Joe Wilson's Whoppers
This is from the LA Times. Has the entire left forgotten everything they and their president said on this subject from the 1990's to 2003? Saddam duped us all:
Making the best of a weak hand, Democrats argued that the case was not about petty-ante perjury but, as Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid put it, "about how the Bush White House manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to bolster its case for the war in Iraq and to discredit anyone who dared to challenge the president." The problem here is that the one undisputed liar in this whole sordid affair doesn't work for the administration. In his attempts to turn his wife into an antiwar martyr, Joseph C. Wilson IV has retailed more whoppers than Burger King.
...So much for the lies that led to war. What we're left with is the lies that led to the antiwar movement. Good thing for Wilson and his pals that deceiving the press and the public isn't a crime.
If anyone's to blame for getting us into war its the old media. Not since the Spanish-American War has there been such a media blitz on the need to depose a tyrant. Just replace the King of Spain with Saddam.
