NYTimes: Bush told truth! Saddam a true threat! Yellowcake!

“Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors”
- President William Jefferson Clinton 12/16/98

The Bush Derangement Syndrome at the NY Times has reached such yelpingly mad levels that the Times’ inevitable breakdown is nigh. The most telling symptom (besides yesterday’s outright lying) of an impending crash is now manifesting itself as the Times’ inability to reason or use simple logic.

In the paper’s insatiable hunger to destroy the Evil Enemy Bush and His Minions, they have frontpaged this story:

U.S. Web Archive Is Said to Reveal a Nuclear Primer

Among the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990’s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.

Yeah! In the wee small hours of some morning, President Bush, the stupidest (and most evil!) man in the world personally uploaded into the web ALL OF IRAQ’S NUCLEAR PLANS, drawings, diagrams, equations. (Ummm…actually Congress put this stuff online, but never mind about that. It’s not like they gave tech information to China, or nuclear power to North Korea, but I digress).

So, the NY Times twirls its mustache and writes:

Stupid Evil Bush Reveals Saddam’s Nuke Plans, and He was Only a Year Away from Having Nukes and….and….

Times Peon #1:
HOLY CRAP, Mr. Keller, did we just validate everything Dick Cheney and Colin Powell and stupid evil George Bush said to the UN? When we’re spilling secrets, we’re not supposed to do that!

Keller: OMG, WE DID! We DID validate these scheming nazi theocon bastards!!!

Times Peon #2: And…and…and what about Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame and those sixteen words Bush said…you know, the impeachable 16 words about the Brit intelligence and the Yellowcake! Jim Geraghty at TKS says we might have freaking validated that story, too!

Keller: Ohhhhhh crap! And freaking bloggers! Okay, let’s spin this, baby, spin it! All hands on deck! Turn this ship around! Call Chris Matthews! Call MoDo - no, wait, don’t call her, she’ll make it worse by pretending to be Emma Peel, or something - call Bob Herbert! He’s a wiz at shifting the rudder! Spin, spin! Call Olbermann!

Peon #3: Aye, Aye, captain! Uh, sir, Olbermann is chewing floorboard and Matthews is crying, again. Should we call Judith Miller, sir?

Keller: Jesus God Almighty! No, no, just let her stay buried!

Times Peon #2: There is no God but Allah, sir, and Mohammed is his prophet. Be careful with those exclamations or we might get into trouble with Islamofa-

Keller: Don’t you say Islamofascists, Peon! You know the only fascists on this planet live in the White House and…some place in Kansas…

Times Peon #2: Sorry sir, lost my head - a confusing day. Anyway, we want them on our side, sir, the ummmm…non-fascist Islamists. They’re telling people that the Democrats should win this election!

Keller: Exactly. Thank you, Peon, you’re a good man for reminding me about them. You’re right, this is no time to lose our heads!

Times Peon #1: Hah-haha, good pun, sir!

Keller: Pun, hell, I’m quite serious! (Pounding well-coiffed head against the newsroom’s fifth column)…I gotta think…gotta think…we need…we require…we gotta get Clinton in on this, no choice, only Clinton can spin this thing as adroitly as we’re going to need!

Times Peon #3: Which Clinton would that be, sir? Bill Clinton was on the cover of Time Magazine calling Saddam out in 1998 and saying he had WMD and possibly nukes! Hillary Clinton said in 2003 that the intelligence that stupid evil Bush was showing congress was “consistent with what we saw in the White House in the 1990’s.”

Times Peon #2: And besides, sir, you’re going to have a hard time using Clinton if the bloggers start reminding everyone about the nuke trigger he gave to Iran in 2000!

Keller: (under his breath) Damn! Freaking Clintons, can never count on them for anything! What about Gore!

Times Peon #1: Unavailable, sir! Flying a private jet to Iceland to warn about Global Warning, the biggest threat facing the world at this time, as you know!

Keller: Kobayashi Maru?

Peon #2: Fiction, sir. Star Trek, I think?

Keller: Albright! Gimmee Albright!

Times Peon #3:
Under the desk with her head down on her knees, sir, with Byron Calame! She’s in a sort of trance muttering this over and over again: “Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face. I knew that when I said it on Feb 18, 1998.” She keeps saying it, sir. And Calame is saying, “Banking data, NSA leak…no way out, no way out, no way out.”

Times Peon #1: Albright and Calame have gone bye-bye, sir.

Keller: I always did think they were the same person…alright, you know what? Get Kerry. Bring on John Kerry! He was a sailor! He’ll spin this wheel and turn us aright! He knows how to get out the information we want gotten out. And besides, he owes us! We shot down the Swiftboat Vets and never asked to see Kerry’s milrecords, and we and got him an extra 10-15% in 2004!

Times Peon #2: Confined to quarters, sir, on account of nobody really likes him, much.

Keller: Okay,dammit, then sound the sirens! Dive! Dive! Dive!

Times Peon #2: Sir, we’re not a submarine, we are the majestic shining jewel of the journalistic seas! We are The TIMESTANIC!

Times Peon #1: Iceberg, straigh’ ahead!

Hate consumes the hater and the NY Times is killing itself because it hates stupid evil George W. Bush and all you unsophisticated, knuckledragging little red-staters stupid enough to believe him, too. Oh, and every chance they can get, they’re going to weaken our defenses against people like Saddam, and countries like Iran, and North Korea. Until, of course, there is a someone with a D after her/his name once again skulking about the Oval Office.

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.”
– Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

In my experience, Ed Morrissey is going to be the go-to “Captain” on this story, so check back with him throughout the day. He more than anyone (and certainly not the “mediating intelligences of the press”) has been keeping track of the slow, steady translations workand the info we’re gleaning from 45,000 boxes of Iraqi documents no one else seems to care about. Except, maybe this fellow, who has done some amazing work.

It seems to me Ed’s unflagging interest in these documents has been vindicated.

And Betsy Newmark says It’s time to take another look at the those parts of the Duelfer Report that got sloughed off in the past.

And Shrinkwrapped does a psychological evaluation of the Timestanic.

    Bush was right and the Democratic spin machine had it all wrong, all along. Yet, even now, the Left still won’t get it and still won’t admit to being wrong. They’ll simply spin it according to their own world view.

  25. AtKeys Says:

    This should be taken down. The satire on Bill Keller and his aides ought to be widely circulated. It’s hilarious. However, you have a peon referring to “acclamations.” One could make that error, but context indicates the word should be “exclamations.” Since there should be many people who read your posting, I’d suggest changing the word.

    Also, Keller says “alright.” That’s nonstandard, though accepted by those who say dictionaries and usage ought to reflect that which is used, with no attention to current rules. (If altogether, why not also alright?) But Keller strikes me as someone who would use alright; the Times news pages are not known for good grammar.

    I’d have substantive comments. One thinks about someone chucking a boomerang at prey, but missing the prey, with the boomerang zipping back to smash the chucker’s noggin. But as a practical matter, it’s unlikely a Times staffer sifted through the material. Someone did have to clue the paper in. Who? It’s a bit like the Foley matter, which was traced to someone at the Human Rights Campaign, of all places, who was fixed on taking down Republicans. I want to know the Times’s source.

  26. AtKeys Says:

    Oh boy, a third message to take down. I’m rushing too much. You have “consistant.” Should be: “consistent.”

And of course, the MSM immediately buried the story, like you hide your crazy aunt in the backroom when the pastor drops by for a social call. The Old Gray Mare, she ain’t what she used to be… ain’t what she used to be… ain’t what she used to be. The Old Gray Mare, she ain’t what she used to be, many long years ago. [...]
