Bomb-Gate(Ammogate) NY Times Iraqi arms story based on a false letter! (HERE WE GO AGAIN!)
National Review ^ | Cliff May

Posted on 10/26/2004 7:15:43 AM PDT by The G Man

This is a post by NR writer Cliff May on their "Corner" blog at NRO:

BOMB-GATE [Cliff May]

Sent to me by a source in the government:

“The Iraqi explosives story is a fraud. These weapons were not there when US troops went to this site in 2003. The IAEA and its head, the anti-American Mohammed El Baradei, leaked a false letter on this issue to the media to embarrass the Bush administration. The US is trying to deny El Baradei a second term and we have been on his case for missing the Libyan nuclear weapons program and for weakness on the Iranian nuclear weapons program.”

(For the record, I don’t reveal my sources so if that means I end up sharing a cell at Sing-sing with Judy Miller, so be it.) Posted at 10:00 AM

I think the UN doesn't want President Bush to win reelection because they have a lot of dirt they need Kerry to sweep under the rug. I hope they all rot in hell.

Why anyone besides rabid Bush haters would spend money on that rag is beyond me.

No, you're right. Evidently it's not a forgery, just a lie, based on another lie.

As I recall the Times article was an elaborate and lengthy production by several reporters. Too bad they never bothered to check it.

The story does not say forgery, please change the headline.

BTW, the Rather memos were not forgeries. They were fabrications.

Still, a false letter is just as damaging. It means that the Times ran with a story without substantiating the facts. All they would have to do is call the Pentagon and check. Heck, they could have called their buddies at NBC to find out the truth.

It could be faked but authentic.
Or false but true?
Unforged yet phony?

I've asked the mods to delete this one. Let me repost it in a more accurate (but not fake) manner.

And Kerry just took the podium in Green Bay and lambasted "W" for this.

Seems the Senator's INTELLIGENCE is a little slow, or he just doesn't care whether he speaks the TRUTH or not.
