Check this out. I think it will be good for your ping lists.
Bush's bogus document dump
The administration seeded its new public archive of Iraq documents with jihadist materials completely unrelated to Saddam.
By Fritz Umbach
While the world has watched claim after claim about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction dissolve like a mirage, the Bush administration has never deviated from one assertion in its shifting case for war: that there was an operational connection between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida. As evidence of the manipulation of prewar intelligence keeps surfacing, the administration has now taken that equally dubious claim and made it virtual.
Lacking evidence of a real-world link between Saddam and the perpetrators of 9/11, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, headed by Bush appointee John Negroponte, has apparently decided to create one in cyberspace -- by seeding its new online Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents archive with suggestive jihadist materials, and by linking the site to an entirely unrelated database of al-Qaida materials.

this is such bull. Election year hogwash.
However, Here it all comes. "Let's blow the people's minds so they vote our way"
Either way, we are in the wrong war. Osama should have gone first and all else second.
I SURE I am not the only one here who feels this way.
What the Dems should have said instead of Hussein has no n-bombs and no plans is "so what? lots of countries have them". Of course completely ignoring Hussein's deep ties to terrorists. I'm not a statistical expert, but from the little I've studied in that area, given Hussein's history a reasonable, sane person would have to assume that he either had a bomb or was working hard to make one.

U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Primer

In Europe, a senior diplomat said atomic experts there had studied the nuclear documents on the Web site and judged their public release as potentially dangerous. Its a cookbook, said the diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of his agencys rules. If you had this, it would short-circuit a lot of things.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Because I've read the IAEA reports about Iraq's nuclear program. If you read further down you'll see that I've quoted them in another post.
The point here is that Iraq DID have a workable design in 2002 and they DID have relationships with terrorists of various stripes.
A scene in from movie Patton. After he beat Rommel in a battle Patton says "Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!
THANK YOU. I forgot about that.
Yes. Though it's not what the NYT thinks. In the end, the bombshell is that Iraq was just 1 year away from a nuke.
...and these fools think there is no God!
My pleasure. Enchante handed me those links earlier today so kudos to him. Her. Them. That FReeper. ;^)
Bush Was Right!
Click and enjoy.

Nice!
Everyone ignores the fact that Saddam was VERRRRRRY close to being freed from the sanctions of the UN. Would he have sold stuff to Usama and others?? You bet!!
bump
"Richard Miniter in 'DisInformation - 22 media myths that undermine the War on Terror' states the following was found in Iraq:
1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium......."
That's funny, because the IAEA clearly stated in their many reports during the Clinton years, that they had REMOVED OR RENDERED HARMLESS ALL ENRICHED URANIUM"
