| Reporters are simply beginning to irritate the daylights out of me. They are running around screaming that the emperor has no clothes, parsing words and in general hyping a non-story. The real story is Joe Wilson and his wife Valerie Plame. Why did this man go to Niger? His wife sent him right? But, why did she want to send him? To send her hubby on an expense paid trip to Niger? I doubt it. To get him out of the house so she could have an affair? I doubt that also. She would say that it was to get intelligence information on a rumor that Niger was selling uranium to Iraq. But that begs the question, why send a diplomat? Diplomats are trained to lie, they are not trained to gather intelligence. One had to realize that J.Wilson couldn't possibly gather more information than MI-6 while drinking sweet tea with diplomats who are trained to lie nearly as well as the ambassador. So what was the motive of this trip all along? Let's assume that Wilson returned and reported the truth that Niger didn't sell yellow cake to Iraq. Let's assume that the government believed him but for other reasons wanted to continue the story of the uranium connection. As a United States diplomat, I can assure you it wouldn't be the first time this man was asked to lie with a poker face for the US. Could you imagine what would happen if all diplomats got indignant every time they were asked to lie for their government and ran to the press to blow the whistle? So why did he go to the press even if what he said were true? We all know that he is the most discredited man in Washington. By-partisan Senate Intelligence committee has confirmed that he is a liar. British intelligence has confirmed he is a liar. The entire planet knows he is a liar (with the exception of the MSM and Chuck Schumer), but that still doesn't answer the question that all reporters are not asking. Why lie to damage a policy arrived at legally by both houses of congress and the administration? Was Wilson on the take from Hussein like his British counterpart Galloway? I doubt it. As misguided as J.Wilson might have been and still is, I believe he is a patriot of sorts. What else important was going on in America at this time? As I recall the campaigning of Democratic candidates started very early in 2003. Could it be possible that Wilson was a hack for national Democrats planted to do damage to the president? Look at poll numbers. Most Americans have no clue what is going on where it concerns Karl Rove. All they know is there is some "big stink" about an administration employee leaking the identity of a CIA agent and by golly someone should get a rope. Hopefully the special prosecutor is asking these questions, because reporters damn sure are not. If Wilson would have come back and told the truth ("I drank tea and didn't learn anything"), his wife would not have been mentioned in any articles. But instead he came home and told lies, and these lies to the American public were being corrected by Karl Rove. If her name was never used, the story would have been focused on why this man lied, if the story was reported at all. |
