I met Ms. Pelosi, she is a nice women with a great sense of humor, but she just doesn't belong in the speakers chair.

I wonder what Newt Gingrich's ratings were?

You forget that, in Slave-land, Saddam moved his WMD to Syria rather than use them against the invading US or Israel.

Thanks, that is 8 minutes and 26 seconds of my life that I will never get back. Of course you realise that I, as an individual who has successfully handled several accusations of paternity, am particularly sensitive to issues surrounding children, custody and most specifically the egregious crimes against humanity that were perpetuated against the innocent freedom seeking Elian by Billybob Clintoon and ShakenBake Reno. As such, I was compelled to read the whole of that piece to see if Elian was actually involved.......thanks, again.

Yes, it's amazing that the party that brought us Hastert, DeLay and Gingrich as the House Leadership sees fit to question anyone else as a potential speaker.

Of the three, the one thing you can say for Hastert is that "never heard of him" still outpolls his negative ratings, even if the negative ratings have been closing in.

What makes you so sure? It seems to me that Slave thinks that the more important story is that Saddam was working on a bomb in the mid-90s, which everyone already knew.

it seems to me the important story is that the NYT, which has been clamoring on and on for years that Saddam was not a threat, now reveals that he readily had available information that any simpleton could use to build a nuke.

the important story is that the NYT thinks the publication of classified information is extremely dangerous, even after they've leaked the NSA and SWIFT programs (the latter, having basically apologized for), probably in violation of the law

the important story is that - not in the 90's - but still in 2002 - Saddam was only a year away from a developed nuke

I am surprised that you think this is a story.

the [other] important story is that - not in the 90's - but still in 2002 - Saddam was only a year away from a developed nuke

You'd better read it again. You need things like plutonium to build the bomb. Iraq was a year away from having the bomb in 2002 only in the sense that would have taken no longer than that for North Korea to ship them one.

You used to scare me when I thought you were patentpara's sock.

Then I liked you when you loaned me that other sock that will remain nameless during your hiatus.

That said, I dislike this type of politics of personal destruction and would ask that you keep the unproductive rancour to the FB, which is a snakepit of drivel anyhoo. No offence.

Uh, are you kidding? Ever hear of Judith Miller?

Thinking one is a more important story is a far cry from thinking the US should continue to post classified instructions on how to build the bomb on the internet. Slave and friend never said that. They just said that this story shows Saddam was a threat. You saying that they wanted classified stuff to stay on the internet is pure straw man B.S.

Oh, please. You claim that Saddam was a threat because he had information -- not a program to use it, or means to use it, or anything else, but information. Because, gee whiz, who knows who he could've given that information to.

In their zeal to show that Bush had some reason to invade Iraq, the Rs proceeded to post that same, super-secret, anyone-who-has-it-is-a-threat information... on the Internet. Sharing it with anyone to whom Saddam might have provided it.

And in Arabic.

If you believe -- really believe, as opposed to just defend-the-Admin-at-all-costs bullshit -- that Saddam's mere possession of this information made him a threat to America, then how can you believe that the Rs' publication of that same information, on the internet, is anything short of treason? (Reckless treason?)

And Bilmore was claiming that dems committed "traitorous acts" that "supported terrorism." Imagine the orgasm he would've had if he'd had evidence that Dems were providing instructions, in Arabic, on how to build an atomic bomb. Free to anyone with a net connection.

So Bush's invasion accomplished moving the WMDs from a country that didn't threaten us to one that borders, and hates, Israel?

Heckuva job.

You're exagerrating, but since you won't read the article I won't bother to explain how.

Fortunately, we can all rest comfortably, knowing that "any simpleton" who would want to build a nuke could not POSSIBLY have had access to that same information via the Internet.

the important story is that the NYT thinks the publication of classified information is extremely dangerous, even after they've leaked the NSA and SWIFT programs (the latter, having basically apologized for), probably in violation of the law

So you wanted the headline to read "Times Decides Publishing Classified Information Is Bad"? Where would the phrase "Bush Administration Tells Arabic-Speaking World How To Build An A-Bomb" go?

the important story is that - not in the 90's - but still in 2002 - Saddam was only a year away from a developed nuke

Saddam was only a year away from a developed nuke, from the 1990s through 2002? That's one long-ass year.
