YET ANOTHER SERVICEMAN REFUTES THE TIMES ACCOUNT

YET ANOTHER SERVICEMAN REFUTES THE TIMES ACCOUNT [10/26 05:23 PM]

From yet another Kerry Spot reader with a ".mil" e-mail address:

You are correct in your bottom line conclusion. Here is a second follow up. I was serving as a [identifying information removed by the Kerry Spot] staff member during the time in question. The Commander on the site had complete real time intelligence on what to expect and possibly find at the Al-QaQaa depot. The ordinance in question was not found when teams were sent in to inspect and secure the area. When this information was relayed, Operational plans were adjusted and the unit moved forward. Had the ordinance in question been discovered, a security team would have been left in place.

If the Bush team can get this verified and get it to the major media (beginning with Fox), we can deep six this Al-QaQaa bullsh*t, Kerry, and the MSM whores who shill for him.

bump

Someone needs to search the IAEA website and look at their Press Releases, Security Council Reports, and other available information. I suspect the IAEA records (pre-invasion) support the claim that Al-QaQaa no longer had the HMX.

I've never posted a negative word about Bush and the Bush campaign people, but this whole incident is really bothering me. On top of the slander about Tora Bora, it seems like the Bush people are incapable of responding to these types of attacks on how the war was conducted. Within 3 hours of an attack, they need to get someone out front and center saying that Kerry is attacking our military, and the military did a fine job and did not botch things the way Kerry alleges. I don't understand how the Bush people can be so clueless. They don't need time to "verify" stuff like this. And, don't tell me that they are delaying for strategic reasons, to make the response even stronger----to trap Kerry----I'm getting tired of that answer


-they might as well wait until next Wednesday, November 3rd, and then deliver a really good response.
OK Bush team, you've had since Sunday night. Where is your response on this. How many more days of early voting have to elapse before you get your act together?

Fox just did a segment on it in "My Word" and reported it was the intended Oct. Surprise but it was old news and explosives weren't there when our troops got there...etc. etc. etc.

Chill. The response is going fine. It appears that soldiers in the field are responding. What could possibly make Kerry look more like a snake?

BOMB-GATE [Cliff May]

Sent to me by a source in the government:

“The Iraqi explosives story is a fraud. These weapons were not there when US troops went to this site in 2003. The IAEA and its head, the anti-American Mohammed El Baradei, leaked a false letter on this issue to the media to embarrass the Bush administration. The US is trying to deny El Baradei a second term and we have been on his case for missing the Libyan nuclear weapons program and for weakness on the Iranian nuclear weapons program.”

FNC said that Bush-Cheney 04 doesn't want to spend the ladt days of the campaign refuting evidence, but rather pushing their agenda. "Stay on the offensive, not the defensive."

I wish Bush would personally respond to these attacks soon, Talk Radio just doesn't cut it, it just preaches to the choir.

In the original NYT article, the author (inadvertently, I now think) put in a line in which the IAEA complains that some of the explosive is being "relocated."

I can no longer find it, but I'm positive I read it in the original article that I read.

In other words, they admitted that SOMEONE IN IRAQ (SADDAM) was relocating WMD trigger explosives to some safe location BEFORE the invasion even began.

This is the key mistake the NYT made in the original.

Where did it go?

Why would America leave the security of it's country up to the United Nations?
All members in Congress and the Senate are killing Americans by supporting the United Nations.

TREASON

If I were Karl Rove for this week...

Slow play the hand.
The facts are there, and the word is getting out in a hurry.
Let the media jump in circles for a few days, and wait until the noise level decreases. You want an open stage to ensure the message is clear and that it is heard.
Thurs/Fri release the truth, and hopefully include dates of briefings for the Senate Intel committee.
Nail the door shut and leave them less time to focus on their last ditch weekend. If played right this story, and the hard facts that are easily available (google is your friend) can dominate the Sunday talk shows, and stifle a focus shift by the libs in the next week. The trick is to make them eat this one.

Some things that bother me about this story: WHO, exactly claimed that there were explosives there? HOW did they know? HOW do we know they are telling the truth?

Don't count on it. The MSM is staffed by a bunch of f'n whores who are leftist liars pretending to be journalists. They can no longer claim protection under the constitution. It is clear they and the UN is working 'hand in glove' with the Communists now trying to take over the Democratic party.

In my entire life I have never ever seen such an assault on our America. Thank god for the Internet and FNC. We must continue to attack these bastards after Bush's victory. They must be destroyed like the Taliban.
