Armed Group Claims to Have Iraq Explosives

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- An armed group claimed in a video Thursday to have obtained a large amount of explosives missing from a munitions depot facility in Iraq and threatened to use them against foreign troops.

A group calling itself Al-Islam's Army Brigades, Al-Karar Brigade, said it had coordinated with officers and soldiers of "the American intelligence" to obtain a "huge amount of the explosives that were in the al-Qaqaa facility."

The claim couldn't be independently verified. The speaker was surrounded by masked, armed men standing in front of a black banner with the group's name on it in the tape obtained by Associated Press Television News.

"We promise God and the Iraqi people that we will use it against the occupation forces and those who cooperate with them in the event of these forces threatening any Iraqi city," the man added.

Nearly 400 tons of conventional explosives have disappeared from the al-Qaqaa facility south of Baghdad, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency..."

If they had it they would have used it.

tests have not shown these types of weapons being used in Iraq.

So I do NOT believe this

No, it is the Jihadists taking advantage of Kerry's inability to put national interest over his desire to be elected president.

Those knuckleheads can read a paper or watch TV. There is no doubt that they are taking advantage of the hoopla over this old nonstory, otherwise they would have made the claim a lot sooner.

Kerry has officialy crossed the line from Bush critic to terrorist supporter. I hope he rots in Hell.

Are you freaking kidding me. Yeah, I am sure soldiers of "the American Intelligence" just said, "Here you go mister terrorist. Take these explosives, please so that you can kill us later."

The crAP will buy into anything to discredit President Bush, won't they?

Agree. It's so easy for the terrorists to take advantage of the press - this is just one more opportunity they had hand-delivered.

LOL, yep, sure is. And it's very difficult not to get very angry about it, even at this hour.

If the US media falls for this and reports that the "Bush CIA gives weapons to terrorists" it is time to burn down their buildings.

HAHAHA!
Well no $h!t it "can't be verified."
"coordinated with officers and soldiers of the American intelligence" my ass.

What are the chances John Kerry will jump on this story tomorrow, too?
We can only hope. It will certainly be a good gauge of just how desperate he really is.

So what's not to believe about

"The speaker was surrounded by masked, armed men standing in
front of a black banner with the group's name on it"

I mean, how much more proof would anyone need?

Lemmie see, where's my ski mask and black bed sheet - I'm sure I can get on one of Kerry's political ads in no time flat....

Another example of the enemy parroting John Kerry's words.
