A big question has been 'why would the British government not share the other intelligence about Niger'? Jack Straw stood by the British intelligence, saying there was more than just the documents that Wilson claims to be fake (though Wilson never saw them).

We now know why. French secret service 'kept CIA in the dark over Iraq and uranium':

"The French secret service is believed to have refused to allow MI6 to give the Americans 'credible' intelligence showing that Iraq was trying to buy uranium ore from Niger, US intelligence sources said yesterday.

MI6 had more than one 'different and credible' piece of intelligence to show that Iraq was attempting to buy the ore, known as yellowcake, British officials insisted. But it was given to them by at least one and possibly two intelligence services and, under the rules governing cooperation, it could not be shared with anyone else without the originator's permission.

US intelligence sources believe that the most likely source of the MI6 intelligence was the French secret service, the DGSE. Niger is a former French colony and its uranium mines are run by a French company that comes under the control of the French Atomic Energy Commission."

As I said in the blog entry linked above (click Straw's name): What did the Clinton's know, and when did they know it?

Remember this:

"France's first lady expressed her support for a presidential run by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, saying that such a candidacy would be an inspiration to women worldwide."
Folks, there really is a Watergate style scandal coming. But it is not going to be about the administration. It is going to be about the Democrats.

And to think, Chirac's wife is throwing her support behind Hillary! The weasels stick together, come hell or high water, don't they?

I have thought this for some time. Clinton spent a great deal of time in the run-up to the Iraqi war gadding about Europe, hobnobbing with Chirac and meeting with people in Belgium. I note also that right before Chretien of Canada let loose with his last round of insults about President Bush, he was meeting with Bill and Hillary Clinton in the Dominican Republic.

My hope is that the Secret Service reports this stuff to Secretary Snow, who briefs the appropriate people.

France and Germany have allied with Iraq vs America and Britain. The Democrats have formally aligned themselves with the French/German/Iraqi axis against America. How much more anti-American can you get?

It will be interesting to see this unfold. P.S. I love the coin flipping blog.

And Clinton is going to be summond to testify about the knowledge he had concerning Iraq and Bin Ladin in the 9/11 investigation.
Pssst! His words about what he felt during HIS presidency are on record. Every word he spoke about why he felt he had to bomb the asprin factory and Iraq.
What did HE know, and when did he know it, aye?
With Gods help, this will come back to bite the Democrat attackers right in the as.......

I think you are right -- would guess we are going to see the Administration take the offensive shortly and run up the score on the Clinton RATS! I want the Clintons leveled because I believe they are behind this recent attacks on the President over Niger!

So, Bush apologized when he didn't have to? The Brits had more intel than they told us? And (what's new) the French were being duplicitous? But some new poll says that in one obscure category Bush's rating went down a little bit? My head hurts.
