Hello,

LOL! Either there is more (spin) to the story, or the NYT has gone totally can't-think-at-all-nuts. Even further than they have gone before, which is pretty far.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

I agree w you. I also think it's a bit *curious* that Stretch Pelosi (who had an Amber alert issued for her by Rush) and Dingy Harry have been almost totally silent for sometime now and, all of a sudden, they send a letter to the President today about the military. Coinky dinky - possibly, but call me cynical.

Don't know if this has anything to do w the NY Slimes (hit) piece, but this could also prove to be interesting:

Yeah I know. I think perhaps they are going to do some sort of rebuttal of the NYT's article, or another interpretation of the information, much like we are doing right now.

Well, it is on Drudge now.

The NYT just attempted to slam the govt as incompetent in revealing Saddam's plans for the big bomb on the govt webstie.

They hope we won't notice and comment,,,What plans? What bomb?

--I can understand the spin they are trying to put on it, but if it is as it appears...wow. This should be interesting.--

Not only that; there were oodles of info on Iraq - AlQaeda links on that site (many repeated thanks to JVeritas for the translations!).

NYT is trying to SPIN the nuke aspect of the pre-war docs only. The MSM will be exposed as the partisan idiots they are, for ignoring the Iraq - terrorism links on the site. That's an even STRONGER rationale for the Iraq invasion.

Even better, IF Iran was using the site, then the IP addresses of the computers used to access it were being recorded by our government!!

Set up web site maybe. No way our people would put out something that wasn't carefully checked or maybe planted there for a reason with false info.

hell, the leftist media has the sheeple believing that iraq didn't even have a can of Raid in the entire country before the war - much less WMD and nukes.

Only a halfwitted beaureaucrat like Mohammed El Baradei and his sidekick, Hans Brix, could believe that keeping old Iraqi bomb documents off the web would prevent the Persians from concentrating all their efforts to build 60 year old technology. Here's proof:

The Bomb Assembly Building on Tinian: Navy Commander Frances Burch, senior officer in charge of bomb assembly, paints the "L-11" insignia on the "Little Boy" uranium bomb as Dr. Norman Ramsey, attached to Project Alberta, looks on.

My point is simple: this is sixty-year old techology. The notion that Iran could somehow have taken a shortcut by looking at Iraqi documents is foolish.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Yes...there is a slight aroma in the air...do I detect a whiff of a now-out-of-control sequence of unfolding events re the great NYT? The story must out, but lo the surprise awaiting beyond yon door. The NYT opens the door, the trap is sprung! Do you think....? ( I know, not great prose, but can you forgive me if I gloat a little?).

Posting in all caps makes people run about, jump down and up... you know...

I know. It's very annoying and rude. Ususally folks who do this are about 200 years old.

the kids post in all lowercase and do not use any punctuation. thats because their mindset is focussed on instant messaging and often don't know the difference between their and there or theyre or to two or too

...Among the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990’s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away...

Yeah, this really hurts...

the Dems!

Link in Drudge Statement

That link helps to explain why the government set up the program to release documents.

NYT and IAEA slam Bush in pre-election meaneuver



Not for the first time, the IAEA is teaming up with the New York Times to embarrass Bush on the even of an election. I seem to recall that the International Atomic Energy Agency (a United Nations Agency known by the acronymn “IAEA”) had previously tried an election eve gambit (also with the cooperation of the NYT) . Specifically, the IAEA claimed that negligence on the part of the US led to the looting of tons of high explosive in Iraq. Supposedly, under US guard, these explosives had gone missing. The Pentagon was later able to deflate this “expose” by showing that the Hussein regime had already moved this stockpile of explosives before the invasion by coalition forces. Back then, the UN was accused of meddling in the US Presidential election; now it and its partner The New York Times is once again attempting to influence American elections by casting aspersions on the competency of a Republican Administration.

U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Guide

By WILLIAM J. BROAD

Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who said they hoped to “leverage the Internet” to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.

But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

Last night, the government shut down the Web site after The New York Times asked about complaints from weapons experts and arms-control officials. A spokesman for the director of national intelligence said access to the site had been suspended “pending a review to ensure its content is appropriate for public viewing.”

Certainly there’s no love lost beween the Bush Administration and Mohammed El-Baradei, the feckless leader of the IAEA, that the Administration had hoped to replace after his term expired. The New York Times, true to form, has used its franchise for partisan purposes.
