I'm also waiting for the Washington post to point out that this undermines a key tenet of the "Bush lied" crowd (that the State of the Union speech Iraq-uranium link was all made up). Joe Wilson was lying,there really were inquiries by Hussein, so it wasn't made up by POTUS after all ...guess I may have to wait for a while. I hope the administration does some of this for them, and repeatedly. The repetition by the media of misinformation, as has been done in this case, can NOT be undone by a single press conference or a couple of speeches, nor just by bloggers and radio hosts. (The people they reach already knew this). It needs to be laid out repeatedly so that Joe Sixpack hears it. But I'm afraid that the Bush administration seems to not recognize this.
The indictment of the left by Cheney, Bush and Rummy these last few days has been devastating. The administration knows that timing is key. I don't have a problem with how the administration is handling this. My problem is that the Senate demonrats have been spouting off non-stop, and the GOP congresscritters don't fight back. The administration should not be bogged down with answering the shrieks from the Pelosi's of the world. That is the job of her GOP colleagues in the congress.
Your wait is over. A careful read of this Washington Post editorial contains this:
"Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials."
