The question has been asked repeatedly...Why has the Bush admin been so reticent to trumpet the translations of the Iraqi docs? These documents vindicate the Admin to a large extent, yet they're hardly mentioning them. Why?
The answer, I believe, is the extent to which these documents are going to implicate Russia and "Pootie Poot". It appears that the admin is of the opinion that Russian co-operation is needed to nail Iran...that co-operation does not appear to be forthcoming at present...
Is the evidence accumulated in Iraq the weapon of choice to force Russian compliance or co-operation?
You raise a good point. In fact, we have heard GWB and Condi say all the time how history will prove we did the right thing. I'm certain those documents reveal much, but the Bush administration must truly believe that releasing them now would ultimately do more harm than good. So what does Bush do? In true Bush style, he keeps them under wraps at the personal expense of his popularity (at least in the MSM).
