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.

Does this sound like a rerun of a book that you have been recommending.
What is the name of that book again?

...nothing, I repeat nothing, would be good enough. You are exactly right. But it will be amusing to see large crowds of dedicated "peace" lovers with their hands over their ears chanting "I can't hear you, there's no proof, I can't hear you, there's no proof..."

Will they release the intel on the French inspectors collaboration and secret Swiss accounts? That will show real cajones...unless some of our guys were doing the same!

Every anti-war (translated: anti-USA) activist will be telling us that we can't be trusted not to have faked the whole tape. Once again, they will take Saddam's word over Bush's word or that of anyone in his admnistration.
Nothing will ever be enough. But I'm glad to hear it and I hope this means the end of this game is coming soon.

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. |
THE DECISION TO allow Secretary of State Colin Powell to use the electronic intercepts in his speech next Wednesday to the U.N. was described by U.S. intelligence officials as extraordinary. Electronic intercepts by the NSA are considered the most jealously guarded of all U.S. intelligence secrets and government officials are normally loath to even refer to their existence for fear of tipping off targets and drying up invaluable sources of information.
But in this case, officials said, the intercepts are so damning and dramatic that officials say their release outweighs the potential harmespecially given the increased likelihood that the United States will shortly be launching an invasion of Iraq anyway.
Hold onto your hat. Weve got it, said one U.S. intelligence official familiar with the evidence gathered by the NSA.

Elanor Clift is a wind up robot programmed to obfuscate ad finitum about everything. I am sure a pre-programmed stream of liberalisms will spew forth that might fit any situation in which double speak and duplicity is called for.
In other words, the only way to change Elanor's mind is to exchange her current computer chip for a new one.

The NSA also has tapes of Saddam making prank calls to Baghdad pizzerias to send goat cheese and mutton pizzas to the arms inspectors.....
