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.

Actually, I'm letting you get the full credit for this great book. Thanks to you, a lot of us have found and read this book.

The parallels between what the Imperial Japanese did from Canada to South America re espionage, treason and potential terrorism did pre War II and in other areas is very similiar to the Opecker financed Islamofascists.

Except it will not take us 60 years to find out about it.

From the Glen Beck radio show today: Saddam has apparently told his AIR FORCE to stand down and not take to the air when the USA begins the LIBERATION of Irak. Instead, says Saddam, he will hold the Iraki air force (snicker....giggle) in reserve to make SUICIDE attacks and spread BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS on the US Forces...is this BOTH planes????

GRRRRRRollin'

Please don't do that! Newsweek is owned by WAPO and we must excerpt only.

Careful. Newsweak may also be intentionally overhyping expectations so they can then claim that Powell's speech was dissappointing and that there was no "smoking gun". I still remember the media and the whole Impeachment saga.

Other officials cautioned, however, against viewing the intercepts as the long-sought “smoking gun” in the search for Iraq’s purported stockpile of banned weapons.

Now, the search is on for a smoking gun in Iraq the piece of gotcha evidence proving that country has weapons of mass destruction.

As the United States teeters on launching a war against Iraq, its allies and the public see the smoking gun as critical in giving it a solid basis to attack Saddam Hussein.

I think with Iraq, it's a GAME. They play the Shell Game in hiding their WMD...


But once we get into Iraq, we will uncover the shell which hides the 'pea' - the WMD...


Bang !...there's your smoking gun !...

Isn't Isikoff the reporter who broke the Lewinsky story?

The only problem with this is protecting sources. I guess by the time we're finished with Hussein, there won't be any sources left...

If the intercepts named the items being moved or hidden and those items were significant, I might agree to tipping our hand as to tech capabilities. If this report is accurate, I'm not sure the revelation will be worth the disclosure. Bush has got ot know best here. We'll see.

After Iraq is over, we need to use this tech to capture some audio of the corrupt mexican generals accepting payoffs to help run drugs/illegals into America.

Actually GW and Powell are setting up the UN for another slide into irrelevance.

Powell will present this data and demand a resolution.

Then they will play their usual game of protecting their major donor their Uncle Soddomite.

GW and Tony Blair will present more data and more data until HAJ is over.

Then, it will be over for Saddam, the UN will have soiled its pants again and again while sinking lower into the cesspool of political irrelevance.

Eleanor Clift will never change her mind.
Remember, if she had a nose job it'd be considered a hysterectomy.
Saddam Hussein could be sodomizing her, and the liberal idiot wouldn't change her mind..
That's how lost in her own world she is.
Better to give her an lsd drip and close the door to her room.

But other than that, COOL. Let's go get Saddam.
