The Demo/Commies will be greatly saddened... One more reason to boycott France...

Very interesting indeed!

Let's see how the MSM handles this story.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

After we get done with Syria, its time to turn our attention to the fourth member of the axis of evil, France.

[Publius6961]

... by disseminating bogus documents stating that Iraq was trying to buy low-grade “yellowcake” uranium from Niger, France was trying to “set up” Britain and America in the hope that when the mistake was revealed it would undermine the case for war, which it wanted to prevent.

This statement begs the question; why?

Oil for food bucks? Arms contracts? Nuclear Research sales?
Therein lies the real news.

[SGCOS]

I'm so sick of hearing about yellow cake..How about 'Glazed donut uranium?'

[pissant]

Do we have any congresscritter with enough balls to go after the French over this? Bush should NOT have to be the heavy here. Santorum? Frist? Anyone?????????

[Cicero]

As I recall, he was linked with French intelligence in the earliest stories, but it's interesting that he admits it, and the reasons behind it.

Now the question is whether the French may have acted as cutoffs for rogue operators in the CIA. It's not improbable, since they communicate fairly often and agree on the anti-war agenda.

[txhurl]

huh......

[pbear8]

Russo Martino AKA Dan Rather

[alnick]

he did this in the pay of France to undermine the British and American justification for the war in Iraq:

I remember some Freepers speculating just that, that France was behind it in an effort to undermine the President and the war. I wish I could remember which Freepers; they deserve to be recognizes, IMO.

Oh, and I wonder when the NYT, Newsweek, CBS et all will report on this development. Oh, that's right...never.

[SE Mom]

Ping for jaw-dropping...

[agooga]

You know-- I started posting that I thought this sounded like a BS story, but as I got to thinking about it, it started sounding more plausible. Those ridiculous French would probably play these kinds of petty games just for the shear joy of being able to say "gotcha!" to the hated US/UK.

[oceanview]

no news here. soon after the Niger story broke, John Batchelor and Loftus said the documents were planted by the french as a poison pill to discredit what was otherwise a legit story. that's been the truth all along - the administration was too quick to pull back on the Niger story, it was true.

[DocRock]

And yet the media still ignores that we found 500 Tons of Uranium in Iraq!

[thoughtomator]

Didn't we know this 2 years ago?

[angkor]

Niger. Yellowcake. Wilson. Plame. Rove. Libby. CIA. Novak. Miller.

Big headache.

Joe Wilson et al are the targets. Liars, mendicants, seditious fools.

[marty60]

SOOOOO, Joe and Val were working in collusion with the Frogs to undermine the United States and provide aid and comfort to the enemy. NOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE TREASON.

WHERE ARE THE CALLS FOR JOE AND VAL TO ANSWER WHETHER THEY KNEW THE FROGS WERE INVOLVED.
