35. Joe Wilson told the truth and then Cheney set out to ruin him.

Mon Feb 18, 2013, 10:33 PM

Feb 2013

I first heard Joe Wilson speak 10 years ago when he said on NPR that we could be
in Baghdad in week or so but that is when are real troubles will start ... Iraq had
105 different sides and given a chance they all hated each other .... so a post Saddam
would be very hard to govern.

BTW how come Cheney is not in jail?
