Newsweek ^ | January 31, 2003 | Michael Isikoff and Michael Hirsh

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.

For the brave Americans who bear the risk, no victory is free from sorrow. This nation fights reluctantly, because we know the cost and we dread the days of mourning that always come. We seek peace. We strive for peace. And sometimes peace must be defended. A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats is no peace at all.

It is well known that Hezbollah has operated in Gaza and the West Bank for years, but the recent revelation by the Shin Bet in Israel that al- Qaida has now also joined them there, is chilling evidence of a level of cooperation previously unsuspected.

You could slam Eleanor Clift's head several times onto an Iraqi nuke and she still wouldn't accept that they exist.

Apparently I'm less cynical and pessimistic than you. I would be happy to give it a full trial, and I wouldn't stop at "several times" either!

From the full article:

“I’m all for it,” said Rep. Jane Harman of California, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. “It’s very important to have popular and multinational support for this effort.” Harmon said the administration’s body of evidence, which has been shared with the intelligence committees, is strong enough that it will accomplish that purpose. If so, Harmon said, she was still hopeful that Iraq would be forced into compliance and war could be averted.

Good for her. Her position is closely in line with Bush; eg. that Saddam would comply, and war be averted.

Time will tell if significant numbers of democrats echo her recognition, that Saddam has failed to comply, to disclose, to disarm.

Iraq has been given sufficient "chances" and soon the hammer will drop. Sadly, some innocent civilians will die.

That blood rightly belongs to Saddam and his top henchmen; as does the failure to feed and medicate the citizens, from oil sales revenues, under UN sanctions.

Colin Powell has played his role effectively, and next weeks he will have the world stage, to detail the folly of Iraq's games. At that point, anybody still calling for yet more appeasement will look like fools.

Too bad it couldn't happen closer to elections.

"Once again, they will take Saddam's word over Bush's word"

Is that amazing or what?

The question is real simple:

One of these men is the constitutionally elected president of the United States, and the leader of the free world, and the other is a despot and a murderer of his own people who invaded a neighboring country without warning a few years ago.

One of them is lying.

It really shouldn't be all that difficult to figure this out.

Once you do that, then your only argument against war has to be that we have the moral obligation to allow this man to murder a whole bunch more people before we feel that our involvement is justified.

Demonstrable:

Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.

I guess the anti-war people would rather have the inevitable death of several thousand (or tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands) more innocent people on their collective conscience, than the overthrow of one oppressive, murdering, tin-pot dictator.

Same missile, but I would be attacking an entirely different section of the body.

We've got more on them than that. No 'smoking gun', perhaps, but enough circumstantial evidence to choke a blue whale. I can't wait to see what they decide to declassify.

More like Issy tried to suppress the story that he had for a very long time, until he was forced to go with it after other news groups started reporting it.
