Hear Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, IV, center of the “yellowcake” non-scandal, address the “Education for Peace in Iraq Center” on June 14, 2003. Hear him:
· admit to being “pissed off;”
· predict American casualties of up to 20 per day in Iraq and the demise of Tony Blair’s government;
· predict greater anger in Iraq following the removal of Saddam than that of America after 9/11;
· claim we’ve found no terrorists in Iraq;
· predict that we may find weapons of mass destruction;
· call the “warmongers” “assholes;”
· claim we keep our assets in debt and mortgages (huh?);
· make side-by-side contradictory statements regarding Iran and North Korea;
· claim the “real agenda” for the war was to benefit Israel;
· call weapons of mass destruction a “flawed argument,” despite predicting that we may well find them;
· joke that he wants to run for governor of California on a secessionist ticket;
· predict, perhaps, a one percent increase in U.S. unemployment;
· predict President Bush may start another war to improve his reelection chances;
· cite the military demobilizations in Angola and Chad as examples we should follow in Iraq;
· ask, “wasn’t life simpler when all our President lied about was his sex life?”; and
· state that we’ll need to “roll” the lawn of democracy in Iraq for 600 years.
He also makes a few good points.
