Does anyone have any new insight as to the status of the projects? Once they disappeared I never head about them again.I found them fascinating.

I’ve been out of town so I don’t know anything new.
Maybe you should ask jveritas.
The Iraqi documents website was shut down on November 2nd 2006. Unfortunately no more Iraqi documents to look at and translate.
What was the official reason for shutting down the web-site?
No one made copies?
One would think that would have been fairly easy to do.
Bush could have hammered on that subject, every waking hour of every day of his time in office since the day it became an issue.
It would have accomplished exactly squat. The msm belongs to either the enemy or idiots and everything that comes out of the POTUS is torn apart by zombie hords of mindless morons posing as talking heads in the news.
The job of the msm IS to operate as the public information dissemination mechanism during time of war and they have failed, failed, failed. And we sit on our hands and blame everyone else for the failure that belongs exclusively and only to the msm.
The invasion of Iraq and deposing of the tyrannical Saddam were not ever claimed by Pres. Bush as being justified solely by Iraq’s possession of stockpiles of WMD. The editors of the NYSlimes and others of their ilk, including Democrats both in and without the Congress know this full well.
The public record is replete with impassioned statemens of concern about Saddam’s WMD, those he was known or thought to possess plus his intentions to produce more WMD even more dangerous, statments uttered by leading Clinton administration officials and Congressional leaders of both parties; statements made on the record whilst George W. Bush was yet the Governor of Texas as well as at least as recently as late 2002.
Short and selective memories are very useful weapons in the hands of partisan demagogues. And we fail too often to refresh the springs of knowledge and memory.
Yep. I think after 2004, the Bush administration completely lost the PR game. There are important changes that need to be made in a new Republican presidential administration, but I certainly doubt McClame will make them if he wins. I think they are radical, but could restore some control of the WH over the news cycle and the "message."
The Butler report said British intelligence had “credible” information — from several sources — that a 1999 visit by Iraqi officials to Niger was for the purpose of buying uranium:
Butler Report: It is accepted by all parties that Iraqi officials visited Niger in 1999. The British Government had intelligence from several different sources indicating that this visit was for the purpose of acquiring uranium. Since uranium constitutes almost three-quarters of Niger’s exports, the intelligence was credible.
The Butler Report affirmed what the British government had said about the Niger uranium story back in 2003, and specifically endorsed what Bush said as well.
Butler Report: By extension, we conclude also that the statement in President Bush’s State of the Union Address of 28 January 2003 that “The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa” was well-founded.
