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

YES! That is the PERFECT response to this! With statements to that effect from various administration types (W, Big Time, Condi, Powell, etc)

Its the seriousness of the charge, not the truthfulness.

Why is it getting MINIMAL, passing mention in the press today? Almost NO ONE is covering the new NBC story--and Kerry is STILL using the original Wash Post story!!

LOL.

Add to that the fact that NBC reported last night they had embedded reporters with our troops at that weapons depot on 4/1/03 and the weapons were already gone!

I've called the NYT this morning to complain. Let them know we're onto their game.

The letter was typed on an old IBM selectric to make it look authentic.

Makes us wonder how long this fake story was on the back burners of the various rat blogging sites like the Wilson/Plame fiasco and the Blather fiasco.

This is BIG....and I'm not just saying that.....a person working for the UN has just been outed as having been the source to a story designed to bring down a sitting US President.

Aha!

Thought it was from the UN....posted this on another thread.

Kerry loves them and wants America under their control.

Clinton wants to be head honcho at UN.

Kerry will put a screeching halt to investigations exposing the corruption of this bunch.

It is no longer "Campaign 2004 - The Outing of the Mainstream Media".

It is now "Campaign 2004 - The Outing of American Enemies: The Mainstream Media and The United Nations".

The MSM has totally been disgraced with the NY Slimes and CBS leading the way.

I'm "rather" sure the LA Slimes would be "deeply saddened" to be "left" off your list.LOL

"false letter" doesn't necessarilly mean a forgery I suppose

It could be faked but authentic. Or false but true? Unforged yet phony?

The Nazis coined a term for this scenario back in the 1930's.

The Big Lie.

Have you seen this? I said last night that I wanted to see the letter, for the transcription. Now it is being reported to be a fraud.

Form the record, I may have been first to raise the question


NBCNEWS: Huge Cache of Explosives Vanished From Site in Iraq -- At Least 18 Months Ago (SIREN)

Question: If the WMD were faked by Saddam, how do we know that these 350 tons of weapons existed ?
