How much would I bet that this "former US ambassador with strong links to the CIA" is none other than JOE WILSON, here shopping his 'expertise' to left-wing reporters before June 19, 2003.......

Posting this article from "The Nation" which does not seem to have been posted on FR previously (as far as I can tell from a search). Here the unnamed "former US ambassador with strong links to the CIA" is not quoted specifically about WMD issues but rather about Chalabi and the Iraqi exiles; nonetheless, I think this is another indication that Joe Wilson had shopped his tales to numerous reporters BEFORE July 2003 while using his wife's CIA employment as a source of (supposed) credibility for his assertions.

This article will probably always be around...but maybe the whole article should be posted on this thread. I know I've gone back after a few yrs and the article is gone.

If you made two columns, the first one which list the lies of the Bush-haters and a second one listing the lies of Bush, the first column would be packed full and the second one would be empty.

And "former State Department official" is none other than the addled and odious Larry Johnson....

Everything said, by the left, about the importance of Chalabi is nothing but their own spin; not the actual views of our intelligence community. Chalabi, and other Iraq exiles gave information to our intelligence agencies. None of it was taken at face value, none of it was given preference over the totality of the rest of our intelligence. Input, yes, absolute definitive truth, no.

The truth is that anyone the "neocons" ever talked to is determined, as a religious belief by the left, that they were working with those "neocons" to subvert the "facts" to the "neocon" agenda. As if such an agenda was needed to have good reasons to go after Saddam.

Somewhere underneath all this there has to be someone dolling out monetary rewards to feed their overinflated ego's. I haven't been given any proof yet that any of them have the intelligence to do all this on their own. Someone, somewhere who hasn't come to the surface yet is pulling the puppet strings.

I recieved a copy of the Nation in the mail a few weeks back (it was delivered to the wrong address) I had never seen it before. What a cheap-ass "magazine" Poor quality paper, printing, and only a hand full of pages....pathetic.


Way to go finding this

Good work. Wilson or not, the die was cast a while back...every theme we have watched the mainstream media pursue and beat us over the head with for several years now was outlined. We have the no WMD (Bush distorted and/or lied), not enough troops, no post war plan and the secret neo-conservative/Israel connection all in one place, complete with quotes from people who claim to know with absolute certainty the workings of the White House.
