I-D-I-O-T-S!!!

You know the conservative blogosphere, much like talk radio and, hell, life in general is comprised of three types: those with some balance (and there are some of those); those that are stupid; or more commonly, those that truly think their readers are stupid. And the matter discussed below clearly sets this out in spades.

You know the great thing about having an active nuclear weapons program in an oil-rich country prior to 1991 is that you had 46 years of documentation, research and instruction you could try to assemble -- and have your often American-educated physicists put together in your efforts to build something that goes boom. You've got all those instruction manuals (as opposed to keeping it all up in your heeeeeed) and then DAMN! You never really get a chance to go to work more on the shit after your nation gets its ass kicked in the first gulf war.

But the documents are still around for somebody to pick up the slack again, should they ever see them...if anyone should let them because they were, well IDIOTS! Say your hated enemies the Iranians, they could look at some of those things and say...

"We used 'the google' on 'the internets' and found these documents the Iraqis made all these years ago and you know what? Some of that stuff we were gonna try and now I see it doesn't work...but it looks like this thing over here did work". Suddenly you are a few steps closer to your bombey bomb! Thanks Peter Hoekstra, thanks great Satan!

Boo, stupid Republicans, HOOOORAY beer! bombs!

Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make public a vast archive of Iraqi documents captured during the war. The Bush administration did so under pressure from Congressional Republicans who said they hoped to “leverage the Internet” to find new evidence of the prewar dangers posed by Saddam Hussein.

But in recent weeks, the site has posted some documents that weapons experts say are a danger themselves: detailed accounts of Iraq’s secret nuclear research before the 1991 Persian Gulf war. The documents, the experts say, constitute a basic guide to building an atom bomb.

Last night, the government shut down the Web site after The New York Times asked about complaints from weapons experts and arms-control officials. A spokesman for the director of national intelligence said access to the site had been suspended “pending a review to ensure its content is appropriate for public viewing.”

Officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency, fearing that the information could help states like Iran develop nuclear arms, had privately protested last week to the American ambassador to the agency, according to European diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity. One diplomat said the agency’s technical experts “were shocked” at the public disclosures.

The documents, roughly a dozen in number, contain charts, diagrams, equations and lengthy narratives about bomb building that nuclear experts who have viewed them say go beyond what is available on the Internet and in other public forums. For instance, the papers give detailed information on how to build nuclear firing circuits and triggering explosives, as well as the radioactive cores of atom bombs.

Let me make it simple for the freepers...nevermind it requires an ability to read, even summaries and the ability to comprehend "teh big words".

Following the invasion of Kuwait, nearly all of the key nuclear facilities—those involved in the processing of nuclear material or weapons research—were bombed during Desert Storm. Many of the facilities located at Tuwaitha were devastated, and the EMIS enrichment plants at Tarmiya and Ash Sharqat were largely destroyed. Iraq’s yellowcake recovery plant at Al-Qa’im and feed material production plant at Mosul (Al Jazira) also were bombed during the war. Daelfer Report part II(c), pg. 10...

...Iraq did not possess a nuclear device, nor had it tried to reconstitute a capability to produce nuclear weapons after 1991. ISG has uncovered no information to support allegations of Iraqi pursuit of uranium from abroad in the post-Operation Desert Storm era. Daulfur Report, Part II(c), pg. 13

Yes, I am sure, your average Powerloiner, Little Green Facist, or Freeper, not to mention Michelle Malkin, Cap'n Crunch or various NRO goons have the expertise and knowledge that demonstrably outweighs the expertise of actual trained weapons experts and inspectors -- even when they are appointed by Premier George Walter Boooosh. Because we all know that Cheney Co. is just SITTING on those smoking guns proving the active mushroom cloud programs.

Why those lousy Bush appointed experts after years in the country, and a perused all of these documents wrote the report containing those two statements above.
