No mention of Wilson being part of the Kerry Kampaign?

"I like my title better."
I do too. The boarding party better hurry the hell up.
I like your title, too!
As Wilson, I am sure, is aware, there is a huge difference between the following two statements:
1. "I have found no evidence that Iraq tried to buy uranium from Niger."
2. "I have found evidence that Iraq did not try to buy urnaium from Niger."
The first statement is probably true, owing primarily to the fact that Wilson never did any real investigative work.
The second statement is demonstrably false in that it is very difficult to prove a negative. If the original story had indicated that a specific Iraqi operative had been in Niger on a specific date for the purpose of obtaining Uranium, proof that this did not occur would involve alibi evidence of some sort--e.g., the operative was seen in Switzerland on the day this meeting was to have occurred.
Wilson produced scenario number one and turned it into scenario number two. It's called lying.
This is a terribly helpful and important bit of information of which until now I was unaware. Wonder why the MSM hasn't reported it? Unless Iraq was looking for Niger mung beans or goats, it must have been looking for uranium.
Very well put.
"Wonder why the MSM hasn't reported it? "
Lets see if I can get this straight, a French led cartel controls the uranium that is sold out of Niger, therefore Iraq couldn't possibly have purchased/obtained uranium because their buddies the French controlled it.....hhhhhmmmm
Thats about as ridiculous as "the 16 words" argument itself
TPD
No mention of Wilson being part of the Kerry Kampaign?
"And Niger has no control over the uranium mined there. A cartel led by the French controls the product, so Iraq wouldn't have been able to purchase the uranium from Niger anyway, said Ray McGovern, a retired CIA analyst who has criticized the war."
Maybe not the Niger government, but the french are dirty up to their eyeballs in under the table Iraqi money. They sold nuclear capability to saddam once and they have proven not to be trustworthy.
Either way, once again the french are around when a fishy deal comes up. Maybe we need a dirty french ping list.
Oddly enough there was absolutely no mention of wilsons connection to the kerry campaign. I'm sure it was just an oversight, or the printer slipped, or the dog ate his homework.
New tagline material...
Has a certain ring to it. Kinda like Spiro Agnew's "Nattering nabobs of negativity".
If Senator Bond is such a whiz at "ferreting out vast sums of federal dollars to send home," why are Missouri roads the worst in the nation ?
You've obviously never been to Wisconsin :)
From the headline, I thought for a moment that Dave Barry was trying his hand at political reporting.
I'll take that as a compliment. (I think)
I took the interstate from across from Cairo, Illinois down to Arkansas about three years ago. That was one extra sorry highway. Bond must not be bringing home that much bacon despite what the News Cartel idiot claims.
Heck, as an Anbassador type he could have carried suitcases full of money around and no one would have challenged him.
Did Wilson take the Yellowcake Road to Africa via commecial aviation or did he go via government plane? Wonder if that has beeen found by anyone?
I would! Dave Barry, the founder of talk like a pirate day, writes a great syndicated humor column. When you have some time, do a FR keyword search for "davebarry"
