Throw Hadley from the train
After this classic ' non-denial denial' today - National Security maven Stephen Hadley looks set to join scooter in being rudely expelled from the careening trainwreck that is the Bush crime families maladministration. Latecomers to the big Fitzmas party might be wondering why documents detailing the nu-cu-leer death threat posed by Saddam the insane from Babylon, represent such a hazard. Anyone would think they were radio-active or something.
' Whats the big secret?'
Well it's ' hiding-in-plain-sight' and ' the dog-that-didn't-bark' but if you ' don't ask and don't tell' it should all come out in due course. As Rasputin from Russia said recently...' it's so hard to keep a secret these days '.Hadley took the blame for the reference that showed up in Bush's State of the Union speech.
According to reports in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Italian intelligence helped pass off forged documents that accused Iraq of trying to buy 500 tons of "yellowcake" uranium from Niger.
Focus has centered on Hadley because of his September 9, 2002, meeting with Italy's intelligence chief, Nicolo Pollari.
Exactly one month later, on October 9, 2002, an Italian journalist provided the U.S. Embassy in Rome with copies of documents about the alleged Iraq-Niger uranium sale, according to a U.S. congressional investigation. Copies of the documents were then sent to State Department headquarters and the CIA, the congressional report said.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's office said last week that the government and Italian intelligence had no "direct or indirect role in the fabrication and the transmission of the 'fake dossier on Niger uranium."'
Backing up Berlusconi's account, the White House said earlier this week that U.S. officials who attended the September 9, 2002, meeting do not remember any discussion of the Niger claim or any exchange of documents.
ITALY'S ROLE?
Pollari is due to address an Italian parliamentary committee overseeing the intelligence service on Thursday at a closed-door meeting called to discuss the latest claims.
Asked if he or any member of his staff met with Italian intelligence outside the White House when the issue was discussed, Hadley said: "I can tell you my recollection. My recollection is no, not here, not anyplace else."
After consulting with a member of his staff "to refresh my memory," Hadley told reporters that the documents were first obtained by the State Department and then shared with the CIA.
The man from P.A.T.S.Y takes on all internal IMF missions even if disavowed.
Some phase's he could memorize during the next ( final ) days ...' Nolo Contendre', ' I don't recall' and ' On advice I assert my fifth ammendment right's on that.'
