They didn&#8217;t even contact him even though they had all the necessary information. All of this was within weeks of Bush&#8217;s infamous SOTUS and Powell&#8217;s U.N. deceit.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#9933ff\"><strong>Eriposte&#8217;s<\/strong><\/font> Conclusions: The C.I.A. behavior is &quot;consistent with only one meaningful and likely explanation &#8211; that the CIA was well aware of the contents of the Niger forgeries, that the uranium from Niger allegations were bogus, and that the claims from the &quot;West African businessman&quot; matched some of the specific information contained in the forgeries. And &quot;if there is any individual on earth who needs to be traced down and questioned immediately, and his links to the Niger forgery cabal examined, it is this &quot;West African businessman&quot;.&quot;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<hr size=\"1\" \/>\n<p align=\"justify\">Why am I so stuck on this topic, particularly reiterating what another blogger is saying? It&#8217;s because I actually have come to believe that this is <em>treason of the first kind<\/em>. The Neoconservatives may have started with some kind of philosophy, but by the time of Bush&#8217;s first campaign, they were beyond philosophy, and down to a specific plan &#8211; unseating Saddam Hussein. Apparently, the pulling out of Iraq after the <strong>Gulf War<\/strong> on the advice of the C.I.A. was seem as a monsterous mistake. The C.I.A. advised George H. W. Bush that unseating Hussein would destabilize Iraq and lead to an&nbsp; unmanagablel Civil War that would engulf us &#8211; and he listened to them. Dick Cheney, by the way was his Secretary of Defense. During the Clinton years, Cheney and the Neoconservatives fumed about this decision, and by the time of George W. Bush&#8217;s election, had a pugilistic, imperial, foreign policy plan that they pinned on Reagan, but originated with Paul Wolfowitz and the A.E.I. &amp; P.N.A.C. Think Tanks. It is abundantly clear that The Bush Administration came into office with an axe to grind with the C.I.A., and war fever for another shot at Iraq in their hearts. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So, 911 just fueled this Iraq fever. The thrust of <font color=\"#9933ff\"><strong>Eriposte<\/strong><\/font>&#8216;s conclusions so far is that <strong>the C.I.A. always knew that the Niger Uranium story was a hoax<\/strong> &#8211; knew it in spades. They didn&#8217;t even follow-up on leads. When the Administration began to use this phoney story and other trumped up evidence, the C.I.A. tried to stop them &#8211; but to no avail. The C.I.A. was in the &quot;dog-house.&quot; This war was mounted based on conscious lies; based on a policy left over from years before; had nothing to do with a &quot;War on Terror.&quot; Even the name, Operation Iraqi Freedom, came from the Bush Doctrine Policy. Everything Bush has done is part of this specific foreign policy idea &#8211; including appointing a man as our U.N. Representative who doesn&#8217;t even believe in the U.N. &#8211; John Bolton. They thought the war would be a &quot;walk in the park.&quot; And the war part was. But, as predicted by the C.I.A. decades before, that would not be the end of the story&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So why I&#8217;m stuck on this particular topic is simple. It&#8217;s the Yellow Brick Road. It&#8217;s the mother of all lies. They ignored what intelligence we did have, distorted intelligence that was patently false, ignored our U.N. committment, ignored the advice and opinion of our allies, ignored the Geneva Conventions, ignored our Constitution and Congress, and <strong>that&#8217;s just plain treason<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">What else is there to talk about?&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Risking Monotony, I continue: Uranium from Africa and the Niger Forgeries: When did the CIA first receive copies of the Niger uranium forgeries? &#8211; Part 2: The Dog That Did Not Bark, Again The C.I.A. not only ignored the receipt of the Niger documents in October 2002, they also ignored reports in December 2002 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
