Anyone else wondering why this story is getting any traction whereas "The Memo" isn't?

One story is about Saddam Hussein failing at an attempted delay tactic. The other is about potentially treasonous activity.

Which one is more important?

I hate liberals.

As I understand it this took place just days after the "Mission Accomplished" banners had been ordered at the Austin TX RNC-run powerhouse, "Banners-R-Us" and only a month after the entire next 20 years had been planned at the Governor's mansion in Texas. Saddam was even willing to limit the number of rapes at his rape centers and included the potential allowance for some French verifications that his non-existant WMD had, indeed, not been left in Iraq. All the more insidious.

I wonder how much the Democrats on the Intel Committee paid this guy Hage to start this 2004 "Tears for Saddam" Tour?

Of all the crap coming from the left to undermine this President, This story takes the cake.

What a load of crap. How can a reporter believe one word? Are reporters really this stupid, or are they willing and proud participants in this international anti-America pro-Saddam propaganda effort?

Who on earth has dumbed themselves down enough to believe Saddam had any intention of caving?

As Rumsfeld said yesterday- There was no reason for him to go through back channels.

He had a standing deadline, didn't he, there at the end, of 48 hours? He could have done something then. Too bad so sad.

Next time Bush says "You've got 48 hours" I bet they will think "Hey! I've got 48 hours."

I like when people say what they mean and mean what they say.

Almost up to the point the bombs began to fall in Bagdad, Saddam could have stopped the war by giving in to the UN (even if he did not mean to follow up on anything)

Saddam (for reasons that I can not understand) thought President Bush was bluffing. He lost that bet.

At this point, I will let history sort it out.
