Reply #57: KInd of a snarky headline - and his contributions in diffusing the Iraq [View All]

"human shield" situation before the first gulf war is mentioned only briefly. He received high accolades from Poppy Bush for that - it would seem that could have been his claim to "15 minutes of fame" had the press seen fit to give him his due when all of this crap first hit the fan. I agree that Wilson is a showboat - anyone who reads his book can see that - but he did deserve credit for his diplomatic skills in dealing with Saddam in that situation and it is ironic to say the least that Bush junior is now trashing his reputation for essentially telling the truth about the Niger fiasco.
