Just heard of Fox News Alert...no other details.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
What if it contains information on Bagdad Jim McDermott or the warnings that Rockefeller gave to Saddam?
I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for the timing is that the troops are going to start to come home this year, and rather than have them treated like the Vietnam vets, they'll be welcomed as heroes - as they should.
Shumer will crapp his pants, Murtha will put a sock in it, and John Kerry will tell us that one of the documents shows that it was his plan to invade Iraq because he knew Iraq had WMD.
Is there anyway that it will be spun that Russia was helping the war effort by doing this. Afterall, Saddam couldn't use the WMD's on our troops. But, having Syria in possession of WMD's can't be a good spin.
LOL
Please? Oh, please...oh, please....
If you are intending to ping that post, please include me.
I support the President but this should've happenned sooner but better late than never.
Thanks for the ping!
*ping*
You got the wrong picture. Thats where they stored the new Budget.
"I think you may have been measuring wrong."
to paraphrase..(grin).."don't use your rode to measure this crap....It's too small and I can't count that high."
...sorry..just had to say it..best line hollywood(Jarhead) came out with this year...lol. Not sure what to make of this 'release' of info on the matter. To me..it looks like weakness..i suspect it looks like weakness to our enemies as well at this point. But..u (we)..asked for it and now we have it. Are we happy yet? Enough to bump up Bush's poll numbers..or are we a bunch of fair weather friends making assumptions on info that we think we think can do a better job of interpretation of the arabic language than the professionals?
I am not so sure of this 'strategery' anymore....it looks lame now that the Whitehouse has tossed it out here. It makes them look incapable of dealing with it and the dems will play it to their advantage. But..it seems a few of us have a 'suicide' mission: "Let's destroy the party....maybe Ross Perot will come and lead us again.." (rolling eyes)....
Hell..maybe we can make milk toast Frist our nominee..YIPPEE!!! Better yet..let's go with a real 'bomber'....McLame!!! Yea..that's the ticket!!
(rolling eyes)
There aren't any articles about this at all it seems like on their release.
I am surprised even the liberal media is ignoring this.
nothing on the Fox news website either.
33 percent. That is beyond horrible.
I read this number in an article here this morning some time. The only reason I mentioned it was because it was low. I can't even remember what the article was. I haven't heard it reported on FNC.
I saw Stephen Hayes being interviewed by Paul Gigot and Stephen had some very interesting things to say. There's a thread here on FR about it, but from the things Stephen said, there is definitely a "there" there.
And .. it also makes the definite connection between Iraq and the terrorists. Evidently there is evidence that 8000 were in Iraq in training in the year prior to the war starting in March of 2003.
So .. two of the dems LIES - no WMD and no connection have been shot to smithereens.
Okay folks...here is the deal and why I have been confused a bit I guess.
The documents were not released today, but the WH announced they are PREPARING to do so.
I believe it was Pence and Peter Hoekstra who pushed for this and Bush was not kidding when he told them to expedite their release.

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration on Monday said it was preparing to release prewar Iraqi government material from a trove of documents and tape-recordings captured after the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
The office of U.S. intelligence chief John Negroponte decided in recent days to fund a review and release process for an estimated 48,000 boxes of documents and hundreds of recorded conversations, including many involving Saddam Hussein himself, officials said.
The material, removed from Iraq to Qatar, has already been reviewed by the CIA's Iraq Survey Group and continues to be scrutinized for intelligence by the U.S. military, officials said.
But officials said Negroponte's Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, is expected to move quickly to release as much of the material as possible.
"The ODNI is committed to expediting the review and release of the materials," a Negroponte spokeswoman said.
The news was greeted with enthusiasm by U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, who has strongly urged the administration to release the material.
He suggested some of the information could shed light on prewar U.S. intelligence reports that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction.
The WMD allegation provided President George W. Bush with a central justification for the war in Iraq. But no such weapons have been found, and the Iraq Survey Group discovered no new evidence of WMD in its review of the prewar material.
"With so many questions about prewar Iraq unanswered, I'm glad to see there is finally the sense of urgency to get this done," Hoekstra said in a statement."
