Der Duchess is having paroxsyms of joy over a statement by Joe Wilson:
WILSON: I never claimed to have "debunked" the allegation that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa.
I fully expect to see Andrew go sub-orbital with joy over that...
When he returns to Terra Firma, someone will still be criminally liable for releasing Valerie Plame's name to Novakula to "punish" Wilson for not being a good little lap-dog. He seems to either forget or not care that a crime was committed by a member of the 1600 Crew. Just another case of Moral Relativism at work, officer, nothing to see here...move on.

It seems to be forgotten that the only claim that Joe Wilson ever made was that a specific deal for Iraq to purchase 400 tons of yellowcake uranium from Niger was bogus. Wilson's job was to look at that single claim.
That claim is still bogus as the White House, CIA, and everyone else acknowledges. The "16 words" still shouldn't have been in the SOTU address.
The Brits may have other information about other deals, but the Niger claim was garbage.

Wilson is the bait and switch. It's time to go to war with Iran once the draft adds new soldiers. That is what DC wants of it. The people Plame lost that took decades to develop(Johnson, Berg) will never be replaced.
Or will we just help Taiwan since they would need a Star Wars program to stay free and threaten Chinese shipping lanes as well for global economies? Not yet, their country holds too much of our debt. It would be an easy way to cancel it... never pay up just declare war.
Or North Korea with rev. Moon's paper being a war rag?
So many great options.
