| It Must Suck Being Joe Wilson Today

It's a bummer when the truth bubbles to the surface...
Do you remember when Valerie Plame sent her husband Joe Wilson to Niger?
Although she denied it several times, Plame did indeed come up with the idea that her husband would be an ideal candidate to sort out the Niger/Iraq uranium sale question.
In fact, here's a copy of the memo--
An unclassified government document, the Carl Ford Jr. memo had this to say about sending Joe Wilson to Niger:
Here's a closeup of the document...
And, here's the transcript from the memo:
Notes: Niger/Iraq uranium meeting CIA 2/19/02
Meeting apparently convened by Valerie Wilson, a CIA WMD managerial type and the wife of Amb. Joe Wilson, with the idea that the agency and the larger USG could dispatch Joe to Niger to use his contacts there to sort out the Niger/Iraq uranium sale question. Joe went to Niger in late 1999 in regard to Niger's uranium program, apparently with CIA support.
Valerie Plame sent Joe.
A month before Robert Novak wrote his column, Ambassador Joseph Wilson spoke out against the Bush Administration and Israel at the Far-Left 2003 IRAQ FORUM Conference.
The audio is still posted HERE (40:38 in duration)

In his speech, Ambassador Joseph Wilson described himself as the investigator sent to Niger by the government and says the government sent him there and not the CIA (a lie). Wilson said there was nothing to the uranium story (another lie), described the US as "occupiers" of Iraq (a shocking statement at the time), and described a conspiracy to help Israel dominate the Palestinians.
Joe Wilson repeated the lie for several years that the Iraq was not seeking uranium from Niger even though five days after Wilson's NYT op-ed, George Tenet put out a statement describing how the person the CIA sent to check out the Niger story (Joe Wilson) found that the Iraqis had indeed tried to open up trade talks, which were interpretted by government officials in Niger as an attempt to purchase uranium ore.
And, then there is this news from yesterday...
The AP reported that the last load of Saddam's uranium was shipped to Canada:
The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program - a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium - reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.
The removal of 550 metric tons of “yellowcake” - the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment - was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam’s nuclear legacy.
It's a bummer about all of that yellow cake.

| Why did the UN leave the 'yellowcake' in Iraq for years?
Saddam had a nuclear weapons program, and it is well documented - by Iraqis who worked for him - that he intended to reconstitute the program.
'Yellowcake', which is nuclear material that has gone through first processing, has no purpose other than to be further refined. | | | | Philadelphian | | Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2008 11:33 pm Post subject: |

| Cowboy,
please pass this video on to others
You are spreading lies Cowboy, do you care?
The UN had it under seal, it was NOT hidden. The UN was taking care of it, Bush screwed everything up.
US removes Uranium from Iraq, not what many assume see video http://tinyurl.com/6zdq3w | | | | Cowboy | | Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:00 am Post subject: |

Taking care of it.
For years.
Not removing it.
Why?
What purpose did it serve in Iraq other than to be processed later?
Saddam had a nuclear weapons program that he wanted to reconstitute. | | | | Jefferson Davis | | Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2008 6:19 am Post subject: |

Based on what? Your neocon opinions and fear mongering? Show us the link(s) that confirm this nonsense. When did Saddam/Iraq ever attempt to "reconstitute" such materials after GW1?
"What purpose did it serve in Iraq other than to be processed later?"
Perhaps you didn't read or refuse to accept the lengthy, complicated, expensive, time consuming removal and processing the US and Iraq undertook to remove the pre-GW1 'yellowcake' to Canada recently? Do you have any idea what the US alone requires in transporting nuclear material interstate is in the US?
You are totally unbelievable. | | | | Cowboy | | Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 11:18 pm Post subject: |

The UN had 12 years, and did absolutely nothing.

Iraq has an international seaport. No need to transport across any US states or anybody else's country. | | | | Chui | | Posted: Fri Jul 18, 2008 1:47 am Post subject: |
