Washington Post story on nuclear lies has been posted

This was alerted earlier today in LBN; go to this thread for discussion.

It says, quite clearly and plainly (if a bit verbosely) that Bush and Blair out-and-out lied about the existence of a new IAEA report alleging a nuclear threat. It also talks about the "not marketing new products in August" line and the secret group responsible for the plan.

Between this and Colin Powell, these are two absolute blockbuster reports hitting the street on the same day. DU's job is to make sure they echo all day long and into next week -- because you can bet your bottom dollar that CNN and Faux won't do anything to publicize these exposes.

1. Big build-up to September

"Discovering WMD
Robert Novak
August 9, 2003


WASHINGTON -- Former international weapons inspector David Kay, now seeking Iraqi weapons of mass destruction for the Pentagon, has privately reported successes that are planned to be revealed to the public in mid-September.

Kay has told his superiors he has found substantial evidence of biological weapons in Iraq, plus considerable missile development. He has been less successful in locating chemical weapons, and has not yet begun a substantial effort to locate progress toward nuclear arms.

Senior officials in the Bush administration believe Kay's weapons discoveries should have been revealed as they were made. However, a decision, approved by President Bush, was made to wait until more was discovered and then announce it -- probably in September."

When it will turn out Saddam got rid of all the stuff he had years ago, and since then has thought about it wistfully.

But it was a mean 'wist' mind you.
