You have a great resource....'home page'.......thanks for all the good work!
I did a lot of research on Joe Wilson, I said from day one that he was a fraud. A year ago I screamed to anyone who would listen about the fact that Wilson claimed he saw the "Forged Document" before he left for Niger. The U.N. Report shows that the "Forged Document" didn't even exist until 8 months after Joe Wilson returned from his Sweet Tea Mission to Niger
First off we knew for a fact that he HAD them.
Secondly, we knew that Saddam was hiding everything he could in the 90's when we had inspectors there.
Third, We uncovered the details of his stockpiles in the 90's but Saddam never turned them over, we had to search for them, and we found quite a bit.
Fourth, Saddam was enduring the sanctions and no fly zones for more than his ego.
IMHO The Democrats used the Joe Wilson claim that "Bush Lied" about the Uranium claims in the SOTU speech as a club to attack GWB over the War in Iraq because that was his strongest reason to get reelected. They had little else to run against him with.
The "Bush Lied" sound bite was a big hit with the Bush bashers and it snowballed all the way through the primaries and now the Democrats are in a corner, because the facts are coming out now and the facts are on George W. Bush's side
