The real investigation should be why the CIA thought such a clearly political, partisan and unqualified person should be sent to Africa to resolve this sensitive issue.Badabump!

The same media leftists and gimmies that are SO apoplectic about this TRUE statement (READ IT!) made in the SOTU address are the same simpletons that want to know WHY bits and pieces of intelligence were NOT put together from ANY source, despite it's reliabiltity, to paint the mosaic to PREDICT 911. Politics.......a game for the ages!
I did some research yesterday on Wilson....guess who was named CinC U.S. Armed Forces Europe in 1997??
Wesley Clark.
Then who do I see commenting on the uranium story yesterday.....Wesley Clark.
Clark is in up to his eyeballs in this uranium story..
Straw defends UK dossier uranium claims
Excerpt:
"First, press reporting has claimed that this statement is contradicted by the report of a US envoy, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who visited Niger in early 2002 to investigate the subject on behalf of the CIA. I want to make clear that neither I nor, to the best of my knowledge, any UK officials were aware of Ambassador Wilson's visit until reference first appeared in the press, shortly before your hearings last month. In response to our questions, the US authorities have confirmed that Ambassador Wilson's report was not shared with the UK.
"We have now seen a detailed account of Ambassador Wilson's report. It does indeed describe the denials of Niger government officials in early 2002 that a contract had been concluded for the sale of yellowcake to Iraq. But, as CNN have reported, Ambassador Wilson's report also noted that in 1999 an Iraqi delegation sought the expansion of trade links with Niger - and that former Niger government officials believed that this was in connection with the procurement of yellowcake.
"Uranium is Niger's main export. In other words, this element of Ambassador Wilson's report supports the statement in the Government's dossier.
Exactly. These people are such double-talking hypocrites.
I expect this will go the way of the anti-Bush hysteria over arsenic in the water, his supposed Enron connections, accusations that Bush "KNEW" about 9-11 ahead of time etc etc etc.
The Dems are so desperate for ANYTHING to bring Bush down they keep making total fools out of themselves.
