How did we win World War II with the New York Times around?

See the book recommended on my FR page for that answer.

Title is wrong. The US did not have plans for a strike.
Just counterinsurgency plans.

Bush made a huge mistake by not allowing Israel the right to fly over Iraq. He made a bigger mistake by not following up on his “I will never allow Iran to make nuclear warhead material while I am in office.”

The NYT doesn’t strike me as the problem so much as some very loose lipped people in the government. I’m guessing the Iranians probably knew before the Times ever did.

They probably held the story until the end of the Bush admin so that they’d be certain they’d not be prosecuted.

The liberal media didn’t have anywhere near a monopoly back then. Plus, FDR was one heck of a communicator. Bush isn’t.

...Fox News “reporting” baloney for the New York Times. That’s no surprise, either.

NYbankrupslimes is a propaganda rag. Israel will do what they want to do. They will fly over Iran and nobody will stop them. I hope they do it before 1/20. I think 1/19 would be a very good day to just scoot on over to Iran and take out their nuclear. Rain on zer0’s parade. he will have a breakdown.

Ok. Let me get this straight. The NY Slimes is disclosing deep covert operations to destabilize Iranian nuclear assets. Sure glad I'm not in the field in Iran tonight!

"How did we win World War II with the New York Times around?"

Clearly, the President had more resolve than any member of the Bush family.

And more respect for our allies.

In the interest of cutting to the chase, President George W. Bush is on the record as having stated as recently as this past December 5th, “America will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon”.

As it is not possible for our current President to know or guarantee what his successor will do regarding this issue, the bottom line is that George W. Bush effectively has eight days to neuter Iran’s nuclear weapons program, or he goes down in history as nothing but a limp dick who talked the talk, but couldn’t walk the walk.

That’s it. It’s time for GWB to fish or cut bait.

The New York Slimes has already filed for some sort of bankruptcy protection, I believe. None too soon!

answer: General Patton who wasn’t afraid to tell treasonous scum like those who currently work at the NY Times to shove it up their backsides.

LOL the Times only hates Republican and Conservative Presidents....

If Obama wants to launch WWIII the Times will run the War PR campaign. Starting with Loose Lips Sink Ships.
