The way I read this is, "the incompetent Bush Administration" put documents on the Internet telling people how to make a nuclear bomb. I think that's the point the slimes is trying to make. I don't think this is a good thing.


I think this COULD be a good thing! The NYTs can't see past there urges to slam Bush to the unintended consequences this may very well create!

This goes to VERY BIG -- the BIGGEST of the -- issues about the WHOLE IRAQ WAR -- did Saddam have active WMD programs.

The NYTs is saying yes -- to the WORLD.

Otherwise it would have just been JVeritias (sorry about spelling) would be the only one saying it the FAR less public quarters of Free Republic.... Did he have a nuke bomb program...YES HE DID!

Have you seen this old post? It seems he went so far as to test a device. There were quite a few casualties.

OK-so if they are so in a wad about the documents showing the nuke program they are going to have to give equal weight to the documents that show he had a WMD program and when those documents are dated.

If anything, they have given notice to ALL the documents and their contents.

I've place my orders for tomorrow.

For the NYT, Lefties:

[slapshot]

Listening how media is currently reporting this story (crikets chirping )on ABC CBS radio feeds as well as yahoo and msn indicates it is a positive story confirming wmd program. Compare and contrast to first minutes Foley, Bush DUI, Iraqi ammo dump, negative stories broke.

"This goes to VERY BIG -- the BIGGEST of the -- issues about the WHOLE IRAQ WAR -- did Saddam have active WMD programs.

Others are pointing out that NYTimes likely never intended its statements to say 'active', and our own Kay report indicated that the nuke program was dormant in 2003. HOWEVER ... What is compelling is the point that NYTimes is saying that at one point in the past, Saddam was "on the verge", and with this info its hard to get get back "off" the verge if you ever reconstitute the program.

Anyone who thinks about it knows it makes sense, but alas the liberal MSM has got the "no WMDs" drumbeat pounding for so long, people assume that means "no threat". Wrong.

even if the program was dormant - the threat was there, ready to become an imminent threat at the time of Saddam's choosing.

Conclusion: WE DID THE RIGHT THING TO REMOVE SADDAM HUSSEIN.
Despite the violence in the new democratic Iraq, despite the "mess", despite the cost, we are better off removing Saddam's threat and turning an Arab coutnry from a dictatorship to a democracy.
