Joe Wilson Is A Liar...And You Won't Hear This On The News

Joe Wilson, who spent so much time and got so much coverage in the major media oulets, is a liar, plain and simple according to The Washington Post and a bi-partisan Senate Intelligence committee.

Former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, dispatched by the CIA in February 2002 to investigate reports that Iraq sought to reconstitute its nuclear weapons program with uranium from Africa, was specifically recommended for the mission by his wife, a CIA employee, contrary to what he has said publicly.

Wilson last year launched a public firestorm with his accusations that the administration had manipulated intelligence to build a case for war. He has said that his trip to Niger should have laid to rest any notion that Iraq sought uranium there and has said his findings were ignored by the White House.

Wilson's assertions -- both about what he found in Niger and what the Bush administration did with the information -- were undermined yesterday in a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee report.

The panel found that Wilson's report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts. And contrary to Wilson's assertions and even the government's previous statements, the CIA did not tell the White House it had qualms about the reliability of the Africa intelligence that made its way into 16 fateful words in President Bush's January 2003 State of the Union address.

Yesterday's report said that whether Iraq sought to buy lightly enriched "yellowcake" uranium from Niger is one of the few bits of prewar intelligence that remains an open question. Much of the rest of the intelligence suggesting a buildup of weapons of mass destruction was unfounded, the report said.

Now when Joe Wilson had tons of fabricated things to say against the Bush White House he was a media darling, getting top billing on all news shows and evening news programs. How much time do you imagine any of these news shows or evening news programs will spend telling the public that everything they reported was lies?

The Elite Media once again shoots their own credibility in the foot by using any anti-Bush rhetoric in an attempt to discredit President Bush. When are you going to hear Tom, Peter, or Dan report that Joe Wilson fabricated information and is a "publicity seeking liar"? Never, so that is why you are getting it here.
