Crunch time for the MSM.
Never mind that Sadam had amassed it in the first place or that there were thousands of places needing guarding and only so many troups to do the guarding.
Remember back in the first days after the war when it looked like a bunch of museum pieces had been stolen and the RATs were trying to make hay over that. Would they rather that we guard the museum or the explosive bunker?
And that'll be no surprise at all.
IMO, if it's in the NYSlimes it bullship.
I don't think so...this is another gimmic to slash Bush close to the election...with all the chaos during the beginning of the war...this is a part of that...I can't see this being nothing mor than a hatchet job by Kerry's camp and NYT! BUT I thought I read yesterday this was supposed to be a front page article on KERRYYY!!! is this right???
Shocking.
so what do we got now, 2 October surprises? One from Drudge and the NY Times and one from joel Mowbrey and the Washington Times. This is too much.
The only thing I know is until the election I'm watching NO news shows. I'm going to Freep and listen to talk radio.
Sounds like WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION to me. I thought everyone knew that those don't exist.
Bottom line: Saddam had the explosives needed to trigger a nuke. These explosives went missing in the early days of the war. The Bush administration has tried to keep this secret.
The question becomes: why the secrecy? Is there some military significance to the secrecy, or is it a screw-up we have tried to hide?
The second question is: isn't this a critical component of a nuke program?
Right, but its very easily spun into evidence of Saddams WMD program.
jezz ...... i thought this was a bomb shell... just more rehash of what we already know in a new wrapper to spin spin spin .....
Time to come big Karl.
Oh, quit it. A troll posts another "October Surprise" piece of junk, and you all take the bait.
Pathetic.
This troll (9/11/04), is trying to gauge Conservative reaction to this story. Don't give him the pleasure.
This is an old story... Rush was talking about it over a week ago.
NOT IT ISNT BAD< JIMINY CHRISTMAS
If this is true, Kerry has an issue to slam the Pres with. The aftermath of the invasion was so chaotic and un planned that massive amounts of high quality explosives were looted and are now killing our troops and could wind up being used in off he shelf nukes. this could be very bad news for the president. His advantage is that a majority believes he can keep us safe. If it is shown that poor planning has heightened the danger the President is going to have a hard time winning.
I have a question. If the NY Times is going with it, and they are backing Kerry, doesn't that mean an October Surprise against Bush?
