it links to H2O's article for DU

http://www.democraticunderground.com/articles/04/07/24_paper.html



last paragraphs from this article

The possibility that VP Cheney was hoping to derail a sting operation involving Valerie Plame, which is our identified goal #3, does explain why VP Cheney would condone the breaking of the federal law, and risk the most serious scandal that this administration faces.

Further research by an ad hoc DU "think tank" has identified possible connections between businesses connected to VP Cheney that may be associated with the sale of WMD components to countries in the Middle East. It is our belief that this theory and the evidence that supports it needs a more in-depth investigation

1. This is starting to sound like one of those theories
put forth that says the discovery of the Watergate break-in was planned.

There's always room for good old-fashioned incompetence.

2. Randi Rhodes has also been saying something
Edited on Fri Jul-15-05 06:27 PM by Tommymac
similiar. She has reported that Ms. Plame's group was hot on the trail of Osama bin Laden...and had reportedly tied him in to Saudi Arabian interests. They could possibly have had intelligence that would have led to his imminent capture....thus negating the need to invade Iraq....I think this is being discussed on a mainstream blog somewhere...I'll try and track it down.

16. She works on
tracking the sales of WMD components. There is an entire other section of CI that track(ed) Usama bin Ladden, headed by Michael Scheuer (before his retirement), who authored "Imperial Hubris."

There is some reason to believe that she may have been connected to an investigation into the possibility that Iraq was attempting to purchase yellow cake from Africa.

18. Yes but
as answer #1 indicates, there's always room for incontinence.

5. Huge! Wilson is being attacked for info he provided
that was twisted by the admin; people assume it's all about the wrath against Wilson, when actually they were trying to derail his wife and her agenda. May this bite them all in the ass!

7. It was all about "fixing the intelligence around policy",...
,...and both Wilson and his wife (along with all those exposing WMD proliferation) were getting in the way of these war-profiteers. I mean, face it, our country is ruled by oil-diggers and arms dealers who are vicious about expanding their profits and power no matter what consequence to this country or her people.

9. And this brings us right back to the DSM; oh what a
tangled messed-up unsupportable web they weave when they practice to deceive, to paraphrase. :) I suspect I shouldn't be so happy that the scoundrels running this country into the ground are now digging their own graves, but damn! :woohoo:

6. hasn't sibel edmonds said that the selling of nukes is at the bottom of
all the post-911 mysteries? something about not getting in the way of special groups of people being able to make money off of selling nukes.

10. I was just going to chime in with Sibel Edmonds ...
Her story (what she's been able to reveal) seems to tie in with H2OMan's theory. Could she have twigged to the Cheney connection to the nukes, drugs, etc? It just seems to fit together.

12. it seems to me that's why her story is so explosive
and why she can't talk. i was amazed when the little bit about nukes came out in her last transmission.

8. This is far out
But another Du'er speculated this and now it's spinning in my mind.

So no WMD found in Iraq by June '03...should have been six weeks after Baghdad fell at the latest no? That's what I thought.

So Cheney/the neo-con cabal plans to put them there. Sell them to somebody in the middle east or Iraq after the FACT. How nuts is that? It's so nuts it might make sense.

Valerie Plame WMD expert..falls onto something..get Joe Wilson to Africa fast..so we can nuke Plame..and the rest is history.

Oh wouldn't it be the juiciest of ironies if that were the case? No WMD so they try to get them there after the war? Everything is the opposite with these crooks and liars.
