"If sending Joseph C. Wilson IV to Niger for a week is the best the world’s only hyperpower can do, that’s a serious problem."

Talk about an understatement! Whoever had the bright idea to send this idiot over to Nigeria on such an important and delicate matter needs to be fired. ASAP.

[Fair Paul]

I believe the person with the bright idea was his wife who lobbied her employer on his behalf.

Are you kidding?

By the standard of lickspittle lacky traditionally hired by Foggy Bottom's self-annointing and self-perpetuating Communist Party of America/Communist International/Comintern/Comminform-descended, un-and-anti-American Brahamas, this joker is a whiz kid!

A stellar performer!

A star!

[And never ever even so much as get me started on State's Bureau for International Narcotic's Matters and Enforcements' truly evil, lying, looting, thieving, murdering, moronic "aviation director," the leaden trailing edge static wick of aviation innovation and world champion lying piece of doodoo, John E McLaughlin!]

This is the biggest problem not just for Bush, but for any conservative in Washington, period. You're fighting a war within in addition to all the wars without. 90% of the civilian career bureacracy is hard-core liberal democrat and adamantly opposed to your policies. Tenet has good intentions, but he can't just make a clean sweep of all the troublemakers. Most of these people unfortunately can't be fired, because they're members of the federal employee union.

The best face to put on this s that Wilson played the Chevy Chase part in Spies Like Us.

Who sent Wilson on his folly is the SCANDAL.

. The version of the story that still fits the facts is in that Bob Novak Sun-Times column from July. Novak wanted to know why Wilson had been chosen to go to Africa. It’s one thing not to be a card-carrying neocon, quite another to be as antipathetic to the administration and the war as this fellow. The White House asked the CIA, the CIA recommended Wilson, and their recommendation was accepted automatically. But what the original leakers told Novak was that it was Mrs Wilson who’d proposed her husband for the job. The Company responded that their counter-proliferation officials came up with Wilson and they only used the wife to contact him.

Novak was sniffing around the real scandal..

There is a rogue facation in the CIA..

Joe's "intelligence gathering" techniques suggests that the CIA recruits using match book covers.

Well, I guess that would be Wilson's wife.

Well, that depends on whether or not this bright idea was accompanied by an equally bright idea to use this buffoon as a cover for a real intel operation.

If Wilson was just a cover, then this thing blowing up into a big hoo-raw has to be counted as a definite plus for the intel guys.

He may have already resigned. Plame's boss, Alan Foley, announced his resignation on August 29.

Curious, huh?
