In the New York Times story today that details information on the Stuxnet computer worm that ended up destroying 984 Iranian unranium centrifuges, an interesting “item” pops out.
Not immediately, not in the New York Times. But about half way through the story we find out that President Bush got the Stuxnet started in 2008 with Israel. He even managed to get the cooperation of Germany, Britain and the Saudis. Not bad for someone the world supposedly hated.
Then, near the end of the piece, we find out that we got a lot of material from Libya after it gave up its nuclear program in late 2003. Who was president then? And, a shipment of their machines was sent to our own Oak Ridge laboratory for study.
In 2004 the CIA convened a group of nuclear experts who reccommended a secret test place be devised to work on the project. Evidently, that is what Isreal finally and successfully did.
In 2006, you’ll recall, the New York Times brazenly published the National Security Estimate. It manipulated information from secret sources that undermined GWB’s Iran policy by denying their capabilities.
Fortunately for the world we have gained some time to stop Iran further, thanks to President Bush’s efforts.
Thanks and yay!
It is not difficult to tell the difference between a president that is a patriot and defends and loves his country, and one that hates it, and is working hard to destroy it.
Understatement.
Far cry from the bozo (not to insult bozo’s) sitting in the W.H. !
Gosh I so miss Bush.
And now...5, 4, 3 ,2 ,1....here come the freeper Bush hater posts.
Yes, I noticed both those points.
Bush accomplished a near miracle when he got Libya to give up its nuclear ambitions. First and only time anyone has ever gotten that kind of agreement from a rogue state, which is certainly what Qadaffi was until Bush tamed him.
Now Quadaffi spends his time monkeying around with the ladies in his entourage. But back then, he had lots of troublesome ambitions.
The libtard press, of course, barely noticed this accomplishment, and never gave Bush any credit for it.
Please keep this bumped to the top
Oh dear, just like the anti+Palin Freepers, you have sent out the bat-signal for the Bush-hating Freepers. Prepare for glory!
My dream is for the publisher and the entire editorial board of the NYT to be tried and executed for treason.
What is the NYT??
Not me. I love President Bush. If he had a fault, it was being too good and too hopeful about humanity.
He believed so much in the nation building thing, but those people just ain’t like us.
good points.
Armor on, weapons ready........
FWIW, that info about Libya was thoroughly discussed here when it happened but here is the only place I ever heard about it. In fact, if I recall correctly, the stuff was shipped to Canada......
Ditto. Thanks GWB!!
A propaganda sheet, purporting itself to be America’s newspaper of record, that is not fit to line a bird cage.
I’m with you, altura. I miss having President Bush in office. A president who actually loved his country and its people
I think GWB may have prepared for more of these stealth bombs that will go off under the radar. I sure hope so.
GWB is the greatest president of my lifetime. Yes, including the great Ronald Reagan. Every president is going to have successes and failures, hits and misses, but Dubya’s achievements in the face of extraordinary challenges were really quite remarkable. I pay little attention to the ankle- biters here. They will turn on pretty much anyone eventually, including their current hero, Sarah Palin. Dubya will be remembered and studied long after the ankle-biters and their children’s children’s children have turned to dust.
