Bomb-Gate(Ammogate) NY Times Iraqi arms story based on a false letter! (HERE WE GO AGAIN!)
National Review ^ | Cliff May

Posted on 10/26/2004 7:15:43 AM PDT by The G Man

This is a post by NR writer Cliff May on their "Corner" blog at NRO:

BOMB-GATE [Cliff May]

Sent to me by a source in the government:

“The Iraqi explosives story is a fraud. These weapons were not there when US troops went to this site in 2003. The IAEA and its head, the anti-American Mohammed El Baradei, leaked a false letter on this issue to the media to embarrass the Bush administration. The US is trying to deny El Baradei a second term and we have been on his case for missing the Libyan nuclear weapons program and for weakness on the Iranian nuclear weapons program.”

(For the record, I don’t reveal my sources so if that means I end up sharing a cell at Sing-sing with Judy Miller, so be it.) Posted at 10:00 AM

And The Winner Is…


I issued a challenge – to name the latest media scandal, as Polipundit readers had named Rathergate. Polipundit readers did not disappoint. The entries had me laughing out loud. Many chose to write a headline, rather than submit a name, and they came up with some doozies. Please read them all in the comments section of this post.

Instead of trying to count votes, I decided to do as I did with Rathergate, and just choose my favorite. (Actually my favorite is posted here, but it was just a little too cute. )

Some of the top contenders were Cache ‘N Kerrygate, Times-Ammo-Gate and NYT SurpriseGate, but there were many, many other entertaining entries.

And the winner is… NYTrogate .

The winning entry was submitted by Polipundit reader, “litig8r". Congratulations! (Sorry, there is no cash prize – or any other kind of prize.)

They won't. They'll let the MSM do the dirty works, which means Kerry gets off without even a slap on the wrist.

Well I have stated all along, that the ONLY WAY that Kerry can win this election, is for the BUSH CAMPAIGN TO GIVE IT TO HIM. They worry me.

Here's how to contact the Times...and believe me it is working.

Phone number is (212) 556-1234 then hit the following prompts: 5-then-1-then-4. That will bring you to the foreign desk.

Mohammed El Baradei is such a low-life snake in the grass and this outing of him and the corrupt media better have very long legs!

Rush just played a clip of Kerry at the debate with Gibson.

Kerry says "...president a failure who didn't even guard the ammo dumps and now that ammo is being used to kill our soldiers."

Considering the UN is considered the source behind the fake ammo story, I want to know what did Kerry know and when did he know it?
