Former ambassador speaks on Iraq, CIA leak investigation

In a talk sponsored by the Northeastern College Democrats at Blackman Auditorium Nov. 21, Wilson laid out the story of how he had gone from being a relatively anonymous state department official to "Valerie Plame's husband," sparing few from potent verbal attacks along the way.

He was able to provide the audience with a full account of the trip to Niger he called the reason for his character assassination and, as a "side issue," his reaction to the outing of his wife's identity as a spy with the CIA. Wilson, a former ambassador to several African nations and to Baghdad during the 1991 Gulf War.

"It was a much harder road than [the Bush administration] thought it would be," he said. "Was there anyone who knew better than me? Probably not." He referred to the Iraqis as "assholes," and Saddam Hussein as a "madman."

He added he received support for this view from former President George H.W. Bush and former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft.

After he began to publicize his views, he said other pro-war policy makers engaged in character denigration, setting the backdrop by which he claimed his wife's identity was revealed. He said he was accused of being racist, among other charges, during the debate.

"My wife was the first American spy to have her identity compromised by the American government," he said.

He also had harsh words for Novak, calling him an "asshole" and a "jerk."

"When I found out , I was on the second floor of my house," he said. "If Bob Novak had been in the room, he wouldn't have been on the second floor for long."

With "diplomats" like Joe Wilson it's now wonder we're at war.

[msnimje]

In response, Novak called Wilson a "~~!!@@+%*76y__=?<}||rbfht@!X";'^_@0{@!ko_!!"

[leadpenny]

I'm sure Bob Novak is just devastated.

[randog]

Wilson's just jealous of the immunity deal Novak got. Hellhounds on your trail, Joe?

[digger48]

I wonder what the boys in Leavenworth will do with a "diplomat"?



I can hope, can't I?

[kb2614]

Joe Wilson is quite the class act.

rollseyes

[txroadkill]

"If Bob Novak had been in the room, he wouldn't have been on the second floor for long."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....Tuff Guy.

[GodfearingTexan]

Wilson is such a pathetic dweeb. I'd like to fight him.

[ncountylee]

Girly-man trying to hide behind DU language.

[fabriclady]

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

And when will Fitzgerald call Wilson before his grand jury?

Former President Nixon fired Arch. Cox, can President Bush fire Fitzgerald?

It has already been revealed that Fitzgerald did not do his job, so he should be replaced.

[headstamp]

I truly think these so called educated leftists are some of the most mentally imbalanced individuals out there in public. This guy is just too damned full of himself in all this.

"My wife was the first American spy to have her identity compromised by the American government," he said.

Stop it Joe, you're killing me!!!

[fabriclady]

"Joe Wilson is quite the class act."

I'm assuming you mean very LOW class!

[Emmett McCarthy]

Isn't Novak pretty old and in bad health? Of course, Wilson may be real tough and could even beat up Mrs. Novak, too.

[rlmorel]

Liberals are tough and big on action until the time actually arrives to be tough and take action.

This clown is no different.

[Alberta's Child]

"My wife was the first American spy to have her identity compromised by the American government," he said.

He can't even get his facts straight -- even if this allegation were true.

The CIA had one of their assets in Central America -- a Guatemalan military officer who was providing the CIA with information about narcotics and arms dealers in Guatemala -- was exposed by Congressman Robert Torricelli in 1995.

[FlingWingFlyer]

"College" DemocRATS are the only idiots out there who cares what this braindead moron has to say. Sorry Joey. Your 15 minutes are up. Time for you, Valerie and Cindy to MoveOn and get a real life.

[okie01]

This guy is just too damned full of himself in all this.

The left must view this as a positive character trait.

So many libs exhibit the condition...

[kb2614]

I forgot the "sarcasm" warning label. Sorry ;-) .

[Rocky]

Wilson is such a blowhard. When will the press stop repeating his rubbish?

[B Knotts]

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's being called an &#8220;.

[GregoTX]

Wilson says a$$***e three times and look who appears like Bettleguise.

[VeniVidiVici]

And he got paid how much for this?

[JennysCool]

[AGreatPer]

Wilson, did he sing with the Beach Boys? I never heard of Joe Wilson.

[billhilly]

"In response, Novak called Wilson a "~~!!@@+%*76y__=?<}||rbfht@!X";'^_@0{@!ko_!!"


