Freepers All: I too rejoice. But we need corroboration. Think outside the box and tell me the possible downside of this. How will the NYT and CBS and Kerry spin? What if no corroboration? Will they unleash tons of BS and see if any will stick? We gotta be ready for their response.
That's a given reaction by the left. Counter them with the truth. I really think Russia is trying to come clean on this.
They'll use the same excuse they did when the forged memos came out remember.....they blamed Rove....said he sent the memos.
I think I saw that NYT is going to run yet another front page article on the "missing explosives", so my guess is the Kerry campaign will go yet another day pounding Bush for not guarding the explosives (in essence blaming the military, but the dems don't see it that way). I bet they do run with the same story tomorrow.
Suppose that this was all PLANNED w/ Russia during the run up and the pussy-footing at the UN....sort of like good cop/bad cop - Saddam (and his cohorts at the UN) are the perps.
Russia does not want to lose big bucks when Saddam goes out - but really would prefer he were gone. So, they "work with him" but not really. They get their stuff, get the dangerous goodies out of what they know will soon be a war zone, and don't tip France and Germany by siding outright with the US. This would explain the reports that Russia convinced Saddam that we wouldn't actually invade. This sounds to me like the ultimate double cross. Sounds like a KGB novel. Oh, wait...KGB....
Maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight...but NOTHING would shock me here...
And finally, to answer your question....if this were the case, the MSM will spin it that Bush LIED and kept all this secret. Oh, and they might mention that BUSH LIED.
My guess they will quote someone from Russia, or the UN just like they tried to do with the Monday article.
If they choose to ignore it, then the administration must make public comments on the new information.
