Hey Shermy...check this out.
Is that old Joe's wife, the super-secret agent, Valeri Plame, in the photo? Nice disguise.
I am ever more convinced that there was no leak. A wish to cash in seems more likely.
This is the THRID Joe Wilson/Niger article today.
Wonder what's up.
Mr. Wilson may need the money for lawyers, after this investigation is done. It is common knowledge, that if anything bad against the Bush adm. had turned up by now, it would be all over the NYT's and their partners in crime. Mr. Wilson has lied from the very start of this faux accusation.
Bush's failure to purge all lying scumbag Clintonistas and automatically exclude them from government use is the cause of this problem and others. All those cruds who lied for Willie and did dishonest things for him can only help to redeem themselves by making any Republcan looks as bad as Willie. We already know them to be liars. They've lied in the past and will lie in the future.
/sarcasm
It's interesting that all the claims by the Bush admin about Hussein are proving true. Even the one they didn't claim concerning Iraq and 9/11 is generating a lot of smoke. You have the recent finds of those supposedly nonexistent wmds in Iraq, claims by Putin that his intel had Hussein ordering terrorist attacks inside the U.S. , Al-Qaeda activity in Iraq, and now the intel confirming Hussein's plans to get nuclear material from Niger. So one would think that these major news items would get headlined in all the Big Media outlets. Well as we all know Big Liberal Media is sitting on all these revelations exonerating Bush and the war because they can't believe Bush is right, and they're wrong. Michael Moore might as well be in charge at the big networks. I'll give ABCess News a pass because they panned his lying flick. A rare acknowledgment of the truth by a liberal media outlet.
Bump for later read.
Nice article. "Sexed up" was the phrase the BBC used in that attack on Tony Blair and Iraq that backfired on them.
Because the media wasn't listening.
The Brits, even before the Jow Wilson op-ed, denied their intelligence was based on the forgeries. From my thread...

The facts behind the claims
[Note: The first British government clarification in the press - British intelligence not based on the fraudulent Niger documents:]
....Iraq "sought the supply of significant quantities of uranium from Africa".
The quest for uranium appeared to support the claim that Saddam "is almost certainly seeking an indigenous ability to enrich uranium". However, the IAEA said the documents it was given to prove Iraq had bought uranium from Niger were "not authentic".
UK officials claim that the documents did not come from Britain and the assessment is based on "much more reliable sources". ...

Evidence about Iraqi uranium 'not fake'
Allegations by UK intelligence officials that Iraq had tried to buy uranium supplies from Niger were not based on fake documents, it emerged yesterday. The claim that Iraq "sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa" was based on two wholly different sources of information.
...But the documents which turned out to be fake and which were given to the IAEA by US officials were not the evidence the UK government was using when it made its case against Iraq. While Saddam Hussein's efforts to develop nuclear arms were never regarded with the importance of his chemical and biological weapons programmes, the issue of the alleged uranium purchases has dominated debate over the reliability of the intelligence information used to justify the war.
George W. Bush, the US president, cited UK intelligence information as the source of claims that Iraq had been trying to buy unenriched uranium. But the forged documents, some of which are thought to have been the result of a criminal scam, have never been in the possession of UK officials. They never sought to correct the mistaken impression that the source of the claim was the fake documents, as it was thought it would have embarrassed Mr Bush.
IAEA officials have said that none of the documentation they received regarding Iraq and Niger came from the UK. ...
Wilson had an agenda and it was fulfilled. Eventually tho, the truth has emerged.
Much as the NYSlimes apologyzed today for it's erronious headline......NO QAEDA LINK.......
The damage has been untold, however.
The Iraq Nuclear Verification Office (INVO) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (part of the UN) seems to think it did.
I didn't understand that one either. I think it's editorial comment. Or the Brits didn't mind the confusion - because they didn't trust the Americans with the documents anyway.
Joe Wilson couldn't find yellow cake uranium if it was shoved up his ass.
Actually, there are two main reasons why the liberal, biased slimebags in the so-called "elite media" will do all they can to smother all of these stories:
1. Ego, the need to be perceived as correct. This is what you mention above as their need to be right, or perceived as being right. After all, they are the elite braniacs and conservatives are the dumbed down results of public education.
2. Power. If these facts (and I emphasize FACTS), get out to even just a few percent of the undecideds, it could easily guarantee the election goes to President Bush. They cannot have that. They would implode. They NEED their power back at any and all costs. That means they will put you and I in harms way just for their power lust.
Unfortunately for them, these FACTS are starting to seep out, drip by drip. As hard as they try, the FACTS are still coming out. The next couple of months may quite possibly prove to be the time that the Democratic party completely went insane (ala ALGORE and DEAN) and began to shrivel up into a whimpering, smelly, sweaty ball of human waste.
Could all these FACTS dripping out now be an extremely well conceived plan by the Bush campaign, that they had a timeline and have stuck with it no matter how bad things looked? Maybe.
But, one thing I have posted for many years here on FR needs repeating now:
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE DEPTHS TO WHICH A LIBERAL WILL GO FOR POWER!!
What doesn't help are people like Bill O'Reilly who on his program last night still maintained that we haven't found any wmds. After the first few months of the war, Bill got on his high horse demanding that Bush produce the wmds to justify the war. Well we've started to find those wmds, but apparently O'Reilly chooses to ignore the news. I can't figure our why except for the fact that Bill stated that there are no wmds to a liberal reporter and now can't face the facts after discovering that he was wrong. He did a great job last night condemning that pile of excrement Moore about the lies of F-9/11, but then said that we still haven't found any wmds. I just about fell out of my chair and wanted to scream at him that YES!!! we have found them you pompous, self-inflated blowhard.
