Yet Wilson is not objective. He\u2019s an anti-Bush member of the pro-Saudi Middle East Institute, which wanted to end the no-fly zones allowing Saddam to slaughter the Kurds and Shiites &#8211; and it was known his wife worked for the CIA!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/democrats_salivate_over_wilson_leak_.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"325\" class=\"alignright\"\/> Wilson had no credentials as an investigator. May: &#8216;As Mr. Wilson himself acknowledged, his so-called investigation was nothing more than &#8216;eight days drinking sweet mint tea and meeting with dozens of people.&#8221; So when the New York Times gave Wilson a job investigating whether Saddam tried to buy uranium in Africa, the question of him getting that job based on his wife\u2019s connections became newsworthy. To illustrate Wilson\u2019s lack of knowledge, May points out that Wilson today claims he opposed the end of Saddam\u2019s regime because he didn\u2019t think he had WMD. Yet prior to the liberation he darkly warned ABC that he feared Saddam could &#8216;use a biological weapon in a battle.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Wilson wrote the Times op-ed saying that the claim, which Bush never made, that Saddam bought yellowcake from Niger was &#8216;highly unlikely.\u2019 That isn\u2019t the same as saying it never happened or that Saddam didn\u2019t try, which was the charge. If a maniac like him took a shot at getting uranium, it\u2019s a major red flag. There was no reason to apologize for the 16 words in which President Bush said UK intelligence (which the Brits stand by to this day) showed that Saddam had &#8216;tried to buy uranium from Africa.\u2019 Appeasing the left by apologizing has helped turn this molehill into a mountain with Democrats calling for an independent council. <\/p>\n<p>Whatever the left says about Bob Novak, they never question his journalistic integrity so they\u2019re all over this. Note two things: Novak put this information in print way back on July 14th, and he opposed the liberation of Iraq. Despite the previously manufactured charge that this White House is &#8216;secretive,\u2019 nothing in this administration\u2019s performance indicates it hides anything. (That Cheney task force\/GAO lawsuit? It violated separation of powers and never had a chance.) In short, the Democrats know they can\u2019t beat Bush on issues at the ballot box, so they\u2019re going to try to manufacture a scandal among his aides. The key difference to Clinton &#8211; as EIB Legal Advisor F. Lee Levin points out in his own NRO column &#8211; is that nobody is alleging any wrongdoing on the part of President Bush in this matter. With Clinton, all the wrongdoing pointed straight to the top.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/democrats_salivate_over_wilson_leak_.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You must read former New York Times foreign correspondent Clifford D.
