Now that this part of the tape has Hussein and his cohorts swearing up and down they don't have anything, they're all over it. Nowhere does this guy mention the other hours of the tape that state that they're ready to resume their program on Hussein's order!
F-ing MSM!!!
Infuriating MSM spin. An obvious attempt to deflect from the revelations from the released Iraq documents.
Right. And these guys can be trusted?! They lied at every turn to UN inspectors.
Who cares....it's out of the bag and it ain't goin' back into the bag. They lose we win.
We really live in horrible times for our nation.
"It ended in 2004, when U.S. experts, after an exhaustive investigation, confirmed what the men in those meetings were saying: that Iraq had eliminated its weapons of mass destruction long ago, a finding that discredited the Bush administration's stated rationale for invading Iraq in 2003 — to locate WMD."
A major failure, IMO, with the war effort has been to underline the need for WMD transparency.
The fact that Hussein's regime had no large arsenal is irrelevant. The unknown, the *threat* of it, existed, and the regime acted as if it had something to hide.
Due to the outcome of the Gulf War, there was the right to demand open door access. Playing games with inspectors is equivalent to having WMD.
Funny no articles on the documents showing Saddams connection to terrorists and the ones that hint at use of WMD.
What the hell did we bomb in 1998?
They are laughing at your frustration. The MSM has America by the short hairs and they know it. What is really confusing is that when democracy fails, the first to fall is the media. Why then are they chopping down their own tree? I may be a bit paranoid but we should begin looking into who exactly owns the MSM in this country. I'll bet you find a money trail that leads outside the country.
PING!
That's why the Documents are on the Net for all to see ... and an army of translators are going to go through these and provide the truth. The old media still has not awakened to the news of their own demise.
We should have known the MSM would use "selective" sourcing for any reporting on these documents.
This article was written by the ghost of Lewis Carroll.
Amazing how many of our own citizens can't wait to try to prove the innocence of our enemy and one of history's most brutal dictators.
Was it the aspirin factory or the Chinese embassy... one of the two foreign policy "successes" of the previous administration.
Even if the spinners were correct, that Saddam had no WMD...
Walk into a bank with your hand in your pocket, stick your finger into the pocket so it projects toward a teller, then say "Gimme your money". Do NOT take your hand out of your pocket and swing around and face an armed guard and tell him to drop his gun immediately.
Then, when you are laying on the floor bleeding, explain that you really didn't have a gun and its the guard's fault for shooting you.
Thank you!!!
Did AP also write a disclaimer about the accuracy of the tapes?
I guess while they accuse the President of cherry picking intelligence they are going to cherry pick documents?
