There are several very odd, and quite telling, responses from Joe Wilson during this chat.
I'm sure this will be pulled off of Kerry's site soon, so I am posted here for posterity, disection, whatever....

"(Kerry) is the one candidate who like me, has a shared experience of speaking truth to a hostile power"
Except for the small fact that you lied about the yellow-cake, and your wife. But then so does Kerry...

Did Ambassador April Glaspie essentially give Saddam the go-ahead to invade Kuwait when she told him that the administration has no position on Arab-Arab disputes? Especially given the fact that Saddam and the Bush administration had been doing business for years and had solid relations at the moment Kuwait was invaded.

No.
*** Joe Wilson (Oct 29, 2003 11:50:44 AM)
She repeated to Saddam what American policy has always been on these types of disputes

which is that we urge parties to settle them diplomatically and not go to war.

This is another lie. April told an Iraqi diplomat that the US did not consider Kuwait to be under its protective umbrella. In diplomatic-speak this translates to "rape and pillage, we won't make a fuss over it". Funny how Wilson is so quick to whitewash one of the worst diplomatic mistakes of our generation.
Seems like Joe Wilson and John Kerry really are peas in a pod.
The Irony.
Joe was even Bitching that Bush was not fit to be a leader because he had not got Hussein, yet.
Bush could have done everything these Thursday morning quarterbacks asked for and they would still hate him.
It was John Kerry, who took that message most directly to the seat of power when he appeared before the Senate. That, by the way . . . is the act as distinguished from mere words, that for me makes him the candidate I enthusiastically support
That to me is the issue of the Kerry candidacy. The nomination of x42 was the vindication of the "antiwar" movement at the very moment that the "Right Wing Cold Warriors" under Ronald Reagan achieved their purpose of stopping Soviet expansionism.John Kerry's entire political history has been in opposition to Ronald Reagan and to his poliltical heirs. And that means that - like Clinton and in contrast to the fantasy Clinton expressed that he wished 911 had happened on his watch so that Clinton could have been a hero in response to it - Kerry is opposed to actual heroism in defense of the Constituiton of the United States.
Naturally that will be inverted in the Democratic Convention, where Lt John Kerry will be glorified as the great warrior. And that is the whole resume of John Kerry and John Edwards. That, and "Bush him bad" rhetoric.
Couldn't and shouldn't Wilson be tried for something?
He did lie to a congressional committee.
"When Bush the candidate went to South Carolina and ran a subrosa campaign against McCain accusing his wife of being a drug addict and his kids of not being white (as if that mattered). That is not the change of tone I was looking for. When the neoconservatives got control of our national security policy, I knew we needed to mobilize to fight"
And he lied about Rove, and he hates Cheney.
Folks, this guy was a partisan hack from the get-go.
