Is this sentence referring to 1990, before the Persian Gulf War? Or 2002, months before the invasion of Iraq? Because "Iraq is a year away from building a nuclear bomb" was supposed to be a myth, a lie that Bush used to trick us into war.

And yet here is the New York Times, saying that Iraq had a "how to manual" on how to build a nuclear bomb, and could have had a nuke in a year.

So it doesn't matter when the plans were known. In 2002 the docs were written. They reflect what Saddam's gov''t knew then.

The antiwar crowd is going to have to argue that the information somehow wasn't dangerous in the hands of Saddam Hussein, but was dangerous posted on the Internet. It doesn't work. It can't be both no threat to America and yet also somehow a threat to America once it's in the hands of Iran. Game, set, and match.

I agree completely. However, you know how the Left loves to live in denial. Rush always plays the MSM montage when they take a word or phrase and beat it into the ground. Today's Lefty watchwords for Iraq will be "containment" and Hussein was "in a box."
