On the contrary, the NYT is going to use it as evidence of the Bush Administration's mishandling of the war.

it's about 350 tons of explosives looted from some arms dump in Iraq. It's going to blame the Administration for leaving it "unprotected" in the early days after the war.

This is such a hatchet job against Bush. Just like the Casper Weinberger non-story that was drudged up in the days before the '92 election, this is is old news that is being trumpeted as front page just to harm Bush. Despicable.

I'm afraid you're correct on this one. They will spin it to bash GW.

This is NOT the Monday morning Kerry story. The blogs are now saying that it will run on page one of the WAPO. If it's there, however, I can't imagine it hurting Kerry...unless the WAPO staff have lost their kneepads.

This story has been out for a while; the stuff was evidently professionally removed, probably by us, and I think the UN has been trying to force the US to admit that we were the ones who removed it. Claiming that terrorists have it and are running wild with it is a way of putting pressure on us, I believe, something that the Times would be very happy to have a hand in.

No, what I'd rather hear about is Kerry's Less-than-Honorable Conditions discharge. I want THAT story to break.

I'm going to be mighty P.O.ed if this comes out after the traitor is elected.
