I heard it too. It was on WABC-AM 77O in NYC at 5PM. I made a comment here.
Check the links from Yahoo and Google News in comment# 1.

Ta Daaa !

Well I guess that would have to apply to our inept Commander In Chief who apparently doesn't have a clue on how to fight a propaganda war.
"Now, look, I didntpart of the reason we went into Iraq wasthe main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didnt, but he had the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction. But I also talked about the human suffering in Iraq, and I also talked the need to advance a freedom agenda. And so my questionmy answer to your question is, is thatimagine a world in which Saddam Hussein was there, stirring up even more trouble in a part of the world that had so much resentment and so much hatred that people came and killed 3,000 of our citizens".
If he wasn't half retarded he would have never said anything remotely like "It turns out they didn't".
The only reason the media have been able to get away with this is because the the administration comes to the propaganda war unarmed.
How do you know that and can you prove it?
I'd be very interested to know what the Strategerist's opinion is of why Ambassador Zawahi, Iraq's representative on nuclear issues (VERY passionate arguing for Iraq's nuclear armament at the 1995 NPT Conference), went to Niger on what the IAEA called a trade mission?
Looking at Niger's only significant exports, was Zawahi looking for:
A. Cowpeas?
B. Peanuts?
C. Goatskins?
D. Uranium?
I wonder why the Strategerist believes it was probably A, B, or C?
..or why would the IAEA lie about this?
The IAEA was concerned enough that they investigated and interviewed Zawahi about the trip, though at the insistence of the Iraqi government, the interview was monitored by Saddam's agents.
Yellow Cake. Ummm. http://www.kckpl.lib.ks.us/YS/IMAGES/IMG_3729resize.JPG
Exactly. The MSM and their left-wing blowhards continuously said this was a fools errand and that the mission to NIGER, WHICH WILSON SCRWED-UP, found nothing. Not to mention it was stupid to even try.
Funny then nobody (press or Democrats) mentions the Nigerian yellowcake already in country.
And if I remember correctly, when our troops got to Tuwaitha, they found some barrels of (can't remember what) but no nuclear material.

LA & NY Times & WaPo are using the AP story.
BUMP
Smiling at you...not surprising.
Soon as Barak gets in office, the news on Iraq will get very positive.
Remember when Bill Clinton took office, about a month in he said something to the effect they “just discovered” a revenue shortfall and had to raise taxes. They’ll pull the same shenanigans regarding Iraq, and I wouldn’t be surprised, Iran.
There is no hoopdedoo, except perhaps Neocons' last hurrah, trying to resurrect their failed big-government ideology once again, using warmed-over minor stories.
[... Liberals are too expensive to keep. They are
a pox upon any free nations very life...]
Can we start by getting rid of Wilson and Plame?
Let me repeat the unanswered question:

...Perhaps the Iraqi's nuke guy was hoping to export fine oil paintings of The Great Hussein to penniless Nigerien goatherders?
What kind of control did the UN have after UNSCOM inspectors were removed from Iraq in 1998?
I don't know. That's an excellent question. Here again is a link to yesterday's thread on the subject. Some people there seemed to know quite a bit about it:
