IMHO, Barnett is always good at making things seem extremely clear.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, or maybe I'm just one of those dumb vets that Kerry mentioned, but isn't it a "bi-annual" November surprise, as opposed to "semi-annual"?

Rush Limbaugh is saying that when the documents first appeared on the net, the democrats and the moonbat immediately doubted their authenticity.

It's just so typical of them. They demand something, get what they wanted, discount it as fake, hope it goes away, then cheer when it reappears because they've changed position.

A stopped calendar is right twice a year, of course.

The NYT is just looking out for America. Conservatives are always making a big deal out of a info filled story.

Stupid Conservatives. They expect the news to actually report news for news' sake.. Idiots.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Well, the left also questioned the English translations of the documents.

Unless it crosses the event horizion of a black hole, in which case it could be right four times a year.

Wearing my tinfoil hat here: maybe the Grey Lady has read the tea leaves and switched sides so that it can still claim to be relevant by affecting the outcome of the election.

Nah--too sophisticated for them.

Captain Ed Morrissey has an excellent post on the subject:

(He has many embedded links to a lot of important information, so I'll just post the link in stead of the article). Well worth your exploration.

But that ain't no lady.

lol! That's REALLY funny!

Unfortunately, it's relatively simple to build a nuke. The tough part is finding enriched uranium.

Guess these college kids didn't go to Niger on spring break!

That's why the posting of the plans is not as catastrophic as it was made out to be. No, they shouldn't have been posted. But the Times has endorsed the view that these are a grand threat. It's the idea of Saddam's danger that's underlined.

Logic 101. Having these plans makes you a danger. Saddam had the plans. therefore he is a danger.

The Blitherer,


The NY-Times story is pathetic.


ANY knowlegable Mid-East journalist or military intelligence analyst (worth their salt) KNOWS that the Soviets have already given "miniaturized" nuclear-weapon design files to the Iranians, in exchange for Iran's giving the Soviets billions worth of nuclear facility and arms deals.


Privately, I think Iran ALREADY has nuclear weapons, already sitting on selected Shaab-3 missiles ... and are merely "baiting" Isreal to attack with a long, outrageous parade of diplomatic-military provocations.

If it's so dangerous, Iraq should not have had these documents, and Pres. Bush did the right thing.

END of story.

[FreedomNeocon]

Wait-a-minute but Saddam was contained... we had those iron-clad sanctions and oil-for-food program and the UN watching over him. Plus he had no interest in WMD, and had nothing to do with terrorism.

But somehow he had this 'how to build a nuke' primer, was a year away (if he could find a place to purchase yellow cake), housed terrorists (who mysteriously were killed on the eve of the war) and had terrorist training camp, openly paid for Palestinian suicide bombers, etc...

The cognitive dissonance is boggling...

[BigSkyFreeper]

The larger point of the NY Times story is that it showed Joe Wilson to be a friggen liar, and vindicated the Bush administration.

[talleyman]

Since when does the NY Slimes have a problem with revealing (allegedly) sensitive information?

[Suzy Quzy]

It's not a November Surprise....it's a ROVEmber Surprise.

According to an old CNN article, In 2002, the UK declassified Nuke building docs

LONDON, England -- Britain's Ministry of Defence has confirmed it has made public information describing in detail the make-up of a nuclear bomb.

The plans give complete cross-sections, precise measurements and full details of materials used for all the components, including the plutonium core and the initiator that sets off the chain reaction causing the blast. [excerpt]

Thanks to Sturm Ruger for posting the link to the CNN article last night.
