Joe Wilson, Iraq war supporter?
The darling of the anti-war left may be working overtime to bring down the Bush administration for "outing" his CIA wife, but Wilson said Saturday that the White House was right to go to war over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
"There was a lot of reason to be concerned about weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Saddam Hussein," he told WABC Radio's Mark Simone. "I always thought that he probably had chemical and biological weapons and biological precursors as well."
Wilson said his primary policy difference with President Bush wasn't over Saddam's WMDs, but rather on the question of "how to construct a policy that gets to the national security issue of disarming Saddam Hussein and does so at minimum risk to other legitimate U.S. interests both in Iraq and in the region."
But aside from that, Wilson said he cheered President Bush's decision to topple the Iraqi dictator, telling Simone: "When the president went up to the U.N. and got the [war] resolution unanimously passed at the U.N., nobody applauded louder than I did."
Joe must be getting nervous about the Niger memo investigation being restarted.
He was initially against the war because he feared massive US casualties from chemical weapons. He's a flip flop traitor!
The Democratic Underground is not going to like this...
What does he know that we don't? It seems he is covering his tracks for some reason.
Now he's for the war, but not the way the war is being prosecuted?
If I remember correctly, Clarke was for the war before he was against the war too.
LOL! What's this, the notes to a new Harlequin Romance? These two got in over their heads and are about to find out what the word treason means. Could be they won't be seeing the twins for a while.
Wilson putting his finger in the air?
I smell a RAT, and her name is HRC!
I still have a curiousity that sticks in my head.
Did Jacqueline and Valerie know each other? Were they even perhaps, good friends? It's not unusual for men to marry "her best friend". Why has Jacqueline remained overseas?
Joe and Valerie stayed at the Watergate before they were married. How many folks on the Watergate staff knew Valerie Plame? Who attended Joe and Valerie's wedding? Who took care of Joe's divorce and attached assets? (wolf)? Why did someone write that Valerie had to change some assets when she was outed?
HRC: Absolutely!! Joe has been ordered to get on the right page (or else)....which is in agreement with Hillary's vote. Hillary will likely be appearing with Timmee Russert very shortly.
Don't they ALL just stick their fingers in the air? Unless you are Bubba of course...then you stick something else in the air....
Quick, nurse, give me the antidote!!! We can still save him if we can destroy the Kerry virus that has taken over his body!!!

That was also the perspective of Chirac and de Villepin - with whom Joe probably chatted on a regular basis. His previous wife was involved with French diplomacy or intelligence in some way, I forget the details.
Joe Wilson was for being an imbecile before he was against being an imbecile?
Can someone tell me when Powell ever went to the U.N. and got a "war resolution passed"?
The U.N. said "no". What the hell is he talking about?
Oh I see. This is obviously a misrepresentation on Newsmax's part. It says: "...got the [war] resolution unanimously passed..."
It obviously was a different toothless threat Wilson was refering to. "[war] resolution?" This is some shabby reportage if you ask me. I wouldn't take any of it seriously if an "error" like that is in it.
The Wilsons moved across country? Where? When?
He's setting himself up for a pardon.
