OK, thanks! I figured there ought to be a thread about it, should have run a search. Maybe we ought to discuss it on that thread when it breaks. You people decide.

Iraq had not yet come up with a design for a workable weapon in 1991. Try again.No problem. China and Pakistan provided the little details. I refuse to lower myself to name calling.

So what we see in actions taking place all over Iraq is that Iraqis are taking charge of their country, and they're doing it valiantly.
Violence will flare up again in areas that are under Iraqi control. The question will be, can they handle these situations themselves?
In all these incidents they did; they responded and they returned calm to the areas.
The Iraqis brought an Iraqi solution to an Iraqi problem, which is precisely the strategy for Iraq.

The way I read this is, "the incompetent Bush Administration" put documents on the internet telling people how to make a nuclear bomb. I think that's the point the slimes is trying to make. I don't think this is a good thing. If you read the entire NYTimes article you'll find that the documents were posted at the behest of Congressional GOP leaders to prove that Iraq was indeed still trying to create a nuclear weapon which, of course, Iraq, the Times, Hans Blix, the UN, etc. all said Saddam Hussein was not doing. This story is clearly a liberal spin job and we are led to believe that the only documents on the website were these that are helpful to Iran. Of course, these documents would be helpful to any entity but the Times says helpful to Iran because there's more bang for the liberal buck that way.
Trust me when I tell you this pre-election surprise is a flat-out bust. The Times knows it and that's why they waited until Friday to run it.

Doesn`t matter when this was written nor if the UN had them. The Iraqis had them. That`s all the justification Bush needed, especially for the next 5 days.

Is this revelation not consistent with David Kay's report on the status of Iraq's nuclear weapons program?

It will be Thursday or Friday of next week before this story gets untangled. Until then most of the country is going to think the NYTs said Saddam had nukes.
Some October surprise!

Captured during the war. First line of the article.
It's a weird article, so I can sort of see how people are hopefully twisting it, but the strange thing, as I see it that is really confusing people (and which isn't made clear till the end of the article is this:
The documents that were made public that the proliferation experts are upset about were Iraqi reports MADE AT THE REQUEST OF IAEA INSPECTORS about their pre-1991 nuclear program.
It SEEMS that what was "captured" was the Iraqi copies of these reports they had given to the IAEA (of which the details and technical diagrams they didn't make public themselves) and then these were what was posted on the internet.

NY Times and the IAEA are lying about it being "how to build the bomb" and I bet they are more worried about something more damaging that hasn't been published yet. Why would Iran go a US Government website when they can just go to Amazon.com?

The Iraqis had a nuclear weapons program in 1991. This story reveals that the Iraqis cooperated with the IAEA inspectors in making a report on what they had accomplished in that pre-1991 program.

Jim Geraghty:
"I think the Times editors are counting on this being spun as a "Boy, did Bush screw up" meme; the problem is, to do it, they have to knock down the "there was no threat in Iraq" meme, once and for all. Because obviously, Saddam could have sold this information to anybody, any other state, or any well-funded terrorist group that had publicly pledged to kill millions of Americans and had expressed interest in nuclear arms. You know, like, oh... al-Qaeda."

That Iraq was very close to a nuclear weapon just before Gulf War I has been very well known for quite some time now.
