Try this:
I don't know what there is to poke fun about, unless you're referring to how funny the NYT's consistently making up facts is. Whitewater was hysterical, wasn't it? Five years of fiction by the paper of record. Not an article or two articles or even a year's worth of articles but five years of out and out lies printed as fact. Not a finger lifted to get facts about WMD after all the inspectors said there were no WMD, and here we are, vaporizing ourselves over there. What are you poking fun at?

It isn't really a discussion. I was just poking a little fun at Irene's belief that the NYT is "beating the drum for another, bigger, better war with Iran" and calls the paper a print version of Fox News.
As long as I have you here, John, or anyone else, can you confirm what Irene said about Iran offering to capture bin Laden after 9/11 and the U.S. turning them down? I've followed the international scene fairly closely in those years and I have never heard that. Sudan offered bin Laden to the U.S. in '98 and it is speculated in the intelligence\counterterrorism\security industry that bin Laden might have fled to Iran after 9/11.
And speaking of Iran,
Hillary Clinton spoke to a pro-Israel lobby group and said
"U.S. policy must be clear and unequivocal: We cannot, we should not, we must not permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons," the Democrat told a crowd of Israel supporters. "In dealing with this threat ... no option can be taken off the table."
