One of the boxes was in the Clinton living room all this time (who knew?).

This ain't no Friday evening, bury 'em doc dump. This is splashed in Prime Time, which means that there just might be a "there" there.

Looks like the fit is about to hit the shan.

Part of the PR campaign?

[FreedomPoster]

Please let this document dump contain the juicy stuff we all know is out there.

[DCPatriot]

Now for years, we'll be bombarded by conflicting "valid" documents contradicting the administration.

There's no IBM Selectric II to save our butts this time.

[vbmoneyspender]

Bush is good. He said this was going to get done a couple of days ago with Pence and now he's got it done.

[Yardstick]

Stephen Hayes must be turning cartwheels in his office right about now!

[Frank_N_Sense]

Hillary's billable hours at the Rose law firm?

[Siena Dreaming]

This can't be. Freepers said Bush was inept and wasn't able to get this done.

And the Bush-bashing Freepers are always right, aren't they? Aren't they?

[TexasCajun]

Why now? Why not sooner?

Rope-A-Dopey-Rat?

[Stellar Dendrite]

ahh lets hope theres some info about russia moving saddam's WMDs

[Phsstpok]

Booyeah!!!!

Ping everyone you know. So far no further details

We need to push for a "Buckhead" type examination of these papers. Who knows reliable Arabic translators? Who can marshal WMD and other military analysts. I will ping my few resources. What do you have to bring to the effort?

This could be the most important event in the history of the new media. It could also be a blind alley if all that is being released is innocuous crap. We need to figure that out quickly.

[Republican Red]

My theory:

The Bush administration has been protecting its "allies" in the War on Terror, namely Russia. It did no good for them to out Russia because we needed their cooperation in other world matters.

Just today Russia states they are against UN economic sanctions against Iran. Magically the documents are released.

[the anti-liberal]

Will there be any reference to Russia? How much will be redacted? Some questions to ponder...

Facts known are growing more numerous, and from reputable sources, but they now include:

• That the United States has uncovered some 12 hours of Saddam Hussein palace audiotapes – since authenticated by FBI methodology – with discussions by familiar voices like Tariq Aziz and others including Saddam himself about what to do with their WMD stockpiles and resources.

• That Russian Spetsnaz (special forces) units evidently helped Saddam's military in secreting away – mostly into Syria – WMD that had first been purchased from Russia. Former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense John Shaw recently declared after lots of inquiry that the Russians' goal had been to erase any signs of their involvement in Saddam's WMD programs. On this point, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney has been quoted as believing the Bush administration needs Russia's involvement now in halting Iran's rush toward nuclear armament and so must resist information damning to Russia.

• That two different former high-ranking Iraqi military officers – Gen. Georges Sada, the No. 2 ranking officer with the Iraqi Air Force, and Ali Ibrahim, another Iraqi commander – both assert that that Saddam possessed stockpiles of WMD and transported them out of Iraq by converted 747 passenger jet and by land to be hidden inside Syria.
