MEET JOE LIAR!

NEW YORK - This writer went to some detail long ago to point out the very specific nature of why it was reasonable to doubt the trust-worthiness of one Joseph Wilson. But two things have hit him hard in recent days.
1)The British government's independent investigation into the Iraq/Africa uranium connection confirmed President Bush's claims on Iraq seeking nuclear material.
2) The bi-partisan 9/11 Commission's report pointed out Wilson's dishonesty about the assessment of the information in Niger, but also his lies about how he achieved the post in the first place.
The Washington Post reported that Joseph Wilson, according to the 9/11 Commission report findings WAS recommended for the job by his wife - CIA employee Valerie Plame. Wilson had denied any such connection and asked all to believe that the CIA had simply spontaneously desired Wilson to be assigned the Niger fact finding mission.
According to the Washington Post: "The report states that a CIA official told the Senate committee that Plame "offered up" Wilson's name for the Niger trip, then on Feb. 12, 2002, sent a memo to a deputy chief in the CIA's Directorate of Operations saying her husband "has good relations with both the PM [prime minister] and the former Minister of Mines (not to mention lots of French contacts), both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity." The next day, the operations official cabled an overseas officer seeking concurrence with the idea of sending Wilson, the report said.
Wilson has asserted that his wife was not involved in the decision to send him to Niger."
After Wilson returned he shopped himself similar to a cheap woman of the night to the network television networks in order to criticize the President's State of the Union Address.
Wilson asserted that in President Bush's address when the President referred to the Iraqi regime attempting to purchase "uranium from Africa", that Bush was referring exclusively to Wilson's fact finding mission. The President did not refer to Wilson or to Niger directly in the text of his speech.
The appearance that was left on the American public was one of dishonesty - but it was dishonesty of Wilson - NOT BUSH.
Multiple African nations have since reported attempts from the Iraqi regime to seek uranium. Last week the British investigation into the Niger case specifically led the investigators to reiterate the British position (from which they had never waivered) - Saddam DID try to buy uranium from Niger. The 9/11 report casts significant doubt over ALL of Wilson's "findings" in Niger.
Joe Wilson wrote that his trip to Niger had basically consisted of meeting with Niger officials and drinking lots of mint juleps.
He should help himself to another...dishonest people do need their vices to keep them distracted from the actual facts of such matters...

Diplomat at Eye of Storm (Joseph Wilson)
He also supports efforts by the antiwar organization Moveon.org to put conditions on spending in Iraq by the Bush administration -- among them, the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and others.
I can't wait to see this story in my local newspaper tomorrow. And on all the major news channels. On second thought, I'd better not hold my breath.
And do you think any of this will be "HeadLine News" in tomorrows papers??????
I HIGHLY doubt it...
Thanks to the Freepers for keeping us up to date on the truth!!!!!!!!
Don't hold your water either.
I can quite imagine that while he was sipping his mint juleps he couldn't help but brag how his CIA wife was helpful with her "connections" in getting him get the job.
Does this also makes his bogus claim of leaking his wife's name untrue? If so - then this whole investigation issue is also bogus, and he should reimburse the Government for all the costs involved, and APOLOGIZE to President Bush and the American people?
I don't think that CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, AP, Reuters, MSNBC, The Washington ComPost, or the New York Times are about to report this embarrassing news.
They will merely move on to their next lie.
President Washington would have hung Wilson to prove an important point.
Wilson always looked like an unbelievable egotistical, self-aggrandizing, INCOMPETENT!!!, liar to me. Of course libs are so blinded by their hatred of Bush that they'll eagerly swallow the hokum of any fellow-traveler. Pathetic. Naturally there will be large retractions and admissions of erroneous judgements by Big Media about this. (/sarcasm)
Ping!
I blame the republicans they're like scared mice afraid to speak out.Republicans get this out on the major networks!!!!
Republicans should demand this be out along with everything else they hid in order to make Kerry look good and Bush look bad.
Good luck trying to get the rest of the media to cover this.
Here is an earlier thread on this subject:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1168703/posts
Note that Wilson also went on a CIA trip in 1999 after being recommended by his wife.
No, Washington would have imposed the ultimate penalty and insult:
He would have placed a pair of women's panties on Wilson's head for telling a lie.
With a sign pinned to his butt: "Liar, liar, pants on fire."
I've disliked Mr Wilson ever since he was mean to that little Dennis Mitchell kid.....
If and when anybody ever gets to the bottom of who leaked Plames name , it is going to be her husband.
How was it Wilson wanted to see Karl Rove? Something about shackled and "duck-walked" out of the White House? Looks more like Wilson is the one who needs to be shackled and duck-walked into Federal court.
Quack!
You're right of course. But no one is reporting who Joe Wilson is working for now. He has an independent consulting firm, brokering gold for what country? Niger. Very convenient to be working for the country you gave a clean bill of health to (falsely).
Of course this is being reported on every story involving Joe Wilson.

