'''Joseph Charles Wilson IV''' (born November 6, 1949) is a retired [[diplomat]] of the [[United States Foreign Service]], who was posted to African nations and Iraq during the [[George H. W. Bush]] administration. During the [[George W. Bush]], aka 'Dum-Dum' administration, after his retirement from foreign service, Wilson became known to the general public as a result of his controversial (only in the world of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and a slew of other douche-bags would this statement be called 'controversial'; the fact that WMD were not found, that the CIA knew as far back as 2001 that the Iraqi NW program had been dismantled, and that all other indications, for example from UK intelligence, have been roundly discredited show that your fanatical devotion to the dying conservative political ideology precludes sensible thought) [[editorial|op-ed]] published in ''[[The New York Times]]'' on July 6, 2003, four months after the invasion of Iraq began in March 2003. In the op-ed, entitled "What I Didn't Find in Africa," Wilson alleges his February 2002 trip investigating whether Iraq purchased or attempted to purchase [[yellowcake]] from Niger in the late 1990s and accuses (this is no longer an accusation: the world now recognizes that the Bush Administration lied the US into war by lying to the public) the [[George W.
