our future.

I wasn't ready to keep quiet when this President misled the nation in his State of the Union Address. Some people have said I was courageous to speak truth to the power of the Bush White House.

But let me tell you, what I have done doesn't hold a candle to the courage that John Kerry showed as a young man and throughout his political career. I am supporting him for President because he has shown the courage to do what's right. And I hope that everyone else who is outraged by this Administration and who wants to change America will join me in doing all you can to make John Kerry our next President.

I'm supporting John Kerry for President, and I hope you'll join me in that support. For us to take back the White House, we need to raise funds.

PLEASE DONATE NOW AND PUT JOHN KERRY IN THE WHITE HOUSE NEXT NOVEMBER.

John volunteered to serve in Vietnam, where he earned a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts. And when he came home as a decorated hero, he didn't have to fight the war. But John helped lead the fight to end the war; he earned the wrath of Richard Nixon and his cronies, and he won the respect of Americans for his courage. Throughout his career in public service he has shown the courage to stand up to special interests and to hold government accountable.

It's almost Election Day. One year from now, we can elect a new President. Only John Kerry has the courage and credibility to be that President, and we need your support to get there.

I hope you will join us- it's never been more important.

Warm Regards,

Joe Wilson

You describe option #2, imo. (These two scenarios will seesaw for a couple more months until the filing deadlines for '04 pass.)

Will the dems stay stupid enough for four more years to give her a shot in '08, or will they get tired of losing and just finally freeze out the Clintons after (another) big loss in '04?

We're dancing around the # of angel on the head of pin, lol, but I think we both agree Hillary is unqualified and unsuitable to get within 40 miles of the Oval Office again. :-)

I read that article earlier and it would make my day if Joseph Wilson's name showed up on that list of Traitors. Joe Galloway of the British Parliment was on one of the Iraqi Documents showing he took money from Saddam and he has been expelled from the British Parliment.

Look for Scott Ritter, Amb. Joe Wilson, Ramsey Clark and the anti-war organization ANSWER to be among those exposed to have financial ties to Saddam

[pinz-n-needlez]

Excuse me. :-/

[MJY1288]

True on both posts :-)

Someone should tell Joe his fifteen minutes was last month...

Thank you very much for the ping, Miss Marple. Regarding OldFriend's post #8 on this thread, I believe it came out recently that Wilson signed onto the Kerry campaign months ago — in fact, sometime in the Spring, probably not coincidentally around the same time he, Pincus and others began turning up the heat on this story. At this point, only the most unreasonable or uninformed people will fail to recognize Wilson's story for the purely partisan-motivated hit piece it is.

What troubles me most these days is not Wilson and his story. His over-the-top performance on this story has killed his credibility with everyone except Leftist audiences. I'm not even concerned about the "leak" investigation. What concerns me is the fact that these sorts of antics are giving aid and comfort to our enemies. I genuinely believe the constant naysaying, negativity and undermining of President Bush is causing the terrorists and Baathist hangers-on in Iraq to continue their attacks in the hope they can outlast the Bush presidency.

I nearly had a heart attack when I heard Carvile stating that our troops will be pulled out of Iraq in April.

This is the most disgraceful behaviour.

Wilson is a serial liar, and the press has yet to call him on it.

And they never will. Instead, while brave mean and women work in harms' way in Iraq, the press will bleat about the "mortal danger" to Valerie Plame, apparently as a result of being married to this maroon.

I hope as an ambassador he displayed a writing style a little more advanced than that which is displayed here.

He had to keep it at a basic reading level - he's writing to Dimocrats.

What!? Since when did Carville get to make U.S. policy? What the 'eff' is he talking about? Do you know?

[OldFriend]

I was channel surfing during the weekend......there was Carvile, Tina Brown, Sally Quinn, and some other person I didn't recognize.

The topic was Iraq, of course. Carvile said that the troops will be pulled from Iraq in April. Sally Quinn agreed.........

I just could NOT listen to them so I changed the channel. It was on CNBC......

[Wolfstar]

Grin. There is no way I could listen to that bunch for more than a nanosecond. You have a stronger stomach and a higher patience quotient than I do, LOL! Anyway, I'll take President Bush's word for when the troops come out, not that Leftist bunch.

[OldFriend]

You cannot imagine my reaction when Carvile made that statement. Talk about jeopardizing our troops.......the Iraqi's are very vocal about their fear that we will pull out or that President Bush will not be re-elected.

[Howlin]

Look here. Check the date.

Interesting, what a liar.
