THIS is what we should be talking about instead of Cheney and ports.

The Media is about to become silent on the issue of WMD.

Guess the Libs and the Media don't want to face the fact they may have to "Eat Crow"

[Delmarksman]

MSM .... CHIRP CHIRP (sounds of crickets)

Haven't you heard, Bill Tierney is a Jesus freak. The tapes are not to be believed!

Okay look, I don't deny that there's a generic media bias against anything that would make Bush look good, but this is such a gigantic story that is so muffled, even among many conservative sites. (Even here, it gets only moderate play.)

There's got to be more to it than mere media bias. What is it?

[Darkwolf377]

On one of the tapes, made in 2000, two years after Saddam kicked out U.N. weapons inspectors, two Iraqi scientists can be heard briefing Hussein on their progress in enriching uranium using plasma separation. If successful, their work would have given Saddam the fissile material he needed to make a nuclear bomb.

[reasonisfaith]

Any members of Congress, who were aware of this proof of WMD’s yet actively opposed the Iraq war, are guilty of treason. Indict.

A "good news" ping.

[nickcarraway]

The media is never going to make a big deal about this. It's up to Bush to spread this news. I can't figure out why he has spen the last 2 1/2 years hiding any news that supported the war.

Call me crazy, but it looks like the biggest rope-a-dope ever is coming. Could it be just in time for the mid terms? I think the Arab harbor deal might be related in some crazy way. Just a hunch.

The tapes were officially presented Sunday by former FBI translator Bill Tierney to a private conference of former weapons inspectors and intelligence experts in Arlington, Va.

Tierney is being discredited right now.

William Tierney, the former United Nations weapons inspector who unveiled the so-called "Saddam Tapes" at a conference in Arlington, Virginia, Saturday, told National Review Online that God directed him to weapons sites in Iraq and that his belief in the importance of one particular site was strengthened when a friend told him that she had a vision of the site in a dream.

[Calpernia]

Funny thing about dictators and tyrants: Very often they are meticulous record keepers. The fall of the Third Reich, the Soviet Union and Saddam Hussein's Iraq all produced treasure troves of information. In Iraq's case, there were so many documents and records that even now only a small fraction have been translated and analyzed.

Among them are 12 hours of conversations from the early 1990s through 2000 between Hussein and his top advisers. They reveal, among other things, how Iraq was working on an advanced method of enriching uranium, how Iraq was conspiring to deceive U.N. inspectors regarding weapons of mass destruction and how these weapons might be used against the U.S.

Maybe this is why the "port control issue" has exploded in recent days. Shhhhhh, Bush was right...

Does that miserable lying hag Maureen Dowd know about this? Let's get her comment...

Book-marked to send my liberal brother.

Thank you for posting this.

In one exchange taped in April or May 1995, Saddam's son-in-law, Hussein Kamil al-Majid, briefed Saddam and his aides on his success at concealing Iraq's WMD from inspectors. "We did not reveal all that we have," he said. "They didn't know the extent of our work on missiles."

I'm shocked that the government of Saddam Hussein would conceal evidence from UN inspectors. Shocked!
