| Divorced from his anti-semitic lying wife [NY Post] Former Ambassador Joe Wilson ‐ who found himself and his then-wife Valerie Plame in the middle of a political firestorm when he contradicted President George W. Bush's rationale for the 2003 invasion of Iraq ‐ has died at the age of 69. Plame, a former CIA operative who was outed in apparent revenge after Wilson blew the whistle on Bush, said the cause was organ failure. Wilson and Plame ended their marriage in 2017. A veteran, 23-year diplomat, Wilson had been assigned by the CIA as a private citizen to go to Niger in 2003 and investigate reports that Iraq had been sold uranium yellowcake by the African country in the 1990s. Wilson found nothing ‐ and said as much in a New York Times op-ed headlined, "What I Didn't Find in Africa" in July 2003. "If my information was deemed inaccurate, I understand (though I would be very interested to know why)," he wrote in the column. "If, however, the information was ignored because it did not fit certain preconceptions about Iraq, then a legitimate argument can be made that we went to war under false pretenses." Wilson's words contradicted Bush's contention in his January 2003 State of the Union that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. |

| #1 Couple of CIA operatives united in their opposition against a conservative president, Bush 43, who were given great amount of press coverage to legitimize their claim that she was outed as a CIA agent as a dirty and dangerous tactic by a corrupt administration to retaliate against any whistle blowers. It sounds very similar to the current tactics being used today by certain operatives in the FBI and in the CIA with the collusion of the media to undermine the current administration trying to create a scandal to deny the president a second term. The left are ruthless in their tactics and their lust for power and are very corrupt. |
