Amazing how you never seem to tire of the taste of your own foot. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: NBCNEWS: CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ BEFORE TROOPS ARRIVED... The NYTIMES urgently reported on Monday in an apprent October Surprise: The Iraqi interim government and the U.N. nuclear agency have warned the United States that nearly 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives are now missing from one of Iraq's most sensitive former military installations. [The source behind the NYT story first went to CBSNEWS' 60 MINUTES last Wednesday, but the beleaguered network wasn't able to get the piece on the air as fast as the newspaper could print. Executive producer Jeff Fager hoped to break the story during a high-impact election eve broadcast of 60 MINS on October 31.] Jumping on the TIMES exclusive, Dem presidential candidate John Kerry blasted the Bush administration for its failure to "guard those stockpiles." "This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of this administration," Kerry said. In an election week rush: **ABCNEWS Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 4 Times **CBSNEWS Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 7 Times **MSNBC Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 37 Times **CNN Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 50 Times But tonight, NBCNEWS reported: The 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives were already missing back in April 10, 2003 -- when U.S. troops arrived at the installation south of Baghdad! An NBCNEWS crew embedded with troops moved in to secure the Al-Qaqaa weapons facility on April 10, 2003, one day after the liberation of Iraq. According to NBCNEWS, the HMX and RDX explosives were already missing when the American troops arrived.

Well rex, you wanted me to grow a conscience, seems to me the democratic kool-aid servers (NYTimes, knowing dems do as they're told) said jump, and thousands of dumba$$es like you, that have never had and original thought of their own, flood the airwaves and message boards with anger and indignation. Rex the scarecrow(singing to Dorothy)........................If I only had a brain. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Hey crawfish...... I found your robot, turns out he's an imbecile! :lol: Rex, in his "Hasty Incompetence", rushed to judgement, and has failed the good people of Tiger Forums, and should be dragged out of his singlewide in handcuffs for his Treasonous behavior. :thumb: Sound familiar moron? :hihi::hihi:
"This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of this administration," Kerry said. The way it's looking, it could turn out to be one of the great blunders of the Kerry campaign. People are going to get fed up with these inept attempts to frame Pres. Bush.
The Kerry campaign is nothing but one big blunder. An example of what happens when an SNL skit becomes reality.
I would love to think you're right, but its people like rex and crawdad that just shows, its the inept following the inept. People like rex can't afford for their Gub'ment check to be cut off or reduced.
Wrong... The USA captured the al QaQaa facility on April 3, not April 10. From MNSBC's own report: After the US military had already been through that depot on April 3 and failed to secure it, an MSNBC reporter now says they didn't see any HMX or RDX on April 10. However, that reporter neither looked for it, nor was trained to identify it even if he had seen it. According to MSNBC, it's unclear that the 101st AB on April 10 went extensively into the 32 bunkers and 87 buildings at all. What's important here is that we know those explosives were in that facility one week before Bush launched the war. That was the last verified UN inspection. Those explosives were locked under IAEA seal. Bush chased out those weapons inspectors and started a war, didn't destroy that bunker the IAEA had told him contained those explosives, didn't secure it when we first captured it on April 3, and those explosives are now in the hands of looters.
Do you have any concept of how much 380 tons is? Given that you are obviously the product of a liberal education, I'll spell it out for you. That's better than 3/4 of a million lbs. Now how likely do you really think it is that that much stuff just walked out of that depot in a weeks time, with U.S troops swarming all over the place? Surely you can't believe that SOMEBODY wouldn't have noticed? Like most radical liberals, I know that logic is not your strong suit, Rex...emotional outbursts and rants are. But this is too big a leap for even the likes of you to make.
On April 3... US troops at the site on April 3 reported thousands of cartons of white powder explosive. NBC says a Pentagon source confirms the explosives were there when the USA captured the site. The capture was on April 3, not April 10. Do you understand how massive that site is? 32 bunkers and 87 buildings. What's likely is that the MSNBC reporter didn't even come close to inspecting the site. The MSNBC article, itself, says it's unclear how much they searched. The IAEA says those tons were there one week before the invasion. Don't lose sight of the forest for the sake of the trees. The larger issue is that dangerous explosives were being controlled by UN sanctions, but are now in the hands of our enemies because Bush launched a war and failed to secure the site.
