Mike, do you have the timeline for the Wilson fiasco? Seems to me that the Wilson thing broke on or about this date, along with the Kelly/BBC thing in Britain.

Reality Check: Anti-Bush Ad

Jul 30, 2003 5:51 pm US/Central (WCCO-TV) National Democrats are test marketing a controversial political ad in Madison, Wisconsin...the capitol city of a battleground state.

"In his State Of The Union Address, George W. Bush told us of an imminent threat. 'Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa,'" says the commercial.

Damn, nothing I like better than finding a smoking gun...

So we have DNC friendly columnists setting off a barrage of columns in mid-to-late July, claiming that Bush stated that the threat was imminent. And the DNC then ran a commercial claiming that Bush said the threat was imminent.

Yep, they were laying the ground here to shift the debate away from Kay's findings. They had to have known that he was findign weapons programs but not weapons, and had to make it seem that Bush claimed that the threat was imminent.
