You wrote, "Is the NYT so committed to destroying Bush that the didn`t understand that this story vindicates the war?"

This news was bound to come out, either by the NYT or some other--perhaps even a slightly more pro-Bush--MSM outlet. If this story has legs, the NYT wants to 're-frame' the news in the most negative way possible in order to stifle its effect: 'Yes, Saddam was close to realizing the bomb BUT the Bush administration has been so lax in safeguarding captured Iraqi nuclear documents that it has advanced Iranian research by several years.'

The NYT headline won't be 'BUSH RIGHT ABOUT SADDAM WMD THREAT', but rather, 'BUSH GIVES IRAN NUKE PROGRAM BIG BOOST'.

That's my take on things, anyway.

Sure, that`s what the NYT wants the story to be, but, Sen. Carry was telling a joke. Sometimes even the NYT is stupid. The best thing the Rats can do with this is to do what Jon Carry should have done --SHUT UP
