Sorry for the vanity, but I tried the Fox site and can't find this mornings transcripts....can anyone give me an idea. Here's my question whjy isn't Bush on the roof of the Whitehouse with a bullhorn????
Who's UBL? Osama Bin Laden?
I didn't watch the show so I can't help; except to BUMP the thread for you. This sounds fascinating. I'll stay tuned...
Saw it. He was one of the speakers at the Intelligence Summit a few weeks ago. I believe he's referring to the tapes that Bill Tierney had translated. Those tapes were the tip of the tape/document iceberg, but not sure if he was referring to any new translations.

Tapes
Saddam Hussein Had Secret Uranium Enrichment
Program Reprinted from NewsMax.com
Kenneth R. Timmerman ***** Thursday, Feb. 16, 2006
In the year 2000, two years after Iraq expelled U.N. arms inspectors, two Iraqi
scientists paid a discreet visit to Saddam Hussein in his presidential palace.
They had come to brief the Iraqi dictator on their progress in enriching uranium
using plasma separation. If successful, their efforts could have given Saddam
the fissile material he was seeking to make a bomb.
"You can tell that one of the scientists is nervous on the tape," former FBI
translator Bill Tierney told NewsMax. "He is telling Saddam of all these
wonderful things they can do with the plasma process, which they initially
developed in the 1980s for the nuclear weapons program.
The scientist tried to convince Saddam to change course and use the technology
for purely peaceful purpose, but the Iraqi dictator just listened politely. "You
can imagine him nodding his head as you listen to the tape," Tierney said.
Tierney believes the tapes will vindicate the pre-war analysis of Iraqi WMD
programs. "If anything, after translating 12 hours of these tapes, I believe the
U.S. intelligence analysis didn't go far enough," he told NewsMax.
Tierney worked with U.N. arms inspectors in Iraq in the late 1990s, and
experienced Iraq's "cheat and retreat" efforts first hand. He will release the
original Arabic tapes and English language translations Saturday at the
Intelligence Summit, a privately-funded conference in Arlington, Va. As
non-U.S.-origin materials, they are not classified.
The plasma enrichment program was so well-protected by the Iraqi regime that
U.N. arms inspectors had never discovered it. "This not only shows the
capabilities the Iraqis had, but also the weakness of international arms
inspection," Tierney believes. "Arms inspection regimes just don't work."
The plasma process got a brief mention in the 2004 final report of CIA arms
inspector Charles Duelfer, but only as a legacy program the Iraqis had abandoned
in the late 1980s.
I wish Freepers could get on this and do a blitz like they did on the BlagtherRather case, the ScarryKerry lies, etc.
The MSM and the libs are doing everything they can to keep this from seeing the light of day - after all, it proves what they really know but don't want anyone else too. How could they keep up the mantra "Bush Lied/lied/lied/lied. Impeach! Vote us in!"?
They are banking their return to power on this mantra.
They are pulling out all the stops to bury this.
Fox lets a blip through now and then, but there' no mention anywhere else - let's keep drumming on more important things, like old pre-Katrina tapes, hunting accidents that have not a thing to do with us or our security, etc.
We need to drown Fox/Rush/Drudge/newspapers/senators/reps - every outlet - with letters, emails...this must not be allowed to sink out of sight. This is the one thing that would turn everything around - maybe not only show the WMS were there and where they went - but that it has been known all along and who buried it and why. There would be some rats scurrying for holes...
It would also be interesting for folk to realize the very possible connection to this and Rockeeeefellar's visit, pre-war- to the area, particularly to Syria.
Remember, Saddam was strutting around like a rooster, confident that the US would not attack - just make a gesture, ala Clintonn lobbing a missile for show and then forgetting it.
SAddam's partners in the illegal money for oil deals, FRance/Russia/Germany assured him that they could keep him safe from attack by controlling the UN. But Rockeeeeeee went to Syria (no business, not his job) and told (warned? Leaked classifed secruity information?) the Syrian president, who also did not think Bush would attack, that oh, yes, Bush was definitely going to attack.
Is that not when the deal was struck to spirit the WMDs out of Dodge, thru' Syria, to wait for another day? Freepers - FREEP

They are on pdf files at these links.
FYI: In case you didn't know.....There is a great deal of information about the tapes at keyword: intelligencesummit.