It's a tribute to the power of the Leftwing media that were able to completely manufacture this "scandal", keep it going and feed it without ever once dealing with the actual subject of Novak's article discrediting Joe Wilson. That's control.
Some how I don't think I will see this on page one of the Chicago Tribune.
Funny, I didn't hear Sen. Roberts mention this on FoxNews Sunday, when Rat Rockefeller was talking about all the pressure the Bush Administration had put on the poor CIA analysts.
Where the hell do we find these Republican eunuchs?!
Wow. Gee. Golly whillickers. I am so surprised.
NOT!!!!!!
You really like putting quotation marks around non-quotes, don't you?
Mint tea, not mint juleps. Nigeria is a Sunni Muslim country. And it's a bit different for someone to be drinking tea on the job or drinking alcohol. Do you even care about facts? Oh, that's right, you're on talk radio.

Thanks. I stand corrected.
Ribbitt!
My dad always told me to never call anyone an A$$HOLE because an a$$hole provides a very necessary and useful function!
Robert Novak OWES his readers a column on this.
You really think the press is gonna pull that nail oughta old George after they hammered him with it for so long?? Now we have Fahrenheit 911 smearing him with outrageous lies in theatres "near you", around the country and people paying to see the mess.
The press and the Democrats are not about truth, only power, and any lie and distortion that aids their cause is welcomed until it's eventual proven false. Then they just grab another lie line and ride off again screaching and screaming through their media wind tunnels.
I'll give the Washington Post some credit for printing this:
According to the Washington Post: "The report states that a CIA official told the Senate committee that Plame "offered up" Wilson's name for the Niger trip, then on Feb. 12, 2002, sent a memo to a deputy chief in the CIA's Directorate of Operations saying her husband "has good relations with both the PM [prime minister] and the former Minister of Mines (not to mention lots of French contacts), both of whom could possibly shed light on this sort of activity." The next day, the operations official cabled an overseas officer seeking concurrence with the idea of sending Wilson, the report said.
It's Niger, not Nigeria.
maybe his wife thought he was such an ineffectual a**hole that he couldn't get jobs without her pulling strings behind his back (when he announced being approached, maybe she said, "oh that's nice, honey")...
maybe he didn't know SHE got him referred, and she went along with it, thinking he would be happy and feel important, now...
heh-heh...
so bill HER for the whole investigation!
You're right. Nigeria is split Muslim-Christian, but Niger is Muslim.
one of several threads on the topic, just pingin' us.
bttt
This individual was paraded all over television and given prominent stories in every major newspaper and given a soapbox to attack the President with his lies. Now the press likely won't even give 10% the amount of coverage to the truth that they had given to the lies.
bttt
Washington low level rumor mill has it that investigation has tracked source of some individuals knowledge of wife's occupation back to her and Wilson... no surprise
It's all the usual BS that comes with Democrat-manufactured scandals.
You're welcome.
Pass the flies, please.
