New York Times admits Iraqi documents "raised alarms" at the U.N.

Gateway Pundit has a VERY enlightening post: NYT: Saddam Was a Year Away from Building A-Bomb! After reading this post, I followed the link in it to see what else the fishwrapper of record had to say...
Some of the first posted documents dealt with Iraq’s program to make germ weapons, followed by a wave of papers on chemical arms.
At the United Nations in New York, the chemical papers raised alarms at the Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, which had been in charge of searching Iraq for all unconventional arms, save the nuclear ones.
So how did our "friends" at the United Nations handle all of this? They panicked. That's right, they panicked, and they suppressed the information.
In April, diplomats said, the commission’s acting chief weapons inspector, Demetrius Perricos, lodged an objection with the United States mission to the United Nations over the document that dealt with the nerve agents tabun and sarin.
Soon, the document vanished from the Web site...
Now why would they do that? Sure, I know the reason they'd give publicly. They don't want other rogue regimes to learn from the documents. But I bet part of the reason they panicked is because they've been trying to cover up their failure to find the programs when they were "inspecting".
My question to all of the wing-nuts on the left coast now is... "Do you still think removing Saddam from power was a waste of time?" Or do you want to keep your head in the sand?
There's no question in my mind. Not only is this the right war at the right time, but there's no excuse for not staying there and finishing the job right.
