At the time, the "story" was whether Iraq's nuclear program posed a threat to us. Wilson came back from Niger and said that it didn't.

Bullfuckingshit. Wilson went there to determine if the claims of Iraq trying to purchase Uranium from Niger was credible. Nothing more, nothing less.

Now, the "story" is whether there is any credible excuse for the White House's effort to mislead people in the State of the Union address.

I say effort to mislead because we now know that the attribution of intel to the British was done to cover the fact that the CIA didn't think it was any good, and had previously told the White House that the President shouldn't address the issue.

Why won't you digest page 66 [for the 3rd time] and admit that the CIA had the speech and cleared it????

Though no one in the White House could know what England's sources were, they refered to those findings because they were trying to muster a case for war.

Wilson's findings only look like "misdirection" because he failed to anticipate that by this point we would all accept that Iraq's nuclear program was no threat to us, and that the only question left would be just how hard the White House was working back then to snow everyone.

You claim that my views are saturated by reading Sullivan. This ridiculous statement shows you've swallowed Marshall's pill.