Well, at least he got that right. As a form of punishment, maybe Novak can be presented the first annual Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame/ Cindy Sheehan "~~!!@@+%*76y__=?<}||rbfht@!X";'^_@0{@!ko_!!" award.

Anti-Wilson, Anti-Plame Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!

Can someone photoshop that to read
"Spies like us" (but nobody else does)

or, better still

"Moles like us"

Cheers!

[Colonel_Flagg]

He also had harsh words for Novak

We only need one word to describe Wilson. "Liar."

[claudiustg]

Just another cheap suit.

[pankot]

Wilson is a weenie and Democratic operative helping to set W up.

[clintonh8r]

All the DUmbass guys think Joe is hot.

[txroadkill]

I think Novak could take him...$50 on the old fat guy from CNN!

Remember when he almost kicked James Carville's ass on CNN's Inside Politics. That was cool!

[Prime Choice]

Eat Yellowcake, Herr Wilson.

[Mike Darancette]

"When I found out [about the unveiling], I was on the second floor of my house," he said. "If Bob Novak had been in the room, he wouldn't have been on the second floor for long."

What a man Wilson is, isn't Novak about 75 or over?

[Jay Howard Smith]

a relatively anonymous state department official

Ambassador to Gabon whose Head of State is a guy named Bongo. Im impressed..!

[GreatOne]

Pot, meet kettle.

What a dumbass.

[MilleniumBug]

"And when will Fitzgerald call Wilson before his grand jury?
Former President Nixon fired Arch. Cox, can President Bush fire Fitzgerald?
It has already been revealed that Fitzgerald did not do his job, so he should be replaced."

I don't think anyone, even Fitz Magoo, wants to hear from Joe. He's pretty well pegged as a blowhard moron. Bush could have failed to reappoint Fitz last month but he missed the opportunity. Apparently they want Fizt to flounder around and then blame him later for failing to get to first base on the leaks. It's pretty obvious to everyone but Fitz that the leaks come from CIA and Foggy Bottom as well a notorious former pentagon intelligence analyst who spies on CIA flights and is now a "human rights" activist.

[syriacus]

Joe Wilson's gone blankity mad.
Hot anger pours out of the cad.
Playing juvenile games,
He calls Novak names.
His joi d'vivre's gone. It's so sad.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

He referred to the Iraqis as "assholes," and Saddam Hussein as a "madman."

Probably the only truthful thing to leave Joe Wilson's mouth this year.

[syriacus]

LOL!

[boatbums]

Can someone explain to me how having his wife's so-called covert status revealed was a way to get back at him for his negative comments on the war?

I mean, really, that has been his main whine since the Novak article came out and I have yet to read WHY having her identity exposed was such a terrible thing to do to him.

If she was really covert (which no one is still saying anymore) and serving in another country, that revelation could have meant her death. I get that. But she was driving to work at Langley every day, her picture along with his was on the cover of a major magazine and, according to what I've read, a lot of people knew who she was and where she worked.

You would think if "they" were really out to punish him, they could have thought of something that would have really hurt. No?

[RichInOC]

...and Novak very well may be, but getting it right once still wouldn't make Joe Wilson an honest man, would it?

[Walkingfeather]

When I found out , I was on the second floor of my house," he said. "If Bob Novak had been in the room, he wouldn't have been on the second floor for long."

me thinks he protesteth TOO MUCH.

[A CA Guy]

If Wilson or Plame were once brought under oath, I wonder how public they would continue to be?

[jonrick46]

If Joe Boy uses the same words for the boys in Leavenworth as he did for Bob Novak, he would wish it was only a trip down from the second floor. As it stands now, he is going to have hell to pay with his phony charge that his wife was outed by the Bush Administration. It's a matter of time before the facts find that it was Joe Boy himself that outed his own wife to build credibility for himself with Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times in early May 2003, at least a month before the leak to Woodward.

So, Joe Boy, stick that where the sun don't shine. Your day in the sun is a coming!

[MilleniumBug]

More than likely the CIA realized that they coudn't have an agent married to a big mouth like Joe Wilson. So they set him up for a mint tea vacation in Niger knowing that Valerie and Joe would soon be history. And, they set him up for his real punishment -- knowing that he couldn't resist any opportunity to put his foot in his mouth he is forced to speak publicly every week looking more and more like the fool he is.

[Chode]

hey joe... you kiss your #u&t wife with that mouth???

[cubreporter]

Tough talk Joey...dont ya love how they get violent when mad? He's a loser.
