Nuclear Weapons found in Iraq!!!!
it's interesting to note that these are not nuclear weapons, just parts. thus the thread is more than a bit misleading, and is a bit of a spin, nee?
this is not to disagree that this is a promising sign in the search, but let's not oversell these things, shall we?
I'll have to remember to set my vcr to record FAUX News and buy some popcorn from the store. Their coverage ought to be entertaining.
Fox News is suing agitprop for the faux news tshirts now.
I don't care about Bush's political future. One way or another he'll be gone, be it in 1 year or 4 more. My concern is the damage he has already done to the United States' image in the eyes of the rest of the world and the damage he is likely to continue to contribute until his presidency ends. Years after he is gone this country will still be smarting from it's poor world image. Whether one cares about what the rest of the world thinks or not is immaterial: even the most isolated nation still has contact with the outside world. The USA, being the Western Industrialized country that it is, WILL be affected by world opinion of it.
so true, so true. i've found most of this so-called anti-americanism that is being pointed at by the media is less anti-americanism and more anti-bush. for one thing, bush proclaimed during his campaign that america had to be a humble nation to gain the respect of others. he's done no such thing since 11 sept, showing raw displays of american power and might and thereby incited furor, rather than respect.
My generation and the one after mine will be the ones who have to repair the damage when it's our turn to lead the nation...
the next generation will always pay for the sins of the fathers.
BTW: anybody can build a gas centrifuge. It's a pretty simple piece of machinery. Trouble is sheer amount or size of centrifuges needed to make bombs in reasonable time. Output is low, low, low. Need a very large infrastructure. Can't remember how many technicians the US employed at Oak Ridge (?) to purify enough U235 for Hiroshima bomb over the course of a year or two, but IIRC it was in the thousands, and the building they did it in was the largest single structure on Earth at the time.
of course, those same centrifuges require a certain type of aluminium tubing, which iraq obtained, according to evidence given to us by bush... oh, wait, wasn't that evidence debunked?
in any case, finding these things are a promising sign. however, i'd like to see the smoking gun bush and blair were talking about, rather than these old trinkets.
