IMHO, Barnett is always good at making things seem extremely clear.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, or maybe I'm just one of those dumb vets that Kerry mentioned, but isn't it a "bi-annual" November surprise, as opposed to "semi-annual"?

Rush Limbaugh is saying that when the documents first appeared on the net, the democrats and the moonbat immediately doubted their authenticity.

It's just so typical of them. They demand something, get what they wanted, discount it as fake, hope it goes away, then cheer when it reappears because they've changed position.

The NYT is just looking out for America. Conservatives are always making a big deal out of a info filled story.

Stupid Conservatives. They expect the news to actually report news for news' sake.. Idiots.

Captain Ed Morrissey has an excellent post on the subject:

(He has many embedded links to a lot of important information, so I'll just post the link in stead of the article). Well worth your exploration.

Unfortunately, it's relatively simple to build a nuke. The tough part is finding enriched uranium.

Guess these college kids didn't go to Niger on spring break!

That's why the posting of the plans is not as catastrophic as it was made out to be. No, they shouldn't have been posted. But the Times has endorsed the view that these are a grand threat. It's the idea of Saddam's danger that's underlined.

Logic 101. Having these plans makes you a danger. Saddam had the plans. therefore he is a danger.

The Blitherer,


The NY-Times story is pathetic.


ANY knowlegable Mid-East journalist or military intelligence analyst (worth their salt) KNOWS that the Soviets have already given "miniaturized" nuclear-weapon design files to the Iranians, in exchange for Iran's giving the Soviets billions worth of nuclear facility and arms deals.


Privately, I think Iran ALREADY has nuclear weapons, already sitting on selected Shaab-3 missiles ... and are merely "baiting" Isreal to attack with a long, outrageous parade of diplomatic-military provocations.

If it's so dangerous, Iraq should not have had these documents, and Pres. Bush did the right thing.

END of story.

[FreedomNeocon]

Wait-a-minute but Saddam was contained... we had those iron-clad sanctions and oil-for-food program and the UN watching over him. Plus he had no interest in WMD, and had nothing to do with terrorism.

But somehow he had this 'how to build a nuke' primer, was a year away (if he could find a place to purchase yellow cake), housed terrorists (who mysteriously were killed on the eve of the war) and had terrorist training camp, openly paid for Palestinian suicide bombers, etc...

The cognitive dissonance is boggling...

It's not a November Surprise....it's a ROVEmber Surprise.

According to an old CNN article, In 2002, the UK declassified Nuke building docs

LONDON, England -- Britain's Ministry of Defence has confirmed it has made public information describing in detail the make-up of a nuclear bomb.

The plans give complete cross-sections, precise measurements and full details of materials used for all the components, including the plutonium core and the initiator that sets off the chain reaction causing the blast. [excerpt]

Thanks to Sturm Ruger for posting the link to the CNN article last night.

[Spunky]

Funny how the New York Times wouldn't translate any of the documents until they find one THEY THINK will effect the election.

And how stupid do they think we all are. We all know you can find out how to make a bomb many places on the Internet.

Thanks for posting this....

pinging others.....

I'm a tad confused on this issue. Even listening to Rush today didn't clear this up. (I went to Military Acadamy )back in the 70's. Perhaps that's why I don't get it.) This seems to me to be a good story for Repub's. It reveals that there were WMD or at least a possible atom bomb in the making. Bush vindicated? What are your thoughts?

Desperation is ugly. You can't have it both ways, now can you? The "dangerous" information in the hands of Saddam only made "dangerous" by the evil Americans because they published information that confirmed that Saddam was pursuing WMD. The stakes are high for the MSM. If they fail their uselessness will be exposed. The scramble for the lifeboats will not be pretty. At least when the Titanic sank they had a calm sea.

[Peach]

Rep. Hoekstra's response to the NYT is a thing of beauty as well. He denies that ANYONE warned the goverment/Congress about the danger posed in those documents.
