US 'misread Saddam's order'

"the Foreign Affairs magazine reported in its online edition this week."

I get the feeling that Foreign Affairs magazine has the slant of Atlantic Monthly, or Harpers or the WaPo and the SUN.

Well, the internet has gone a long way to eroding the MSM stranglehold on information. In the past, they only had to ignore a story in order to kill it. Now, the 'net allows for fast communication of material. This also one reason why the left has tried to regulate the internet or propose taxes on it - the want to kill it or make it a clone of the MSM.

"Shh... Don't talk about the nerve agents on the radio. The Americans might be listening."

[VOA]

bump

[eureka!]

Yep. That and talk radio. We'd be seeing a second term Al Gore (or 1st term Kerry) without them...

Just fu_king great... here we are thinking those newly, translated documents were going to shed some light on pre-3/2003 Iraqi activity... and we get this sh_t!

[Squantos]

Some really poor excuse for SPIN for ya to read !!

[Army Air Corps]

Spin ping.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

That sounds about right.

Yeah...and I'm sure that the Russians who were in Iraq months prior to the war were also just helping Saddam comply--as they moved their incriminating material out of that country.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks. No Comment on this BS.

[Grampa Dave]

fyi

[Coop]

According to this report, Saddam was insisting that full access be given to weapons inspectors "in order not to give President Bush any excuses to start a war".

Yeah, mmmm hmmmm. Sure. And John Kerry is an American war hero.

[MizSterious]

And so the spinning begins...

(Or maybe I should say "continues...")

[Paleo Conservative]

The Iraqis had the burden of proof to show that they were in compliance with the cease fire agreement of 1991 in order to avoid having hostilities restart.

[MizSterious]

This particular one is the state of Aussie media--this is an Australian paper.

[Army Air Corps]

My mistake. The paper's title is the same as a US paper.
However, the Left's hold on many media outlets transcends borders.

[MizSterious]

What do you want to bet that if it's mentioned on H&C at all, the insipid Alan Colmes will quote this pap? (Just pulling one talking head show out of my hat--same applies for all of the ones that are left v. right.)
