"MOYERS: President Bush's recent speech to the American Enterprise Institute, he said, let me quote it to you. "The danger posed by Saddam Hussein and his weapons cannot be ignored or wished away." You agree with that?
WILSON: I agree with that. Sure. I…
MOYERS: "The danger must be confronted." You agree with that? "We would hope that the Iraqi regime will meet the demands of the United Nations and disarm fully and peacefully. If it does not, we are prepared to disarm Iraq by force. Either way, this danger will be removed. The safety of the American people depends on ending this direct and growing threat." You agree with that?
WILSON: I agree with that. Sure. The President goes on to say in that speech as he did in the State of the Union Address is we will liberate Iraq from a brutal dictator. All of which is true. But the only thing Saddam Hussein hears in this speech or the State of the Union Address is, "He's coming to kill me. He doesn't care if I have weapons of mass destruction or not. His objective is to come and overthrow my regime and to kill me." And that then does not provide any incentive whatsoever to disarm."

Great work. Your work would have more effect and exposure if you had all the links.

More like when he joined the 'Rat/MSM Jihad on Bush.
I still remember the muffler on the steps of Congress to explain how large the tax cuts were going to be, LOL. We should compile a list of all the mud Daschle and his followers have tried to get to stick to Bush.
I couldn't get the links to show up. If anybody asks, I'll try to provide them.
Curiouser and curiouser. I'm going to need (and might make) a timeline of all the connections, and lies. For example, that the spouse of one of the reporters was a long-time Clinton supporter.
This is good stuff!!! Wilson is a pathetic fraud who must be exposed, no matter how hard the MSM tries to protect him!

Missing In Action: Truth
Maybe someone can help you with the HTML.
Mrs. Mathew Cooper is also the daughter of the late Henry Grunwald, who was the managing editor of Time magazine.
He turned it from Luce conservatism to the liberal rag it is today.
Grunwald insisted on putting in Time it's first editorial ever in its fifty years. In that editorial, Grunwald called for Richard Nixon's impeachment or resignation.
The apple (Mandy) didn't fall far from the tree. She and Cooper (who is of course at Time--the Son-In-Law Also Rises) are trying to relive Henry's glory days.
Please do. This is getting good. I want documentation for some members in my family who sometimes send me sKerry talking points.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Start as far back in time as possible to get the "wedding shower in the WH with Hillary, etc.". This is clearly a VLW/Communist/Socialist/MSM/'RatC.
Its long been my belief that the reason Judith Miller has decided to sit in jail is that the source was Wilson.
Though in the last week I've added the possibility it was Kerry or his campaign that leaked the identity of Plame during the '04 campaign to try and make an issue to attack Bush with.
Pure speculation though.
I realize that. Some of the links showed up and some didn't. As for those articles, I thought most people would know of them. If not, I will do a short encapsulation:

I'm told by a person involved in the Niger caper that more than a year ago the vice president's office asked for an investigation of the uranium deal, so a former U.S. ambassador to Africa was dispatched to Niger. In February 2002, according to someone present at the meetings, that envoy reported to the C.I.A. and State Department that the information was unequivocally wrong and that the documents had been forged.
The envoy reported, for example, that a Niger minister whose signature was on one of the documents had in fact been out of office for more than a decade. In addition, the Niger mining program was structured so that the uranium diversion had been impossible. The envoy's debunking of the forgery was passed around the administration and seemed to be accepted -- except that President Bush and the State Department kept citing it anyway.

CIA Did Not Share Doubt on Iraq Data
Bush Used Report Of Uranium Bid
By Walter Pincus
Washington Post Staff Writer
CIA Did Not Share Doubt on Iraq Data (washingtonpost.com)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A46957-2003Jun11?language=printer
"Armed with information purportedly showing that Iraqi officials had been seeking to buy uranium in Niger one or two years earlier, the CIA in early February 2002 dispatched a retired U.S. ambassador to the country to investigate the claims, according to the senior U.S. officials and the former government official, who is familiar with the event. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity and on condition that the name of the former ambassador not be disclosed.
During his trip, the CIA's envoy spoke with the president of Niger and other Niger officials mentioned as being involved in the Iraqi effort, some of whose signatures purportedly appeared on the documents.
After returning to the United States, the envoy reported to the CIA that the uranium-purchase story was false, the sources said. Among the envoy's conclusions was that the documents may have been forged because the "dates were wrong and the names were wrong," the former U.S. government official said.
However, the CIA did not include details of the former ambassador's report and his identity as the source, which would have added to the credibility of his findings, in its intelligence reports that were shared with other government agencies. Instead, the CIA only said that Niger government officials had denied the attempted deal had taken place, a senior administration said.

Ministers Knew War Papers Were Forged, Says Diplomat
Ministers knew war papers were forged, says diplomat
http://psychoanalystsopposewar.org/resources_files/Ministers_knew_war_papers_were_forged,_says_diplomat.htm
A high-ranking American official who investigated claims for the CIA that Iraq was seeking uranium to restart its nuclear programme accused Britain and the US yesterday of deliberately ignoring his findings to make the case for war against Saddam Hussein.
The retired US ambassador said it was all but impossible that British intelligence had not received his report - drawn up by the CIA - which revealed that documents, purporting to show a deal between Iraq and the West African state of Niger, were forgeries.
When he saw similar claims in Britain's dossier on Iraq last September, he even went as far as telling CIA officials that they needed to alert their British counterparts to his investigation. ...
...The former diplomat - who had served as an ambassador in Africa - had been approached by the CIA in February 2002 to carry out a "discreet" task: to investigate if it was possible that Iraq was buying uranium from Niger. He said the CIA had been asked to find out in a direct request from the office of the Vice-President, Dick Cheney.
During eight days in Niger, he discovered it was impossible for Iraq to have been buying the quantities of uranium alleged. "My report was very unequivocal," he said. He also learnt that the signatures of officials vital to any transaction were missing from the documents. On his return, he was debriefed by the CIA.
This is spectacular. Well done, Sam.
Excellent! The hits just keep on coming.
