Instead of blowing his critics out of the water, the President chose to sit silent and blow his own party out of the water. Compassionate conservatism sucks bug time.
This sounds believable, but whether it’s true or not, we don’t know.

Both from July
This is really old news ...
The fact that it is being moved to Canada is news.
The fact that it exists should be brought up in public constantly, buy the right to stick it into the eye of the leftist propagandists.
There were potential weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and it’s been a bald faced lie since day one, that ‘Bush lied, men died!”
You’ll have to forgive some of us for wanting this outed over and over.
We could out it daily for ten years, and still not catch up to the MSM who claimed it didn’t exist constantly for years.
Wonder how much it was. It clearly was in Iraq but the issue of keeping it out of the hands of terrorists seems kind of weak. They could do very little with yellow cake since it takes a significant amount of equipment and effort to purify it into anything usable. It certainly would have been valuable to the Iranians.
Assuming the article is accurately reporting facts, there are some things more important than politics, and one of those is national security. Rightly or wrongly, Bush puts nationality security at the top of his priority list, above politics.
That is leadership!
Wow...I completely missed this story back in July. Boggles my mind how Republicans have the most inept communications teams in history. This should’ve been breaking, front page news everywhere...and the McCain team should be promoting it. Had they done so, they wouldn’t have had to foolishly distance themselves from Bush.
Because the administration could not talk about this stuff until it was out of Iraq, the democrats in House and Senate who had inside knowledge of its existence used the silence to destroy the administration on the ‘no weapons of mass destruction’ game the media loved. That there were found and disposed of gallons of bio-chemical weapons had no impact on a media determiend to keep such from the American voters. But if one reads regularly at UK sites, the fatcs have been out there since the first year after Saddam’s being deposed.
Bush’s fault. sarcasm
Yellowcake makes a nice dirty bomb, barackanista. Will you trolls stop eventually?
Paging Joe Wilson and Colin Powell.
Here is 500 tons of death and long time misery that was in the control of your favorite Serial Killer, Uncle $addam.
Now tell me why President Bush kept this “secret”?
It was never really a secret. Anyone who was curious already knew about it, and the 500 tons of yellowcake were mentioned in another story a couple of months ago.
What national security interests have been served by keeping it “secret”? The Iraquis knew about it. I’m sure the Russians and al Qaeda knew about it. Most Freepers knew about it, or anyone else with an interest.
It seems to me, however, that by keeping it nominally secret, Bush let the left wing press off the hook and gave all those moonbats with bumperstickers leave to keep lying about it forever. In other words, he helped the antiwar movement delude a lot of Americans about what happened in Iraq.
Bush is an honorable man, and I’m sure he thinks he did the right thing. But he is one of the worst communicators in the history of the presidency, and that has had unfortunate consequences, despite all his honorable leadership in the WOT.
National security above party affiliation or self gain?
Did you flunk reading 101?
You Bush Haters are truly mentally ill.
I smell troll breath here.
Thanks for those links. The story is so amazing that I was actually doubting the veracity. This should be big news.
The difference in a patriot(Bush) who seeks no glory vs a prostitute (Kerry and the Dems) who want the self-serving power grab of headlines.
Maybe Fox will report it.
