Leaving Wilson aside for the moment, I consider this significant:

First, contrary to what Wilson wrote in the New York Times, Saddam Hussein was trying to acquire uranium from Niger. In support of that proposition are a Senate report in Washington, Lord Butler's report in London, MI6, French intelligence, other European agencies -- and, as we now know, the CIA report, based on Joe Wilson's original briefing to them. Against that proposition is Joe Wilson's revised version of events for the Times.

This isn't difficult. In 1999, a senior Iraqi "trade" delegation went to Niger. Uranium accounts for 75 percent of Niger's exports. The rest is goats, cowpeas and onions. So who sends senior trade missions to Niger? Maybe Saddam dispatched his Baathist big shots all the way to the dusty capital of Niamy because he had a sudden yen for goat and onion stew with a side order of black-eyed peas, and Major Wanke, the then-president, had offered him a great three-for-one deal.

The fact of the matter is that at least as recently as 1999, years after the American Left insists Saddam foreswore WMD forever and took up knitting, he was trying to acquire resources that have no other use than to refine fissionable uranium.

In 1999, Saddam still wanted to build atomic bombs. When the war started, he still had a stable of scientists and technicians on salary in that field. The research and other documentation for this effort--what wasn't destroyed in the days after the invasion--were carefully stored away.

Like a lot of the other things in the American and British intelligence reports, this is being studiously ignored.
