Bush tried, but MSM lied
"NIGERGATE"
I don't think we should adopt this particular term...

So in this case the documents were really forged but true.
If Bush had not said those 16 words, what would MSM have focused upon? I have no doubt that they would have manufactured another attack scheme.
This is exactly my thinking on the purchase of yellow cake from Niger. It is a story of deception pure and simple. Why the Main Stream Media allows this deception to continue is the other story. We have a Main Stream Media as evil as Saddam was pure and simple.
It is kept alive by one man who has been taking money from the country most implicated in the deception since he was posted to the Congo in the 1980's (when he married a spy from the above referenced government).
When will the FBI take seriously the fact that Joe Wilson is a French spy and agent-provacateur...

The question in my mind is why does Bush just stay on the ropes and take the pounding? Perhaps he should call on Helen Thomas every week in the press conference and verbally slap her around.
"To say the British Intelligence Agency did not believe Saddam was seeking to buy uranium from Niger is an outright, bold face lie Helen, and here's why."
Even the biggest lie will become the truth if you let it be told enough.
Why, do you think people will snigger at it?
What I really think is I'm gonna shut up. The rest of you may have 8 years on the site but I could vanish suddenly in a puff of pixels and hardly anybody would notice.
Saddam had attempted to procure uranium in Niger. Why? The answer is simple, the uranium that he had stockpiled in Iraq was under surveillance by the Iaea. He could not have used it in any form of nuclear program otherwise the United Nations would have caught him within no time whatsoever. Just how far he got is not the issue, the issue is that the desire was there and he was working on it.This is exactly my thinking on the purchase of yellow cake from Niger. It is a story of deception pure and simple. Why the Main Stream Media allows this deception to continue is the other story. We have a Main Stream Media as evil as Saddam was pure and simple.
We-the-people have to grow up and understand that "objective journalism" is the Wizard of Oz - it is all image and no substance other than "a man behind a curtain." The job of themanpeople behind the curtain is not to impart truth, it is to maintain the image of "The Great and Powerful Oz." Or in this case, the wise and objective media.The reason that maps to "liberalism" is quite simple - "liberalism" is simply political expression of the idea that nothing actually matters but PR.Liberal politicians say what journalists are thinking - naturally journalists approve of it. The "liberalism" of journalism is not being in the pocket of the Democrats" - it is the other way around. "Liberalism" is simply contempt for society, and the arrogation of the right to speak for society.
Joe Wilson's whipping boy. Remember how the media went ape over these "16 words"? When it turned out to be true, did they ever retract their hysterical rants? [sound of crickets]
I never thought that Saddam was all that "pure and simple".....
