The president needs to hold a news conference and clear this up right now!

[jveritas]

Agree.

"The president needs to hold a news conference and clear this up right now!"

That would not be wise to do(imho)at this time. If the President went out to address this stuff, it would be giving the NYT & the IAEA more 'recognition' than they deserve or warrant with their silly 'reporting' and subterfuge.

The IAEA has probably been being 'looked at' by the highest levels of our intelligence community for quite some time and in time.....the truth will be revealed.

That's my hope and I'm sticking to it...(wink)

Yes. He should arrange for a carefully orchestrated release on this issue. Done right, it could shut down the old grey lady and her fellow conspirators.
This administration has been to quiet in it's defense. Surely with all the stuff now available in the Harmony database and elsewhere, enough points could be hammered at the press corps. to make it clear once and for all Saddam had every intention of building the bomb as well as going forth in new and old wmd programs once the sanctions where lifted.
Their silence continues to bother the hell out of me.
