EXCLUSIVE: Bush administration to release tapes that could incriminate Iraq.

Jan. 31 — The Bush administration is preparing to release supersensitive electronic intercepts obtained by the National Security Agency that officials say prove that Iraq has repeatedly lied to United Nations inspectors, plotted among themselves about how to conceal weapons material and even appeared to boast afterward at their success in doing so, NEWSWEEK has learned.

LOL!!!! Spinning away while the clock goes tick, tick, tick!

What's "gone," exactly? The NSA listening posts are located across the globe. Everyone knows about them. There are, in this case, no intelligence assets on the ground to worry about. By revealing these transcripts, the only thing we're admitting is that Echelon... works.

I beg your pardon, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

[MeekOneGOP]

ha ha ! Live and learn, I guess...

[MeekOneGOP]

#64 tells it all...

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep, and if the bad guys slip one in, it'll be
'What did he know, and when did he know it?'...

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, yeah.

[MeekOneGOP]

Bad Boy!

We will have to lash you with a wet editorial page from the Compost!

40 lashes sounds about right for this serious infraction.

LOL! Whip me ! Beat me ! Call me trash ! lol...< /humor >

[For the Unborn]

Is this the evidence that ABCNews.com claims is "weak at best"?

[MeekOneGOP]

You know, I have a feeling we won't need to look for everything once we have conquered. Somehow I am guessing the scientists in Iraq will be MORE than happy to give us a tour!

Exactly right. Then, once we have done to SADdam and Gang what we did to the Taliban in Afghanistan, we'll see history repeat itself. They'll be dancin' in Iraq...

We're ultimately going to go in and hope to find a "smoking gun" afterward.

Yes. And the smoking gun will have a label that says: "Made in France, Germany, N. Korea, China"

I liked Eleanor Clift better back in the 1970's , when she was Alice Cooper.

Isn't splitting an atom basically the same thing as giving a DemoRat a lobotomy?

[MeekOneGOP]

No problemo!

Thanks. And just for the record, my fingers knoweth not what my brain telleth (so to speak)...

...or I wouldn't have done posted full text.

[MeekOneGOP]

Sure, FRiend. You're on now. Thanks...

And - they will be debunked as "doctored" or, unreliable. You could write the responses now, just like the Dims prior to the SOU address. The apologists,commies and appeasers break the same bread with the DIMS.

I think they have pictures of Osama at the Bagdad Motel 6 playing canasta with Scott Ritter

Or chatting with 13 yr olds on the net?

[Not now, Not ever!]

Bump as a bookmark.

Leave the personal slams out of the conversation.

People can't help how they look! However, they can educate themselves - she does not care to know the truth.
