the white house could send Bush to a microphone any time they wanted, they don't do it. they could have done it yesterday - not to claim some massive WMD find, but just to note that this had occurred and was being investigated. The political team is media tone deaf.

Or not. Think about it this way: would the media trumpet a story on WMDs that was broken through the WH? Not a chance. It would be spun by Kerry and the talking heads as "yet another desperate attempt by Bush to excuse his lying actions and bumbling in Iraq."

If, however, the media themselves are allowed to "break" the story, they're going to fall all over themselves to do it. It's too big to let go. The pieces seem to be falling into place now. And what's better, by letting the news come out at the hands of the media, it leaves the Democrat naysayers twisting slowly in the wind....

"Jordanian TV coverage of the Zarqawi plot included video footage of hundreds of gallon jugs containing chemical weapons that had been intercepted 75 miles from the border with Syria,......"

- Why havn't we seen this video since it was aired?? If this report is true, the "weak horse" media have been deliberately witholding information from the public.

I think the democrats know this story is going to grow. Kerry recently made comments that we may find WMD. Last night on H&C (I think it was H&C) some leftist was spinning like crazy -- not trying to deny that the sarin is part of Saddam's arsenal, but rather trying to give the democrats credit for knowing about WMD and blaming Bush for not dealing with the WMD in the correct way.

They're prepping for what they believe is coming.
