So Much For Podhoretz

From a July 10, 2004 NY Post op-ed by John Podhoretz:

Let me cite the most dramatic example I’ve found so far in this lengthy report. In July 2003, former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson claimed he had proof that the administration ignored anti-WMD information because he had gone to Niger for the CIA and reported back that there was no evidence Iraq had obtained uranium there.

The White House knew of his mission, Wilson said, and therefore had trumped up charges about Iraq’s nuclear program. This was the first source of the “BUSH LIED” trope that has become a staple of the Left over the past year.

The Senate report has determined unquestioningly that Dick Cheney never heard about Wilson’s trip. A major “BUSH LIED” pillar has just collapsed.
