"Plame’s husband didn’t actually expose Bush for making up a story about Saddam and uranium, because Bush never made up such a story. Bush only said that British intelligence had concluded that the Saddam regime had sought uranium from Niger. And British intelligence had indeed so concluded, and with valid reasons, according to findings of an independent investigative panel (the Lord Butler Commission).
GREAT READ!!!!! As if we dedn’t know this, tho.
The whole “retaliation” scenario was never more than a fantasy concocted in Joe Wilson’s brain, but Fitzgerald took it as a starting point in his investigation, assuming it to be true.
it was a lie and yes lies are harsh........but not unmanagable
Somebody gets it...Just wow...
GREAT ARTICLE! and from The Trentonian is a surprize and a good one at that. Hopefully the GOP will use it to show the Electorate how the Dems are out lying to undermine Our Wonderful Nation.
It's frustrating when even a story that is trying to get it right gets stuff wrong. The President said they concluded that Saddam was seeking uranium from AFRICA. Niger was not named.
Still, it is good to see someone can see what's right in front of them.
The Editorial Staff at the Trentonian were the first to get it right.
This one is a review for the moonbats in the audience on the eve of the Grifter's book release.
Joe Wilson’s report concluded that Saddam was making inquiries via representatives, but never purchased any ore.
Libya did. Then it magically disappeared and reappeared in Iraq. The UN nuclear task force checked the ‘locked’ facility where tons of ore was stored. It was still there.
The old police evidence room trick. 50 tons out(to Syria), 50 tons in, nobody the wiser.
Here’s the best part. This was not the first trip to Niger to ‘spy’ for the CIA on yellowcake ore sales to Saddam.
Joe Wilson was ‘selected’ to do exactly the same thing back during CLINTON’s administration, and reported the same thing.
It wasn’t until Joe got hooked up by the DNC (with one of those AFDA type loans where they give you a million or so, and you never pay it back, with which he moved to AZ and retired), that he started going to the press, complaining that the Bush Admin was lying.
BTW, why was Joe Wilson going to NIGER in the first place???
He was going there on personal business. What Business???
He had to be the point man for his company because of a deal which involved the President of Niger.
What is the main export of Niger that the President of Niger is the main dealer for??? Sales of Yellowcake ore.
Joe Wilson owns a brokerage firm that handles deals for the President of Niger.
Deeper investigation into Joe’s trip might have disclosed what he was really doing there, so..... he had to protect his interests.
Wouldn’t want the country knowing that the DNC was supporting the sales of yellowcake ore to Saddam , would he???
There’s only so much space, it’s an editorial not a history book, though I would have liked to see it mentioned that Novack called Wilson before publication and Wilson did not object.
Anyone have that article link?
pinging for interest
I didn't know that.
Happy they woke up—it’s taken long enough though.
Lie is the correct word.
Yeah, but the media already spread the lie around the World, and did not clarify or correct it’s erroneous reports. So half the country believes the Joe and Valewrie Wilson side of the argument. And didn’t President Bush apologize for his statement, arming these liars further?
