[QUOTE=tagos] I note, after a whole weekend, the complete absense of The Usual Suspects lining up to explain how Bush posting instructions on how to make WMD’s on the internet is: (a) A plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel. (b) No big deal because everyone knows how to make nukes and sarin gas anyway. [/QUOTE] I don’t watch TV, so I have no idea whether the Nuke-Manual-Gate stuff got a lot, a little, or no play in the TV news. The WaPo kinda buried it in the back pages; one story did get on p. A-2, but no front-paging. Guess it was a less important story than Kerry’s gaffe, which did get front-paged. :rolleyes: ---

[QUOTE=Ludovic] Surely you are not referring to the troops, mr [del]Kerry[/del]tagos? [/takingquoteoutofcontext] [/QUOTE] No - neo-cons, Bushviks and by now, their enablers in the electorate. Although I’m sure the troops contain their fair share of such as the current round of trials suggest. ---

I’m not sure what the problem is. This was obviously a clever way to put North Korea out of business. After all who would buy nuclear technology, when we’re giving it away for free! ---
