The DNC and the Enablers in the Media are having a tough time keeping the Uranium Story alive enough so that the public will listen so they Drag this tawdry old Dame Story Head-line out, rewrite it with some current "has been drips under pressure to perform (expert)" that's had a few recent deck-of-55 names added, and republish it with a new date.

Damned DimoWits and their Media Enablers!!!

Yep, this must mean that the uranium story has lost momentum and they have to think of something else. This will die off quickly too once that news becomes widely known about the newspaper Saddam's son published that the liberal Dem friend-of-Gore found last week, showing a link. It must be driving the White House crazy, having to deal with this incredible hatred from the Dems. It's like the game of whack-a-mole -- just when you solve a problem, something else pops up. We can hope, at least, that the majority of Americans see through this Dem strategy (if you can call it a strategy).

President Bush works to quiet a controversy over his discredited claim of Iraqi uranium shopping in Africa

Who discredited it? Name, please. Blair can conferm it, and he even has more sorces for the same information. At the time it was questionable, but now it's fact.
What uninformed liberal wrote this story? Where have they been all week? This issue is come and gone already and dead in the water. The press must be really bored right now.

"former State Department intelligence official Greg Thielmann."..and the other "source" is unnamed

Sure are credible sources alright. </sarcasm off. Anything starting with "State Department" is suspect, given their leftist history.

DimocRatic "truth" is totally dependent on repetition. Repeat it often enough and the sheeple will swear it's true. sad.

Well, as Jimmah Carter so convincingly expounded this morning in an editorial, we have a duty to intervene in Liberia for ~humanitarian~ reasons. Thus said, how could any lapse in the Intelligence Community be excoriated? After all, Saddam Hussein was a monster several magnitudes greater than the current piker in Liberia. If it is so much to intervene there for some deaths, how much greater was the need to intervene in Iraq for tens of thousands of deaths and the potentially lethal gas attacks on its neighbors?

I think Jimmah would agree.

It is mind-boggling that this report could be written now without even a mention of Federal appellate Judge Gilbert Merritt's disclosures of June 25! The AP doesn't even mention Merritt. That is just more proof, if anyone needed it, that our major organs of news dissemination are hopelessly untrustworthy. Thank God for the internet, the blogoshpere and Free Republic. Even the mighty AP, breaker of hard news extraordinaire, cannot get their biases into print without a flood of competent analysts pointing out that bias.

Here's the Merritt article in The Tennessean, which, because it's being passed around the blogosphere, is finally getting some notice over two weeks after its original publication.

There was no significant pattern of cooperation between Iraq and the al-Qaida terrorist operation," former State Department intelligence official Greg Thielmann said this week

Former? He's seeking his 15 minutes of fame, isn't he? What does he know about current matters? Is this the only person they could find to bash bush that day?

Another former Bush administration intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity,

Another spirit speaks! Are there no physical bodies they can find?

The relationships that were plotted were episodic, not continuous," the former official said.

So were the bombing of the WTC. That doesn't mean we ignore them.

Critics attacked the Bush administration

Over and over about anything they can find, even though it's fictional.

"The relationships that were plotted were episodic, not continuous"

I take this to mean that there was no link between Bin Laden and Saddam because they made contact only occasionally and not on a daily basis.

JUDGE FINDS OSAMA-SADDAM LINK

compliments of kattracks. Great find.

"Low level" al-Quaeda operatives . . . like those guys who walked onto the airplanes on Sept. 11?

Killing them works for me. That's all the link I need is that "AQ" after their name.

What is most outrageous is that GRAHAM KNOWS BETTER, that lying sack of monkey _______, and he is spinning this for his slimy personal gain.

"One of the things that concerns me is the continued reference to the war in Iraq as part of the war on terrorism. There's not much evidence to support that linkage," said Sen. Bob Graham of Florida

No link to war on terror!???

• What about Saddam openly bragging about paying Palestinian terrorists?
• What about all those suicide jackets we found during the war?
• What about that base of Al Quaeda people in NW Iraq. Mli>What about the Jordanian ambassador's assassin who was directed by Al Qaeda operating out of Iraq.
• What about the intercepted Al Quaeda communications saying relations with Bahgdad were good and it could be easily transited.
• What about that mural of 911 in Saddam's military headquarters?
• What about that paper that the TN judge has that printed the name of Saddam's laison with Al Quaeda?

Come on Sen. Bob Graham to say there were no links. Why it is ....

TREASON!!!

[CyberAnt]

Don't despair folks!

A few days ago, a retired policeman who is in Iraq to investigate some of the documents we found recently, has come across a document showing communication with a person in Pakistan who is designated as "a coordinator of activities between Saddam and Osama".

I'm hoping that while Tony Blair is here on 7/17 for his joint session of congress, he and Bush will reveal all this info - which will pull the rug out from under the dems ONE MORE TIME!

[Once-Ler]

It would be a real shame for the 'rats if Al-Quada starts taking credit for attacks on our soldiers in Iraq. That would kind of make their claimes of no link look really stupid.

"The relationships that were plotted were episodic, not continuous," the former official said.

Oh, well that makes things so much better. < / sarcasm > Another imaginary story whipped up by the press. It never stops.

[cyncooper]

As President Bush works to quiet a controversy over his discredited claim of Iraqi uranium shopping in Africa,

It wasn't discredited and there's another AP article that is very well written that details Condi Rice's Sunday talk show appearances and sets the record straight.

As to Greg Thielmann, he's been "retired" (voluntarily or otherwise?) since September and has turned up in several "news" stories this week making the same baseless claims. I don't give any credence to to the anonymous source.

[McGavin999]

ROTFLMCO! This has got to be really embarrassing to these creeps with the recording that came out today. When are they going to learn that when they attack Bush, the truth comes out?

Even I figured out that the attacks were attracting the terrorists, why can't these so-called smart guys figure it out?

[TBP]

Both former President Havel and the current Czech Preisdent say that Iraqi intelligence and Atta met in Prague befoe 9/11.

Our troops found 2 Al Qaeda training camps in northern Iraq.

No, there's obviously no connection.
