"Exclusive"?? Stuff that should be common knowledge?

Here's an "Exclusive": MSM IGNORES OBVIOUS EVIDENCE THEY THEMSELVES WROTE ABOUT PRIOR TO WAR!!!

Until 1 million metric tons of WMDs are found IN Iraq in ONE bunker (ie stockpile) marked as 'Proudly Made in Iraq' with certificates of authenticity personally signed by Saddam, Bush still lied.

The UN inspector reports from 1998 talked about Saddam having 30,000 liters of this and 40,000 liters of that. My backyard swimming pool, 15' X 30' X 4' holds somewhere between 40,000 and 50,000 liters. That's right - many of the banned "stockpiles" could fit in two tanker trucks.

Since sKerry has been AWOL more than 75% of the time from Senate Intelligence Committee meetings, and has been so busy taking vacations at Tereeza's many mansions, he likely hasn't had a chance to read any of that sort of thing. Besides, he gets his intelligence from MoveOn and Michael Moore.

CNSNews is a division of the Media Research Center, a credible organization that exposes lies and distortions in major media. Granted, the President shouldn't discuss these documents until they are verified, but at the proper time, his comments on the matter could bring this to the forefront.

Thanks for the info,I'm new to this site.

Kerry LIED, LIED, I TELLYOU, about no weapons of mas destruction.

If this is a (or the) "October Surprise" by a "concerned government official", maybe that official should have released the documents to the White House, or at least to a more "high profile" news agency than CNS. I'm sure the DNC and Kerry campaigns have already anticipated such a document dump. First the Democrats will "question the timing" of the release of any such documents. Then they discredit the source(s) (e.g. CNS, FOX and whoever else other than the MSM trumpets them). Finally, they will have Dan Rather's document experts examine the documents, and either pronounce them fraudulent or state (as they did not in the Burkett case) that lacking the originals they cannot render an objective judgement on them. The only way that such documents will gain any traction is if the President himself embraces the documents, and beats Kerry over the head with them. Unfortunately, Mr. Bush will then have to be prepared for the MSM counterattack, which will doubtless include the "quashed" Ed Bradley piece on the "forged" Italian documents that started the Niger "yellow cake" story (the intent being to show that the Administration doesn't know a forged document from a real one, i.e. that the Interim Iraqi government, for example, might have generated the reports in question).

The WMD are there.

I mean, here.

[oolatec]

Why not show these docs to the MSM? CNS is just preaching to the choir...

[freestyle]

I agree. I can't really figure out why (if ANY of this that I have read is true), that this hasn't seeped into being general knowledge. Even in the MSM, if all this stuff is true, how come no one says anything?

And why does Bush let Kerry get away with continually saying that Sadaam had no ties to al-qaeda? I can't figure it out.

I heard somewhere recently that there is a lot of disention in the intelligence community about all the WMD and links evidence. So, the administration doesn't want to say something and then get challenged from within the government...

... I don't know, but it is getting pretty frustrating to me that we can't get any support from the top on this.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

The hope is President Bush has directed his team to present this (and other) clear evidence to the public. However, why it has not been done to this point is unknown.

Could there be enemies in the President's inner circle?

Could they be among his most faithful seeming allies?

Is there an Alger Hiss right there in the highest echelons of the Presidential Advisors?

It seems to me there is no other explanation for the reticence to put forth the clear evidence of Saddam's WMD's that now continue to be proclaimed as nonexistent by the left along with the obvious connection between Saddam and terrorists worldwide.

The government official also explained that the motivation for leaking the documents, "is strictly national security and helping with the war on terrorism by focusing this country's attention on facts and away from political posturing.

Oh, yeah, that's believable.

[Burlem]

How long before the public hears about this news on ABC, NBC, CBS, and etc?
Perhaps big headlines November 3?
