"Allegations that a Syrian envoy admitted during a United Nations meeting Oct. 17 that an Israeli air strike hit a nuclear facility in September are inaccurate and have raised the ire of some in the US intelligence community, who see the Vice President’s hand as allegedly being behind the disinformation.

A United Nations press release discussing the General Assembly’s Disarmament Committee meeting mistranslated comments ascribed to an unnamed Syrian diplomat as saying that Israel had on various occasions “taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria.”

The UN has since gone through the tape recordings of the meeting and found that there was no mention of the word “nuclear” at all (http://rawstory.com/news/2007/US_Intelligence_does_not_show_Syrian_1018.html). According to the UN, the error was one of translation, involving several interpreters translating the same meeting.

One US intelligence source familiar with the events expressed concern about recent news reports describing Syria as having a functioning nuclear weapons program and cautioned against attributing those reports to the US intelligence community.

“The allegations that North Korea was helping to build a nuclear reactor have not been substantiated by US intelligence,” said this intelligence official, adding, “..but that hasn't stopped Dick Cheney and his minions at the NSC, Elliot Abrams and Steve Hadley, from leaking the information [to the press], which appears to be misleading in the extreme."

Shaman, you're as shrill as ever. Would that you put as much effort into your research as into your multi-colored postings.

His outrage knows no bounds. A caricature come to life.

Mr. Shaman,

You do seem a bit testy and almost monomaniacal in your postings regarding this war, your President, and his vice-President.

Off the topic though:
Is there any particular political party for whom you hold some regard or respect? Do you figure that some candidate from some other corner will emerge that will make things better for you?

Genuinely curious.

Hell.....ya' can't blame me for the present-day situation. I didn't vote for either-of-them....both-times!

My attitude is....Whatever It TAKES, To Get BILL Back Into The Whitehouse (http://clinton5.nara.gov/WH/Accomplishments/eightyears-01.html)!!! :thumbs:

After all.....we are recipients of another Bush Economic-Hustle (http://news4florida.tripod.com/indexfraud.html).....and, probably require an experienced-response. :thumbs:

Outstanding.
Then, in your opinion, Bill and Hillary will fix everything in a couple of years, no doubt.

You are to be commended for not only your steadfast and relentless criticism of Hillary's opponent party, but for your devotion to the Clintons.

If one didn't know better, one might venture the opinion that you are a shill for/and a tool of, the Clinton supporters.

Me, I just suspect that you are just an earnest and ardent fan of the most attractive political couple to ever grace the White House since JFK and Jackie.
It's understandable, really. They are attractive in their own curious way.

I myself had a crush on Audrey Hepburn.
I miss her. Lung cancer is a terrible thing, and has taken so many of our celebrities!!

:(

Yeah.....how can we possibly survive Prosperity II (http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/27/clinton.surplus/index.html).....especially when economic-disaster is soooooooooooo predictable (http://www.kellysite.net/taxes.html)??!!!!! :rolleyes:

"The President promised a middle-class tax cut, yet he and his party imposed the largest tax increase in American history (http://www.cbpp.org/HITX85.HTM). We hope his higher taxes will not cut short the economic recovery and declining interest rates he inherited… Instead of stifling growth through higher taxes and increased government regulations, Republicans would take America in a different direction." — Sen. Robert Dole (Republican, Kansas)
