Looks like the IAEA has been on quite a campaign of disinformation and subterfuge if you ask me!!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3872201.stm
The BBC says it is so ....
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/07/07/iraq.nuclear/
Even the Commie News Network says so ...
"They're reports BY the Iraqis TO the international inspectors, the Iraqis doing what they were required to do, summarizing the nuclear research they did PRIOR to the 1991 Gulf War."
The article does not limit this to prior to the 1991 Gulf War.
One other thing. The Iraqis were supposed to do far more than report or summarize the nuclear research, they were to turn it over to the IAEA, or show proof that they destroyed it. Clearly neither was the case here.
"The Iraqis brought an Iraqi solution to an Iraqi problem, which is precisely the strategy for Iraq."
That can't be. We don't have a strategy for Iraq. Haven't you been listening to the news? /sarcasm.
"But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb."
1. The site was created in March, but these docs were not posted until recent weeks.
2. The GOP leaders urged to get the site created and have documents put out on it.
3. An extremely large number of docs were put on the site in March and shortly after.
4. No docs were put on for several months.
5. The NYTimes and others ignored this site from its inception.
6. Suddenly more docs are put on the site.
7. Suddenly the NYTimes finds docs that were recently put out on the site and makes accusations.
Is it me, or were these docs put out, then pointed out to the NYTimes?
One other thing. From reading the article, it appears that only experience weapons experts are making any waves about this. In other words, if you do not know how to build a nuke, you would not know what these documents had in them. You would not know if they were real or not.
The reason the site was closed down was because the NYTimes let the cat out of the bag regarding the effectiveness of these documents.
Thanks. I saw it!
"To me it reads like they were "a year away" BEFORE the first Gulf War ... not after. Am I reading this wrong?"
Is a nuke that was designed before the Gulf War unable to kill now?
That Brer Rabbit was something else. Who wouldn't love him?
Lets see the NYTimes totally buried the story of the Libyans running a nuclear research program for Saddam even after the Colonel ADMITTED IT and turned over everything to the US, yet you don't believe it could hide another Saddam program?
Don't you think there would have been SOME interest in such a story? Some enterprising reporter would have a great story here but noooo that might help Bush and the GOP. So they are looking at any and every trivial story in depth rather than forego their Treason.
Hoekstra is no friend of the NYTimes.
There are plenty of dumb ideas floating around from people who don't have a clue you aren't alone.
How did the NY Times get a copy of Hoekstra's letter to the President in which Hoekstra complained about Congress getting too little information about domestic surveillance programs?
The letter was plastered on the NY Times website back in July. All the MSM picked up on it.
What does that have to do with being the "friend" of the NY Times? I would call it "using the enemy to undermine itself."
I call it the NY Times and Hoekstra being on the same side using Hoekstra's "confidential letter" to undermine the President and his attempt to keep some intelligence activities away from leaky congress.
How is that the "enemy" being undermined?
Jane Harmon joined in too.
Q:How did the NY Times get a copy of Hoekstra's letter to the President in which Hoekstra complained about Congress getting too little information about domestic surveillance programs?
This information had to be released; it in no way undermines the President rather, it strengthens his case.
