I hope its true. If it is Bush has been vindicated and al Kerry is history (down the tube socks).

[Fred Nerks]

OK. Wait....breath....wait....Ok. Anything on any other news outlets?

How reliable is this newspaper...Why would this kind of news come out in a newspaper?

It is one of three newspapers in Iraq that are considered fairly serious

Meanwhile, over at DU...

That story of three nukes found in Iraq has to be total BS...but if they're there, Bush planted 'em to screw up the coverage of the convention...

[Choose Ye This Day]

Are they really saying that?

[ArmstedFragg]

If it is Bush has been vindicated

Well, not really.

If he didn't know they had them, but said they had them, then he still lied. Whether they ACTUALLY had them doesn't matter. (At least, that's my nomination for the spin)

Clinton legacy dead!


What legacy? His legacy will consist of being the horniest president in history....while being married to a lebo.

If the story is true,this will be John Kerry's response:

"This is exactly why I voted for the Iraq war in the first place. Now if I had been president, we wouldn't have taken a year to find these weapons."

The surreal nature of the political battles since last year has raised suspicions that they have been in part just for show.

>>Are they really saying that?

If they aren't now, they will be soon...wouldn't be surprised at all...

Khidhur al-Douri, if this story is true, has decided to "come in from the cold." Running and hiding must have gotten rather tedious.

A standard procedure when defecting is to deliver a "bride price" as part of a negotiated settlement, to ensure that one is not going to go to the gallows or to a small cell for life. Typically defecting spies bring over the most valuable secrets they could steal before flipping sides as their bride price.

Three hidden nukes is a hell of a convincing bride price, if true.

Ouja is near Tikrit. It is Saddam's birthplace. From MSNBC:

Situated along the banks of the Tigris just south of Tikrit, the village of Ouja was once the ultimate bastion of loyalty to Saddam Hussein. Dun-colored villas until recently owned by the dictator's family members, including Saddam's sister and his first wife—mother of his late sons Qusay and Uday—loom along the palm-fringed banks of the Tigris, not far from the hut where the former Iraqi dictator was born more than six decades ago.

Clinton's legacy was enabling Bin Laden and giving China assistance with their missile rocket and guidance technology so they could hit any city in the USA.

That is his legacy to us.

[ambrose]

Wasn't al-Douri Saddam's #2 or #3 man? The redhead?
