NYT Reporting Friday, Sources Say: U.S. Posting of Iraq Nuke Docs on Web Could Have Helped Iran

Drudge Report ^ | November 2, 2006

[West Coast Conservative]

Federal government set up Web site -- Operation Iraqi Freedom Document Portal -- to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war; detailed accounts of Iraq's secret nuclear research; a 'basic guide to building an atom bomb'... Officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency fear the information could help Iran develop nuclear arms... contain charts, diagrams, equations and lengthy narratives about bomb building that the nuclear experts say go beyond what is available elsewhere on the Internet and in other public forums...

Website now shut... Developing...

The DUmmies are going to go nuclear (nuclear) if this gets the old "Rovian Twist" and ends up proving "Bush was right!" Which we all know, but the sheeple out there have been brainwashed to forget.

I am trying to remember where I saw a quote about the Bush Administration not giving up the fight about WMDs. I think it was Mac Ranger's site, and his source said, (paraphrasing)"The Dems wanted to make this about Bush lying about WMDs, and he has let them pile on and on, but he is NOT going to let them have the last word. They started it, and he is going to damn-well finish it."

It sounded really ominous--in a good way. Maybe this NYTimes hit piece will turn on them. Ooooh that would be so great!

And the DUmmies are so easily duped. The docs that I've seen are dated from the 90s to right before the Iraq invasion. How utterly illiterate must one be to become a DUmmie, anyway? What a bunch of dolts.

Bush didn't lie!!! Bush didn't lie!!!

I'm sure Iran's nuclear program is as advanced as Hussein's ever was.

that's the icing on the cake. Everyone with half a brain knows this but they are so blinded by hate and so panicked for something - anything - that they fell into it - They have the same disdain for the American public that Kerry et al have for the military.

Funny thing is, if we get this up and running and they get slammed into oblivion with it - and the election doesn't go their way - they'll never understand why, because, like Kerry, these people are incapable of realizing they could be wrong...

It's not "know how" the Iranians lack, it's fissionable material.

Well, at least we don't have to worry about *that*. /s

[Alfonso1000]

The MSM feeds off ignorance.

[pollyannaish]

The antiwar crowd is going to have to argue that the information somehow wasn't dangerous in the hands of Saddam Hussein, but was dangerous posted on the Internet. It doesn't work. It can't be both no threat to America and yet also somehow a threat to America once it's in the hands of Iran. Game, set, and match.

And there you have it straight from the National Review.

The NRO article is very crisp, logical and succinct.

Let's hope the WH takes notice.

[Mo1]

Seems everyone realizes what the Times is doing .. except the Times .. LOL

I had a feeling they were ahead of Iraq. Plus the Chinese had obtained the W-88 info (thanks to the Clinton Admin). The ChiComs were advanced enough and have a history of transferring tech and weapons. Iran, IIRC, has been a good consumer of ChiCom products. I'm sure they also gained some intellectual help from China and Pakistan. Nice try NYT.

At least this brings light on the fact of how advanced Saddam was, blowing the kool-aid lib's "Bush lied" theme out of the water.

[darkmatter]

Exactly, They think they just nailed Bush. In reality they just handed Bush a silver bullet. I hope Rove et al plays this right. Let the MSM harp on this from now until Tuesday. Its political suicide for the Dems, and their too stupid to realize it. If they play it right this could be the greatest act of political Judo in modern times.

[blake6900]

I'm not trusting that this is all until tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure this is it. The Times posts its' headlines on its' website the night before the print copy comes out and this is what they've posted.

[LikeLight]

Rove is so masterful it's terrifying!

First, he makes Jon Carry come out and fire up the GOP base to white hot "broken glass" status...

Now, he makes the NYT come out and proclaim BUSH WAS RIGHT on Iraq and Saddam's WMD...

Good God, what might be next? I'm thinkin' he'll make Algore do something hilarious, just for one last big laugh.

Hello,

I have this vision of the powers that be at the NYT, running and screaming at the top of their lungs, "STOP THE PRESSES!".

However, I am sure that the powers that be at the NYT are currently attending a very trendy and upscale dinner party, bragging to all the other trendy and upscale "important" people that they have FINALLY published the story that will take Hitler (...sorry, Bush..) down....

I smiled as I wrote that, I couldn't help it....

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[SCHROLL]

By the NYT no less.

Here is the rebuttal to the NY Slimes

Clinton Scheme Gave Iran Nuke Blueprints

[DTogo]

So the NYTimes is saying Saddam was close to building a nuke in 2002?

This is like terrorists blowing themselves up while planting an IED!

HA!

[scsscs]

A lot of you are saying that the NYT's position has been that Saddam NEVER had a nuke program. I always thought that most lefties admit that he did have one in the 90s, but was dismantled before 2003, is that wrong?
