St. Chuck said..."All this other stuff about possible inconsistencies in later publications of Mr. Wilson are really collateral issues and have nothing to do with the events that occurred in early July of 2003. It doesn't serve conservatives well to focus on the man and build an army of strawmen when the issue is really simple and straightforward."
So, St. Chucklehead, you basically are sugarcoating all the lies of Joe Wilson as "collateral issues". These are not strawmen arguments. On the contrary, they directly undermine the credibility of this witness, Joe Wilson. Unfortunately, this includes his conclusion, that the Bush administration manipulated WMD information, in the July article published in the NYT.
It's not just me and thousands of other blogger types who are questioning Joe Wilson's credibility. The list includes journalists such as Bob Woodward, who has pointed out many of the inconsistencies (i.e. lies) in the Wilson narrative. For the most recent exposure, please read the Op-Ed from Max Boot that appeared yesterday in the LA Times. He slams your boy big time for his consistent pattern of lies and wonders if Wilson lying to the media is a crime!
Libby may very well have lied about his conversations with reporters. But, he has not been indicted for outing the so-called "covert" CIA agent, Valerie Plame. And, despite the Lib mantra, he is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.
The problem with you and the Libs is that you all seem to be operating in another realm of reality. Facts really don't matter. The only thing that matters is regaining political power, truth and decency be damned. The continual barrage of anti-Bush garbage from the Dim party and its legions are quickly making the Dims even more inconsequential.
Sleep well!
Max Boot! Max Boot? The torture advocating uberimperialist neo con who thinks not enough American blood was spilt in Afghanistan, who thinks that the armed forces should recruit foreigners to fill its ranks. The arm-chair militarist who wants America to rule the world wearing pith helmets like the 19th century British and that believes third world countries would welcome the benevolence of American rule? That Max Boot?
I'll take an egotistical Joe Wilson any day over Max Boot. At least Mr. Wilson actually served his country and in the most backwater places in the world, even in Iraq where prior to Desert Shield he was responsible for the lives of some 800 Americans and described as a hero for his work there. Max Boot is a dangerous imperialist apologist who actually serves as a buttress of support for Mr. Wilson's credibility by merely adding his voice to the chorus of calumnious critics of Mr. Wilson.
