Inquiring minds want to know.
Why aren't Republicans holding press conferences to get that information out there? Every other day, we're seeing DemocRATs on TV, in the front pages of newspapers, posting on internet blogs flaming away at Bush/Rove. Telling lie after lie without being called on them by Republicans. It's getting very tiresome.
Whoa! That sure wraps that story up in a nice neat package. But will anybody ever read it?
If you believe that the MSM will give the Republican response the same amount of time and discussion, I have some desert acreage I'd like to sell you. :-)
This is a MSM dog and pony show for the Democrats.
All the AP reports I read neglect all the Wilson dissembling and Dem complicity in their Get-Rove! scam. Wilson is obviously a liar and a Dem operative. Typically the major lib rags and news services refuse to print anything negative about a Dem stooge.
A Kerry campaign adviser used his wife's position in the CIA to circumvent George Tenet and secure himself a CIA information gathering mission on Iraq nuclear development.
Upon returning to the US, Wilson lied about the intel and covered up the facts in order to damage Bush's Presidential campaign. His lies were exposed by British Intelligence and a Congressional investigation.
They just held one, and part of it was shown on CNN.
Novak is hedging his words here. The Niger story is true, and there was never any doubt that it was true. Iraq's trade mission to Niger is and was public knowledge.
Why Bush buttressed his argument by referring to British intelligence is a mystery to me, because it was unnecessary. The Iraqi mission to Niger is in the public domain.
What wasn't then in the public domain, which we now know, is that France and Niger were selling uranium to Libya. Iraq "sought" uranium, just as Bush said, but Niger and the French actually delivered on sales to Khadaffi. Keep this in mind when you remember back to Wilson's hysterical attacks on Bush, and similarly hysterical attacks by the Democrats, and similarly hysterical attacks by the DNC's operatives in the press.
Remember the "forged" documents that the French passed to the CIA and then exposed, to make Bush look like a liar; we now know that French intel commissioned the documents and the Niger embassy produced them. Everyone who has been involved in covering up Niger's uranium contraband operation has been exposed as a liar.
Do you suppose that this will make the news on CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC?
This is a sore spot for me. The Repubs basically own DC right now. Why do they continue to act as if they're in the minority???
I would say that it is their job to do in the "Two-Party Cartel". Anything to keep the conservative agenda from getting in the way of the elites that run the whole show.
What is happening right now is alot of Democrat operatives are making alot of money from their base. This is nothing more than the Democrats playbook of the Vietnam/Watergate template as Rush would say.
Nothing will come of this then they will try something else. We have 3 more years of this folks.
good one!
the other missing part is that the forged documents were planted there to discredit what was otherwise a true story - iraq did try to buy yellowcake from Niger. but unfortunately, the white house backed off too quickly on it, and that part of the story evaporated.
And another Kerry advisor shoved classified documents down his pants.
How do we know the French were the authors? Do you have a cite, svp?
indeed, that is also what I have heard - that is was the French who planted the forged documents to cover up the story that would have shown them as the middleman between iraq and niger.
of course it won't make the MSM - but the sad part is that the administration also seems to have given up on this part of the story.
when it was happening, John Loftus on the Batchelor radio show was saying it almost immediately - that it was the French who planted the forged documents as a poison pill to discredit the Niger claim. that is where I heard it.
Sorry I asked. Here's a link to the Telegraph.
