Just heard Larry the Loon on Drudge. Let's see.Wilson was proven to be a liar, he didn't investigate the niger claim and gave a false report. Richard Clark was exposed as a liar before the 911 commission. It doesn't seem to have any effect on their credibility with the msm so I guess if Larry is lying it will have no effect on his career.

The Italian document may have been forged but saddam was trying to buy uranium from niger, where he had gotten it before. BTW does anyone know why iraq was trying to buy uranium? They had plenty at al-tuwaitha and a mine near the syrian border. I had heard that what niger had access to was more highly enriched.

Nope, The Uranium Oxide that was in Iraq was sealed and tagged by the UN. Saddam was allowing the U.N. to monitor that stock pile, they even had camera's on that site. The fact of the matter is, the Italian document you are speaking about was never considered "Legitimate". That document was placed into the written report to the U.N. as part of the record of the presentation Colin Powell made to the U.N.

That document was never cited and the Brit's have never backed away from their claim. That document was purchased by our Embassy in Italy for $200.00 and was written off as a fake from day one. I believe that the Joe Wilson trip was arranged by whoever put that bogus document into the report given to the U.N. in order to damage the Bush Administration. Keep in mind, the U.N. was neck deep in the Oil for Food scandal, and nobody can convince me that the State Department didn't know about it. I believe Joe Wilson knew it as well, and his wife was conveniently working for the Non Proliferation Dept of the CIA.

I truly believe that the UN's Oil For Food scandal and those on the take in our State Department were doing everything they could to deflect away from the real criminals

Not to mention the forged documents were given to our embassy in Rome in October, 2002---8 months AFTER Wilson's trip. Our CIA headquarters didn't come into possession of the forgeries until February 2003---AFTER the President's SOTU and the "sixteen words". Wilson's deliberate attempt to link the forgeries to his trip and "findings" is another suspicious circumstance.
