There goes most of the Democrat talking points for the 2006 election cycle. They put all their eggs in the "Bush lied" basket and now all this comes out.

Thanks for allowing translations by jveritas to be posted in breaking news. This could be the event that drives yet another stake in the MSM.
Dr. Laurie Mylroie BTTT!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
What does CAS mean, if you please?
It doesn't get much better than this Ping...
Dr. Laurie Mylroie in the Wall Street Journal
Sounds like Sadaam was aiding the Taliban, and the Taliban were Al Queda's base. Case closed.
Ping to an expert's view: it's Dr. Mylroie writing in the Wall Street Journal. Joe Crummey interviewed Dr. Mylroie a few times when he was still on KABC and before he defected to a Clear Channel Arizona station.
Ping to a Dr. Laurie Mylroie editorial in the Wall Street Journal.
mark for later.
Evenin' Jim.
Sent the following letter to the Mod Bee earlier today. Waiting once again to be published...
Well , well, well. What do we have here?
A recently translated Iraqi document reveals that Russia forwarded US troop movements to Saddam Hussein (ModBee, March 25, pg. A-3) prior to the invasion. As one might expect, Russia later denied the allegations.
The article itself prompted a search on the WWW for more document translations. Imagine my surprise to read that other documents reveal that Iraq and Al Qaeda held meetings as early as 1995. How can this be? The media has been telling us for 3 years that there is no connection between the Saddam Hussein regime and Al Qaeda.
Even 9/11 Omission Commission Commissioner Bob Kerrey says "a recently declassified Iraqi account of a 1995 meeting between Osama bin Laden and a senior Iraqi envoy presents a 'significant set of facts,' and shows a more detailed collaboration between Iraq and Al Qaeda."
I suppose now the Modesto Bee will be inundated with letters to the editor from those Bush-bashers, who over the past three years have parroted the cry, "Bush Lied – There is no connection between Al-Qaeda and Saddam", with letters stating, "I was wrong – Bush was right!"

Many more documents are to be released in the coming months. Quite possibly, they will vindicate the decision to undertake the Iraq war; help maintain public support for fighting it; and radically change our understanding of Saddam's role in international terrorism.
I wonder.
In a fair world this would certainly be true. There is no question that FR, the blogs, talk radio and Fox News will cover this story in great depth. But the reaction of the MSM will certainly be to try to ignore and/or discount the credibility of the documents and to play down the story anyway they can. I don't expect them to stop calling Bush a liar anytime soon.
I believe that this will be a real test of the power of FR and blogs the real media. We may have another "Rather Moment" on our hands if the public can see through the fog that the MSM will lay down and recognize that they have been lied to for three long years. Time will tell. I'm hopeful but not confident.
The left blew off the Verona Papers. They'll try to ignore this as well.
