tHIS WILSON AFFAIR IS TAKING TOO MUCH INC AS IT IS. THEY SHOULD GIVE IT A REST.
"SO WILSON WENT NIGER TO FIND OUT IF SADDAM PURCHASED URANIUM, HE FOUND NOTHING TO PROVE SUCH ALLIGATIONS."
Would he want to find proof?
THE ADMINISTRATION'S ATTACK DOGS WENT AFTER HIM.
Maybe. But didn't he first? Isn't he a Kerry attack dog?
HE SHOULD HAVE LIED AND SAID YES SADDAM PURCHASED ENOUGH URANIUM TO MAKE A THOUSAND BOMBS SO MAY BE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROMOTED TO SECRETARY OF STATE?
How would that get him to be Secretary of State under Kerry? What would he do to be Secretary of State under Kerry?
No. He went to see if they TRIED to do so. Big difference.
HE FOUND NOTHING TO PROVE SUCH ALLIGATIONS.
Nothing to prove he bought uranium, yes. But again, that was not the point. According to the Senate Report his work bolstered the case that he attempted.
HE SHOULD HAVE LIED AND SAID YES SADDAM PURCHASED ENOUGH URANIUM TO MAKE A THOUSAND BOMBS SO MAY BE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROMOTED TO SECRETARY OF STATE?
No, he should have told the truth, which as that while Saddam did not succeed in purchasing uranium, it was not for a lack of trying. Then he could have refrained from accusing Bush of lying about the same.
tHIS WILSON AFFAIR IS TAKING TOO MUCH INC AS IT IS. THEY SHOULD GIVE IT A REST.
On this we agree. The ink used to print his books was a total waste.
I guess you haven't been following this. Wilson lied. Wilson was working for Kerry when he made up this story. His original report only bolstered tha assertions that were made regarding Iraq attempting to buy uranium from Niger.

Joseph Wilson
Ancien conseiller Afrique de Bill Clinton et ancien ambassadeur au Gabon, Joe Wilson pourrait devenir le conseiller Afrique de John F. Kerry, s'il rentre à la Maison Blanche. On se rappellera également que le très francophile Joe Wilson a, le premier, dénoncé la manipulation des services américains reprise par George Bush sur la vente supposée d'uranium nigérien à l'Irak (LC Ndeg.433).

SO WILSON WENT NIGER TO FIND OUT IF SADDAM PURCHASED URANIUM,
No. Wilson went to Niger because some individuals in the CIA, acting on their own initiative, arranged for him to go at the suggestion of his wife. What their real motives are is not known for certain, but it is presumed that he was sent to talk to some former officials in Niger to see if he could learn anything new to add to what reports the CIA had already obtained and what it had been given by other intelligence services, among them Italy and the UK, which indicated that Iraq was SEEKING to purchase uranium in Africa. It didn't matter if it had succeeded in buying uranium, the interest was in whether or not Iraq was still interested, still motivated to pursue a nuclear program. Obviously if it wasn't, it would not be seeking uranium much less buying it. Iraq claimed it quit its nuke program in its dossier- if it was seeking uranium then its claim to the UN is false, and is a violation justifying keeping sanctions in place.
It wasn't Wilson's job to analyze his info. It was his 'job' to make inquiries, not judgements. I put 'job' in quotes because he is not to our knowledge an employee of the CIA. His only current job description seems to be 'self employed' and "Kerry advisor.'
HE FOUND NOTHING TO PROVE SUCH ALLIGATIONS.
He wasn't trying to find evidence to prove Iraq bought uranium. He was sent to find out if Iraq TRIED to purchase uranium. There is a big difference between the two though apparently you don't see it. He did indeed find evidence of the latter- but chose to obscure his findings because he either knew very well what it meant and feared that others would come to the inevitable conclusion, or he wss a complete moron. It meant that Iraq had no intention of ending its quest for a nuclear weapon. He should know that, married as he is to a WMD expert.
THE ADMINISTRATION'S ATTACK DOGS WENT AFTER HIM.
There is no evidence to support that theory.
HE SHOULD HAVE LIED
He should not have lied. That's the problem with Wilson- he lies like an arthritic dog with only one leg. He lies even when he doesn't have to.
Wilson shouldn't have been selected to go to Niger in the first place. He should have declined to go to Niger because of his conflict of interest when asked. since he went anyway, he should have had the balls to put his name on his report and submit it on paper. He should have known that his intel on Niger was not all intel on Niger instead of assuming that HE was the first and last word on the matter. He should have known that others were better judges of his intel than he because others had access to more info on which to base a judgement. He should not have written an op ed full of BS designed to undermine not merely his own findings in Niger but also to undermine the position of the US and UK, to undermine our personnel, and to undermine others unknown who had done their jobs without fanfare. He should have kept the confidence of others intead of seeking face time and profit for himself. He should not have knowingly made accusations against those with whom he disagreed when he had no evidence, not one shred to support his claims.
He should not have permitted himself to be cast as a conservative when his record spoke otherwise.
AND SAID YES SADDAM PURCHASED ENOUGH URANIUM TO MAKE A THOUSAND BOMBS SO MAY BE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROMOTED TO SECRETARY OF STATE?
He would not have been promoted by this administration to Secretary of State in payment for a lie and you know it. He appears to be banking on getting a reward of some form from a wannabe President Kerry or some other individual or group in exchange for a series of lies.
tHIS WILSON AFFAIR IS TAKING TOO MUCH INC AS IT IS. THEY SHOULD GIVE IT A REST.
No, it should not be given a rest. Wilson is not only working for Kerry but he deserves exposure for his dishonesty and his motivations. He has some questions to answer for his other connections to Rock Creek Co. And he and his wife have things to answer for in regard to the exposure of the front company- unless she lied about her employer on an FEC form without a go-ahead from the CIA. She could have just written US Government down as her employer- why did she lie or why did she expose the front company if it was such a thing?
Those who selected and sent Wilson to Niger have some things to answer for. The Kerry campaign has some things to answer for, and the book publisher has some things to answer for, and the CIA has to answer for not investigating the Navy's report on Niger uranium in Benin.
You got it.
Wilson's filched fifteen minutes was up weeks ago.
The rest is moot.
