This from a guy whose got a bunch of Dukes of Hazzard crap on his page. I'm so insulted

Listen Cyborg rocks. You don't know. She had Stormfront all wrapped up in their shorts one night.

Welcome to FR.

O'Donnell is in a padded room now with a spittoon or froth bucket. The psychiatrists can't get him to stop crying "Liar!" They're keeping him until at least November 3 for his own good. :o)

[cyncooper]

Well, they have to come up with something. We were promised a "surprise" by the Dems and the month almost gone.

And all they came up with is this recycled mish-mash of "news".

It's old and it's not a "surprise".

Your sentence is just too long for me. By the time I got to the end I forgot what the original point was.

[cyborg]

I've had pics of Rhodesian infantrymen with their guns on my profile page. I have eclectic interests.

[lavrenti]

You can't be serious. This is the story?

Of course 380 tons of high explosives would disappear, particularly if it was not supposed to exist to begin with.

This is a non-story other than it does add to the evidence that Saddam was developing WMDs.

"No the sky is not falling, but if a few hundred of our soldiers die in a few days that will be devastating."


What on earth makes you think that a few hundred of our soldiers would die in a few days? We have been in Iraq for >18 months and we have only lost over 1000. A few hundred would be a lot in a week, don't you think?

[Eastbound]

What a screwed up hit piece and loaded with redundancies. Sure doesn't want the reader to overlook that it's all Bush's fault. It reads like the author is having an orgasm while he was tapping it out on his keyboard.

[airborne]

"Amazing that 90% of the "sky is falling" crowd all signed up within the last 10 days."

17 ... and counting!

[BonnieJ]

This isn't really their "surprise" is it? It seems rather tame for the N.Y. Times, they must have a series of follow-ups. It's hard to believe that there are a lot of undecideds who actually will vote at this point anyway.

[arasina]

You're cracking me up, airborne. :o)

[cyborg]

Yeah hehe that was fun.

[TheForceOfOne]

Have faith! All will be well.

[MarMema]

Another one? My gosh.

[Arizona Carolyn]

If everyone will remember right after the way the FOX guys were showing us place after place full of munitions, vests rigged for use by Suicide Bombers, schools loaded with weapons... it was a mess... at the same time we were desperately looking all over for any WMD's. I don't think it would have made a difference if we'd had a million solders in there we couldn't have secured everything.

We also don't know if Saddam, himself, or his sons didn't order that stuff unsealed and moved somewhere. We know that Zarqawi was already in Baghdad and Saddam knew he was there and where he was located.. wouldn't have taken much to say -- "oh by the way" -- as we rolled into Baghdad.

I'm not denying that the Administration probably knew about this and if there is one thing ALL administrations are famous for is keeping things quiet when the truth would do better --like Oklahoma City Bombing, TWA800, etc.. the collective group of them need to learn that we would trust our government more if they leveled with the public.

[Txsleuth]

Huh?

[uglybiker]

Actually, Dukes of Hazzard would be best classified as HORROR.

They totalled an average of 6 Chargers every episode.

Oh! The horror!!
