Liar, Liar (July 26, 2004)
Ask yourself how many times you have heard these words in the last year, "Bush lied!". Ten times, twenty times, thirty times, maybe more then that? It has become a new liberal response to any theory about where Saddam's WMDs went. It has also been liberals response to the claim that Saddam Hussein sought uranium in Niger. But it turns out that Bush didn't lie, it was in fact Joe Wilson who did lie.

Wilson wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times shortly after the President's 2003 State of the Union Address stating that the President had lied about Saddam seeking uranium in Niger or any other part of Africa. And the media, being who they are (partisan hacks), drank it all up. News reports flashed with Wilson, the unpaid intern who went to Africa and discovered that Saddam was a loveable little teddy bear who never wanted to harm a soul.

Unfortunately for Wilson, Saddam was seeking uranium from Niger. The President's claim was backed up by a Senate report, Lord Butler's report in London, MI6, French intelligence, German intelligence, Russian intelligence, British intelligence, and a CIA report based on Wilson's initial briefing on the matter.

The Senate committee discovered that Wilson himself had learned that in 1999, Iraqi officials had showed interest in acquiring uranium from Niger. Later in 2002, French officials told the State Department that Iraq had been shopping for uranium.

But wait, what intelligence did Mr. Bush claim he received this information from in his State of the Union speech? It was British intelligence. So did that mean to Wilson that Tony Blair was a liar? What about France that also backed the claim? No, it was President Bush who was the liar. And recently a high-level investigation by the Brits concluded that Saddam had been seeking uranium not just in Niger, but also other places throughout Africa.

I was amazed at how much truth was lacking in Joe Wilson's vain memoir "The Politics of Truth". By reading only two pages you come to a lie. Wilson states again that he had found "nothing to substantiate the rumors" of Iraqi officials seeking uranium in Niger.

Wilson's hatred for President Bush was so blinding that he lied and put you and me at risk. Saddam Hussein was seeking uranium to harm his neighbors and you. Lying has become a natural disorder for liberals. This isn't like Michael Moore or Tim Robbins or any of the other Hollywood idiots. This is a man who was given a duty to report to the CIA if Saddam had been seeking uranium. And ask yourself this, what if he had gotten uranium and Wilson had lied about that? What would the world be like today? This war could have turned out drastically different.

Wilson has always been apart of the Bush Bashing Brigade (as I call them) but this time liberals and Wilson have gone to far. This time they put our lives in danger.
