GREEN BAY, Wis. — John Kerry accused President Bush (search) on Tuesday of trying to cover up bad decisions and alluded to the possibility that there's still bad news yet to be uncovered.
"Mr. President, what else are you being silent about? What else are you keeping from the American people?" Kerry said during a speech in Green Bay, referring to the estimated 380 tons of highly explosive material that have gone missing from an arms depot in Iraq.
Although Kerry and the Democrats are blaming the Bush administration for losing the ammo, calling it "one of the great blunders" of the Iraq war, recent reports by NBC show that the material was gone from that locale when the 101st Airborne Division rolled into Iraq to depose of Saddam Hussein.
Kerry also vowed in his Green Bay speech that he wouldn't relent when it comes to pursuing the War on Terror.
"We will hunt down, capture, kill and destroy terrorists … I will never give any other nation or any other organization a veto over the security over the United States of America," the Democratic candidate said.

Snip:
"Although Kerry and the Democrats are blaming the Bush administration for losing the ammo, calling it "one of the great blunders" of the Iraq war, recent reports by NBC show that the material was gone from that locale when the 101st Airborne Division rolled into Iraq to depose of Saddam Hussein."
No missing ammo, except in Kerry's brain.
Not only was the 380 tons of HE gone, so were the WMDS. Probably on the same convoy to the Bekaa while the left and panty wearing right delayed the war.
What about your Global Test John FRAUD Kerry?
Am I blind? Why don't they mention in the headline that the story was bogus?
The truth has never mattered to Kerry when he can use the NYT as a willing propaganda peddler.
How could anyone want someone so easily duped, so easily led, someone who so easily falls for rumor and lies as POTUS? Particularly someone who many claim as the smartest man on the face of the earth. < /sarcasm>
Exactly. I think the missing ammo story supports the theory that the WMD in Iraq were moved prior to our 'liberating' the Iraqi people. I think this is the big story...wish I would hear more of this!
Has anyone in the Kerry campaign seen the news at all?
Oh- I forgot.
If it's not in the NY Slimes, they don't know about it.
The Kerry campaign's ammo is definitely missing.....
Is Kerry really that stupid that he continually keeps talking about it AFTER the story is proven BOGUS????
John Kerry accused President Bush (search) on Tuesday of trying to cover up bad decisions and alluded to the possibility that there's still bad news yet to be uncovered.
The Kerry camp and his favorite 527's (NYT & CBS) may have more bogus reports up their sleeves. Fox could be waiting for the other shoe to drop finally sending the MSM into the obscurity they deserve.
Kerry will repeat this lie until the 2nd....the press will never call him on it....
"Particularly someone who many claim as the smartest man on the face of the earth"
Satan was considered smart too. I see many similarities here.
Kerry is flailing. More evidence that his internal polls show him losing.
Bush should spend the last week running on TRUST.
Who do you trust to keep your family safe.
Who do you trust to finish the job against terrorists
Who do you trust to cut taxes
Who do you trust to protect Social Security
Who do you trust to maintain traditional values
Ok, someone high up in the Bush campaing, i.e. Cheney, needs to forcefully comment on this and set things straight, so that the MSM will pick up on it. This is driving me to a coronary this morning! Argh!
"Kerry is flailing. More evidence that his internal polls show him losing."
That's why I nicknamed him 'the boston flailer' a few weeks ago.
"The Kerry camp and his favorite 527's (NYT & CBS) may have more bogus reports up their sleeves. Fox could be waiting for the other shoe to drop finally sending the MSM into the obscurity they deserve."
FOX needs to get off the dime. Their coverage the last couple of days has let too much go by unchallenged. What's wrong with these guys?
I admire how Kerry will never let facts stop him. The guy truly has no shame. That's the part that is amazing about him. How can a guy go to Congress and lie through his teeth on television by accusing his fellow soldiers of horrible acts that he knows never happened? That truly shows a person with no morals whatsoever, or as Mrs Cheney said: This is not a good man.
Since Kerry has not corrected the story (even in the face of NBC's first hand evidence) we need to attack him as being either the last informed or a deliberate liar.
Neither is a desirable trait in a potential president.
Nah, Satan mixes a few truths with HIS lies.
I agree. Here's what Pres. Bush or V.P. Cheney should say:
"I believe Sen. Kerry owes our brave troops an apology for spreading false stories about their competence."
You are assuming that most people care whether a Democrat candidate is a liar. Clinton spent 8 years lying about everything, and it didn't hurt him a bit. If a Republican makes even the slightest misstatement, he is hounded day and night by the DNC and its PR agency (a/k/a the Mainstream Media).
U.N. Security Council spokeswoman Melissa Fleming told The Associated Press. "We do not know what happened to the explosives or when they were looted."
The IAEA left Iraq in 1998, and when it returned in 2002, it confirmed that 35 tons of HMX was missing. HMX and RDX are the key components in plastic explosives.
United Nations was told February 2003 that Iraq had declared that "HMX previously under IAEA seal had been transferred for use in the production of industrial explosives, primarily to cement plants as a booster for explosives used in quarrying."
Now we find an NBC correspondent who was with the 101st when they rolled onto these sites that was supposed to have all these missing explosives and the cubbard was bare.
First: The 380 tons of HDX and RDX weren't there when our troops got to Al'QuaQa (SP?)
Second: Even if it were there, it's not ammo. Its raw unprocessed explosive powder that has to be packaged into shells, rockets, bombs, etc. and fitted with fuses and igniters before it can be used in the field, such as contraband artillery shells are now employed as IEDs.
The story is bogus; it has no facts, no logic, it's not a real scenario.
Will the Kerry camp do an "Emily Littela"? I doubt it. Since 60 minutes already had this story in the can for election eve what will they do now? The Democraps and their media are vulnerable to the pont of hilarious when it comes to bogus stories. We may all find them amusing, but the typical democrap voter is not very bright and probably still believes this story....
It spell out the whole Kerry Line verbatim, then at th end, quietly alludes to the weapons having been gone - no further explanation,
Make ya wonder ??? What does the dims have on FOX?
******************But of Course, It worked for Hitler
exactly
While it's in limbo - Kerry et al are hustling folks off to vote EARLY before the real truth hits the fan.............
