THE TRAP FOR BUSH IS REVEALED
20 September 2004

How Bush and the Truth defeat CBS and The Washington Monthly

CBS’s “Rat” has to eat his own “tale” but Washington Monthly’s Joshua cant “Marshall” the courage to admit defeat.

While the CBS anchorman Dan “Rat” Rather is forced to say sorry the Washington Monthly’s Joshua Marshall just cant bring himself to admit defeat. CBS’s attempt to smear the President was scuppered and the “Rat” publicly admitted that “we made a mistake in judgment, and for that I’m sorry”. So the “rat” made an “ass” of himself, well it happens from time to time when your objective is a smear campaign. Another chapter closed.

So what about Joshua being scuppered. Well the story is very simple, Rocco Martino, the guy at the center of the Nigergate scandal spilled the beans. When the Italian judge asked the million dollar question all Martino could do was tell the truth: it was the French all along. Just to clear up any misunderstandings Martino then added that the Italians had NEVER had anything to do in the affair. Sorry Josh but when the truth emerges it emerges and you just cant refute it.

So now that the truth is out what does good old Josh do? The only thing that’s left to the by now discredited “investigative journalist”: he claims, though his comments published on the www.talkingpointsmemo.com site, that the others got it all wrong. In doing so he makes the mistake of insulting London’s Sunday Telegraph and may now face legal action for slander. Josh it looks bad, bad, bad.

If, as Josh maintains, the FBI were interested in Martino why didn’t he hand him over on one of the two occasions that, by his own admission, he brought Rocco Martino into the United States in order to be interviewed by CBS? In addition knowing that Martino was wanted by the Italian judges why did Marshal take him to the States to use him against President Bush and Italy? Maybe Josh has some explaining to do.

Just one last comment, if CBS had transmitted the interview with Martino the Italian Judges would have issued a public statement ruining what little credibility CBS has left.

It's a coded message from Osama to the insurgent Terrorist lurkers that have been hiding in the shadows of FreeRepublic. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid....

I "think" this is a story complaining about the Niger uranium forged documents that were claimed to be the source of the "Saddamn was trying to buy Niger uranium" that Bush quoted British intelligence in the past State of the Union address.

Brit's checked, verified the story through other means.

But the socialist liberals keep claiming that the purchasing story is evidence of "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!" "Bush lied!"

However, if this means that the author must recant, then what else will be uncovered?

But, it is a poorly written piece, one that does little to explain, and seemingly one that may be written to show just how far "inside" the author is.

Poor Josh Marshal. So out of his league. Says US authorities didn't stop Josh from meeting Martino. Now, why on earth would they do that????

Just my opinion, naturally. Maybe he should read a cheesy spy novel for some basics.

The memos were groundwork for the DNC 'fortunate son' ads.

Yes, I had a vague idea that was the intent, but the vanity is just so well written I couldn't undertand it, much less understand how we throw Dan Rather in there. And that explains why some people, like your sister, get bitten by Møøsë.
