Joe Wilson: pro-Iraq war once upon a time?
I would like to see a full transcript of WABC talk radio host Mark Simone’s interview with Joe Wilson, because these excerpts from it are intriguing and – well, hard to believe:
“There was a lot of reason to be concerned about weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Saddam Hussein,” he told WABC Radio’s Mark Simone. “I always thought that he probably had chemical and biological weapons and biological precursors as well.”
Wilson said his primary policy difference with President Bush wasn’t over Saddam’s WMDs, but rather on the question of “how to construct a policy that gets to the national security issue of disarming Saddam Hussein and does so at minimum risk to other legitimate U.S. interests both in Iraq and in the region.”
But aside from that, Wilson said he cheered President Bush’s decision to topple the Iraqi dictator, telling Simone: “When the president went up to the U.N. and got the [war] resolution unanimously passed at the U.N., nobody applauded louder than I did.”
I’ll be on the hunt for a transcript. In the meantime, if anyone finds one, please post a link to it in the comments section or email me.

I heard the interview, and Wilson was in bloviation mode; he went all over the terrain during the interview, but never said anything someone familiar with the whole “affair” could take seriously.
Good luck with finding a transcript; WABC never posts them, but Simone might put one up on his website if enough people demand him to produce one, but don’t hold your breath…after the interview Mark was getting mauled by callers for not hammering Wilson with hard questions and allowing him to say things that have been proven to be utterly untrue.
I am so sick of Joe Wilson. He’s more useless than Howard Cosell commenting on Monday Night Football.
Mark Simone is a solid guy. I think he’s a Democrat, but he is a solid thinker, not the usual kool-aid drinker. I believe he (or WABC) would produce a transcript without a lot of prodding.
If the MSM would only confront Wilson with his words, we might finally be done with him and his doofus wife. By the way, why is Queen Bee Wilson still working for the CIA after bringing her dopey husband aboard to drink green tea in Africa for a week, with full pay and allowances.
