By the way, here's a link to Wilson's famous LA Times op-ed piece:

A "Big Cat" With Nothing to Lose

(excerpt)

"There is now no incentive for Hussein to comply with the inspectors or to refrain from using weapons of mass destruction to defend himself if the United States comes after him."

"And he will use them; we should be under no illusion about that.

Thanks. So Wilson was indeed using Saddam's possession of WMD as an antiwar talking point at that time. Apparently this was reversed after Bush's SOTU when the new antiwar talking point became Saddam's non-possession of WMD. Consistency is evidently no barrier to propaganda for Joseph Wilson: for Wilson the end justifies the means, and the facts will be made to conform to the end. But, according to him, Bush is the Orwellian one who manipulates intelligence to generate a prearranged outcome. I believe Dr. Freud would call that projection. Maybe Joseph Wilson should change his last name to Goebbels.
