"led to him" being sent to Niger. Those are key words. Cheney's request that the CIA look into the Niger / yellowcake issue DID 'lead to' the CIA, at a operational level, sending Wilson to Niger. That is not disputed. What is disputed is whether Wilson said Cheney sent him. The RNC says yes.

No they don't. Where in this article do they say that? Here's the quote:

1.) Wilson Insisted That The Vice President’s OFFICE Sent Him To Niger: Wilson Said He Traveled To Niger At CIA Request To Help PROVIDE RESPONSE To Vice President’s OFFICE. “In February 2002, I was informed by officials at the Central Intelligence Agency that Vice President Dick Cheney’s office had questions about a particular intelligence report. … The agency officials asked if I would travel to Niger to check out the story so they could provide A RESPONSE TO to the vice president’s OFFICE.” (Joseph C. Wilson, Op-Ed, “What I Didn’t Find In Africa,” The New York Times, 7/6/03)

You're attacking the RNC for supposedly being dishonest; where have they been dishonest? Show the specific quotes, please.

Oh - now I see your hypertechnical point. You are correct. They claim Wilson said Cheney's OFFICE sent him.

The problem with your point is that Wilson didn't say that, either. He consistently said that the CIA, at an operational level, sent him.

So, the quote you posted is still the lie.

"Wilson Insisted That The Vice President’s Office Sent Him To Niger"

There's the quote you wanted. I'd love to see your quote where Wilson says this. But I won't. Because he didn't.
