The New York Times is confirming that in 2002, Iraq was one year away from building an atomic bomb.

Umm, no. It's a poorly written paragraph of the article, but they're not saying Iraq was one year away from having an atomic bomb in 2002 - they mean 1991.

Uh no they could not have meant that. Iraq did not have a workable design for a nuclear weapon in 1992.

Another botched joke incident? How likely is that?
