Piasa keep digging up the gems..
Cyn see post 217..
Okay...Well Oil for food = oil or nukes with this caveat...
Not a direct corralation but becomes the end result. Wilson is sent at the behest of his wife to make sure the French company is obsolved of wrong doing....in the proccess the French get thier oil benefits and exchange them for yellow cake uranium.
Wilson actually is now not just a player but now a pawn ( useful idiot) because he probably believes that he is just there to cover any uranium discussion so he can get the administration. I believe Wilson can't see past his own nose...which would exlain his percieved vanity. Because he tells lie after lie and thinks nothing of it...but the press keeps hauling this guy out. ..oops off on a tangent..
So tell me how Kelly plays in all this.
Right after the orignal Plame flap started, I did a search on the name Valerie Plame and came up with this genealogy link with that personal information on it. I wonder if this is a legit post where she's looking for family history, or is there something more to this post. Maybe a code or signal connected with her job at CIA--Ukraine and all that. Anybody know where Plame was born/raised?
My take: [ FWIW :-) ]
First the page was last updated May, 2000 which means she has put her Maiden and Married name on a PUBLIC forum. Genealogy is a huge internet activity, so it is seen by thousands.
Keep in mind, I rarely post my entire name and personal email address in genealogy boards, unless I know the person I am posting to our I have been a member of that forum forever.
I would say it was obvious Valerie was not interested in anonominity (?sp) in May of 2000. Either that or she is incredibly stupid to think no one can make the connection.
Yesterday Hannity was talking about his (Joe's) book as it relates tto his relationship with Valerie.
If I recall, about the third date they were in the middle of a heavy makeout session and she stopped with an "Oh, BTW, there is something you should know about me. I am a CIA agent." [paraphrased of course.
Whoa....I am no expert on policy and procedure, but I thought being it was imperative that operatives avoid being compromised, especially in a sexual trist.
He met her in Feb 1997 (also keep in mind he did not divorce his second (?) wife until 1998-just an aside as to his character.)
Seems like everyday ordinary white trash to me.
That's what I think, and I further speculate that the leaker had leaked real information detrimental to national security--not just this irrelevant, non-criminal crap about the desk jockey Plame.
Thanks for your reply. I too am an amateur genealogy buff and you are exactly right about posting full names and other personal stuff including email addresses. It is quite uncommon. For one thing, there are those who sweep up such personal information and use it for marketing &c. I find this post very strange indeed.
It's really amazing how closely many of the prominent journalists are linked to prominent politicians. Might be interesting to make a list for reference. I'm sure someone somewhere has done it.
Wow. I remember following that story that night as it mutated its way around the world AFTER having been discredited.
I have a feeling that this case is a Rope a Dope aka Rove a Dope. Surely, the special prosecutor will have all the answers and God help anyone that commits perjury.
Wow...only 300 missed points.
There's also the issue of control of the mines. As I recall, there were several statements - from Niger - that there were mines that weren't controlled, and that there was concern about unofficial sales being not only possible, but entirely plausible.
I think most of that's on the right track, but my take is that Wilson had something to gain beyond getting the administration. Among his possible motives, the one that seems most tangible to me is that his business partners and political allies had financial and geopolitical interests in parts of Africa and the Middle East also of interest to France, and these interests were at stake in the debate over Iraq.
On Kelly, when he died he was being investigated as a possible source for a story by British reporter Andrew Gilligan which related to the British investigation of the origin of the same forged documents underlying Wilson's story.
Thanks for mentioning that. I don't think I'd heard those statements, but that seems logical to me, and plausible in light of Niger uranium sales to Libya. It's at least a possibility Wilson should've taken seriously if he was serious about his investigation.
As a business owner, the 3 words I loathe the most: "I Don't Know".
Okay now that all makes sense. It seems so obvious..there has to be a money trail though for this to come to fruition.
With all we know...the one question I have..is why is the WH just milling about on on this? I am starting to get the impression that there will be a huge suprise and the press will have a ton of egg on it's face.
Perhaps he DIDN'T lie!
Perhaps his REAL source did give him a last minute waiver, the identity of whom we still don't know as it was only disclosed to the Grand Jury.
If this is the case, it's further proof that it wasn't Rove!
hmmmmmm.....
According to Vanity Fair, they met at a cocktail party in Washington DC.
That's my impression, too.
