Yellowcake and yellow journalism (ann coulter)

World Net Daily ^ | February 7, 2007 | Ann Coulter

But on "Hardball," the forged documents that no one in the U.S. government saw until eight months after Wilson's trip now form the very impetus for the trip. A perfectly plausible theory, provided you have a working time machine at your disposal.

Another plausible theory is that Wilson/Plame were in on the forgery, and thats how he knew about it ahead of time.

If I were him, I'd stick with the "I mispoke" defense.

"With regard to the rest of the WMD claims, I've always suspected that we didn't *want* to prove that there were chemical and biological weapons anywhere in the the thousands of munitions depots spread around Iraq. Do that, and suddenly its a race against time to find them before Al Queda does."

An excellent point, and a reason I had never thought of until you mentioned it. If so, I wonder how many other Bush 'meekness' problems could also be related directly to these security issues.

Yet another excellent column by Ann Coulter. She informs and zings in one fluid motion. Oftentimes, I’m challenged to keep up. Case in point:

By now, everyone believes Saddam was seeking yellowcake from Niger – the CIA, the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, Lord Butler's report in Britain, even the French believe it.

O.K. Those people who examined the written report based on Wilson’s oral brief learned that Iraq sent a trade mission to Niger. Niger’s major export is Uranium. Is that it? Or is there more that I don’t know about?

Chris Mathews is a partisan hack! His show is about as balanced as was “All in the Family” another liberal Democratic fraud on the American people.

I have another challenge to the Democratic Party / MSM story line:

Item:
PUBLIC LAW 107–243—OCT. 16, 2002 AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ RESOLUTION OF 2002

Item:
President Delivers "State of the Union" January 28, 2003. This includes the famous 16 words, that allegedly lie us into war.

Considering these dates. How did the President “lie” us into war? Do we need a time-machine for this one?

I admit, I am just an amateur, so I’ve probably missed something. If you can spot an error in my reasoning, please share (in public or private, as you will).

[ChessExpert]

never mind that the U.S. military removed over 500 tons of yellowcake from Iraq after the fall of Baghdad.

My recollection (always a little suspect) is that Saddam was allowed a set amount of uranium. He was not allowed additional purchases. I think it was about 500 tons. Why? I can’t say.

It is a little like the rounds of artillery shells with chemical warheads (Mustard gas, and Sarin? or VX?). We’ve found many rounds in the last four years. I can no longer remember the numbers.These are generally dismissed as being older rounds reflecting pre-sanction production.

All of this is pretty technical in that people can argue so much was O.K. but not more. Sorry if I've murked things up.

The bottom lines for me are:
Saddam used chemical weapons against the Kurds and Shias in his own country and against Iran. He had WMDs - he used them.
He had enough uranium for dirty bombs (unless it needed refinement?).
He had chemical artillery rounds when we arrived - each one capable of doing great harm.
He supported terrorism. I might provide examples, but I want to watch Lost.

BTTT!

This is so wrong it's not even wrong. It's not 180 degrees off the truth – it's more like 3 times 8, carry the 2, 540 degrees from the truth. Shuster has twisted Wilson's original lie into some Frankenstein monster lie you'd need Ross Perot with a handful of flow charts to map out in full.

Another classic Coulter!

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

[smoothsailing]

But the 1.8 tons of lightly enriched stuff is interesting too.

Here's confirmation from the U.S. Dept.of Energy's website:

U.S.Removes Nuclear and Radiological materials

You are not missing a thing except you should watch Glenn Beck. He is worth the trip to the loser station.

[JasonC]

She's on again. Excellent column, much better than her recent previous offerings.

[Christian4Bush]

bttt

[CyberAnt]

I believe you're correct.

[Lancey Howard]

I love Ann but I sometimes wish she wouldn't waste her talent on useless garbage like MSNBC.
I mean, who still watches that pack of lying scum anyway?

[ozzymandus]

Tee-hee. No wonder the RATS hate Ann so much. One skinny girl beats them all up at once. Every time I see her on FOX, the RATS she's debating don't do anything but try to shout her down. If Hannity had a pair, he'd tell colmes to STFU and let Ann talk for 30 seconds without interrupting.

[7thson]

The one thing that continually dismays and disgusts me is that nobody talks what Afghanistan would be like today if Saddam was left in place and we never went in Irag.

Oh yeah - here you go -

[7thson]

Excellent points. It somewhat reminds me about reading of the Nixon-Kennedy race of 1960. Kennedy continually spoke of a missile gap between us and the Soviets, yet he knew that was untrue. He got the same briefings as Nixon yet the Nixon campaign and the Ike Administration could not say anything without tipping off the Soviets about what they knew.

I think it is the same now. These leftists in the Senate know what is up, yet continually spread lies knowing the Bush Administration cannot show their hand without tipping off the terrorisits.

In conclusion - they are a bunch of scumbags!

"You are not missing a thing except you should watch Glenn Beck. He is worth the trip to the loser station."

I recently heard about him. For the first time, I watched him last night. He's good. I need to watch more of him to get a sense of whether or not he is consistent and credible.

What's your take on Glen Beck?

[Rosemont]

MSDNC is pathetic. The only thing worse than the liberal lunatics on that channel are the washed up House "Conservatives" that do their bidding for them. Maybe RINO Carlito Amnesty Hagel will end up with a show on that network after the next election.

[demkicker]

I think you mean the washed up Senate "Conservatives". Hagel is a U.S. Senator (gag).

[kellynla]

Ouch!

"Better put some ice on that or it's gonna leave a mark."

AC "bitch slaps" MSNBC.
