Experts say that at the time, Mr. Husseinâ€™s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.

Far be it from me to defend someone as intellectually dishonest as Hinderaker, but I will give him this much: At least one version of the story that was online did not include the bolded phrase. I know this because I was so struck by the way the sentence read that I e-mailed the reporter immediately. It took a few days, but he responded, saying that the reference was indeed to the time around the First Gulf War, not 2002.

Itâ€™s hard to believe that democrats have been losing to these nitwits for the last decade. Yet, itâ€™s the American people who voted for these shitheads. Sheeeeesh!!!

With a little help from Corruplicans and Diebold, of course.

Imagine if this had happened during the Clinton administration. These same wingtards would be forming lynching parties.

Ha! And all you liberal hippies thought those Cap’n Crunch decoder rings were kiddie toys!

Hindraker’s a goddamn genius. By consulting the Rosetta Stone, and with the help of Madame Mamie’s “Orb of Wisdom,” he has been able to pretty much figure out that whole Quantum Mechanics thing, even while he’s also been a “double-secret” Internets spy for the Bushies.

What a polymath! Forget that whole Army of One thingie–Hinie’s an Army of Davids unto himself!

Given the sheer strategic genius that must have gone into making the decision to post these documents on the Web in the first place, Riddle Me This:

What do you think the odds are that even though ShrubCo. took down it’s original how-to-build-a-nuke Web site, that the info is still available somewhere in a Google cache or the Wayback Machine? Either via the original site or via the many helpful links in Hinderaker’s “library.” Nice going guys.

You might want to check out this video. It is really low to trick the troops into thinking a politician is insulting them. The context CLEARLY shows Kerry was talking about Bush. For Bush to upset the troops in order to score political points is really low.

It was nice of us to put these documents online in the original Arabic. Al Qaeda probably doesn’t like gay translators either and won’t be needing them anyway for these “atom bomb building for dummies” documents.

But I’m sure the website wasn’t up long enough for anyone to have copied these documents. Certainly not any terrorists. Or anyone that would gladly pass them along to terrorists. Yikes.

Nice job, idiots. Whatever happened to the Rosenbergs anyway?

The Damned-o-crats are making political hay out of molehill, and it will come back to bite them in the teeth.

[sneezes coffee over monitor].
[meanwhile, faithful feline companion #1 sneezes catfood over keyboard].

They are looking for a camel in a haystack. This is the last needleâ€™s eye that broke the camelâ€™s back. It is a total red-goose chase, and a kettle of wild herrings. I mean, a kettle of worms, and red herrings in a pot called black.

The fact is, the documents were written in a foreign language. Uneducated Arabs would not have been able to read them. The Damned-o-crats are making political hay out of molehill, and it will come back to bite them in the teeth.

Oh, so this must be what was meant by WMD programrelatedactivities. It turns out they weren’t sent to Syria after all, but were cleverly smuggled out by posting them on the intertoobz. Nefarious!

No, no, it’s “Weapons of Mass Destruction Program Related Activities.”

You know what would have been really cool? If we’d had, like, some Arabic translators in the military who could have looked at this stuff and, um, translated it. Then, we could have maybe not put blueprints of nucular weapons on the internets.

Yeah, that would have been cool. The only thing better than that, would be to have a bunch of Arabic translators and then FIRE THEM because they were Teh Ghey. Now THAT would have been really fucking awesome!!!1!!

Your tax dollars at work people. Your government keeping you safe.

The Bar association test for reading comprehension ability? Cause it looks like the answer is no.

Oh, wait – I’m assuming Powerliners are stupid, not mendacious. It’s really not fair of me to give them so little credit, huh?

The Grand Theft Party published the plans, hoping that some Eye-Racki would get a bomb built in time so they could catch him, just in time for Aylection Day. They even scattered around some o’ that Nigerian yellacake in packages stamped with the URL, http://www.secretabombplans.com, but so far, no luck.

Weapons of Mass Destruction Related Activities.
Collateral damage.
Friendly fire.
Will we ever use anything other than double-speak again? ‘Cause I’m tired of explaining to the less bright what euphemisms really mean.
I think this is part of the problem. Couched in language the average mouth-breather can’t understand, we’re the heroes, spreaders of democracy and the undisputed children of God.
Scotch isn’t helping anymore, either.

There were plans to build an atomic bomb left out in the open." Wingnut B: "We've got DOCUMENTS of INTENT !! Bwahahah Moonbats!!!"
