From the Newsdesk of Unforeseen Complications to the Bureau of Unintended Consequences... MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

I believe we have us a victory in disguise, folks. Thanks, New York Times!

Democrats lied (about Bush's motives)

Is John Kerry an advisor for the NY Times?

As long as Saddam had the money, and as long as he was in power he was going to have the money, he could have bought a nuke from Libya, North Korean, or that A.Q. Khan creep.

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?

THANK YOU NEW YORK TIMES! I didn't know you wanted Reps to win after all. Thank you for telling the world Saddam was One Year away from having an ATOM BOMB!

And thank you for confirming we're not moronic idiots for believing it all along!

My take:

http://freedomstruth.blogspot.com/

However, it begs a question - if Saddam's scientists were that close, and those documents were preserved, and they knew what they needed to do to reconstitute the program, and they had the yellowcake (under seals that can be broken, just like Iran did), and they had the money (via the oil-for-bribes scheme) - wouldn't Iraq today be not much different from Iran and North Korea, in posing immediate dangers of acquiring nuclear weapons?

Yes, they would. We don't have a timetable, we don't know when the 'verge of' would have translated into a reality, we just know that it would have happened sooner or later.

This same newspaper exposed the top secret details of our program to monitor Al-Qaeda's banking transactions. Their assertion was that exposing the program didn't help one terrorists in any way.

This same newspaper exposed the details of top secret Al-Qaeda detention facilities. Their assertion was that exposing the program didn't help the terrorists in any way.

This same newspaper treated the president of Iran like a rock star, asserting that his nuclear ambitions were peaceful and/or defensive, and that he did not pose a danger to the United States in any way.

NOW it turns out that the United States exposed the details of Saddam's top secret nuclear program and this newpaper's assertion is that this will provide tremendous aid and comfort to the enemies of America.

...contain charts, diagrams, equations and lengthy narratives about bomb building that the nuclear experts say go beyond what is available elsewhere on the Internet and in other public forums...yeah, like Iran went to the internet and "other public forums" for info on how to build nuclear weapons - we're in big trouble if this is the level of sophistication of our "nuclear experts"......

[elhombrelibre]

And the lie "No War for Oil" is overtaken by the fact that we never stole Iraq's oil. Don't expect the NYT to ever admit that or the Left-wing cranks that said that about Bush or big oil.

Fellow freepers, I have only one simply succinct statement to make regarding this latest special development....

WOOOOOO - HOOOO!!!!

First Kerry, now the New York Times, my goodness what will the hat trick be?

[Question Liberal Authority]

This is also the same newspaper that mocked the very idea of an "Axis of Evil" between Iraq, Iran and North Korea.

Now Irag has been dispatched, and this is supposedly a "distraction" from the nuclear ambitions of both Iran and North Korea.

So Bush was RIGHT about the Axis of Evil and Bush was RIGHT about Iraq having a nuclear weapons program.

"Mohamed ElBaradei, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which ran the nuclear part of the inspections, told the Security Council in late 2002 that the deletions were “consistent with the principle that proliferation-sensitive information should not be released.”

ElBaradei knew all along that Saddam still had the technology but hung us out to dry anyway.

Does anyone else feel like we're watching an incredible football game comeback with this?
