380 tons? Yikes!

I am confused. Hanns Blix told us that the UN destroyed Saddam's nuclear weapons program?

The UN needs to decide.
1. Saddam had an active WMD programs.
2. Saddam did not have a WMD programs.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Oh yes, the John Kerry campaign will scream from the rooftops, it is all Bush's fault. Fact of the matter is, that if GW Bush had not gone into Iraq and gotten rid of Saddam Hussein, there would 380,000 tons of explosives hidden all over Iraq and in the hands of Hussein's terrorist friends. You can bet your bottom dollar that if John Kerry were our President right now, Saddam Hussein would still be in power and ten times the explosives the NY Times is crowing about would be in the hands of those evil doers that want to destroy America and Israel. Any American voter that casts his or her ballot for John Kerry has to have a scew loose. And... any American Jew that votes for John Kerry is signing the death warrant for Israel and themselves. Wake up fools!!!

The IAEA refused to let us remove 500 tons of Uranium from Iraq!

It seems to me again the UN dropped the ball on this one..

[Congressman Billybob]

Let's see. We have the UN's word that these explosives a) originally existed, and b) are not WMDs, since the UN could find no WMDs. But the UN bugged out of Iraq years before the war began.

So, were these explosives still there when the war began? Or could they have traveled to Syria, been buried in the desert, whatever? This would seem to be a basic fact that a competent reporter would have looked into.

But the story was in the New York Times. Ne-VER-mind.

Kerry speech writer gives copy of speech to NYTimes,

NYTimes excerpts speech ads nuclear for effect,

runs Kerry story on front page,

Radio and TV carries the NYTimes story,

Kerry speech writer takes out copy of speech,

give to Kerry,

Kerry cites NYTimes as source

The circle is complete and it's total see-BS.

Watch the merry-go-round today.

There is so much explosives in Iraq -- Gen Tommy Franks said recently it may take years to find and secure all of it.

[Just mythoughts]

Maybe a new lake is about to be created in Iraq.

[JustDoItAlways]

RDX and HMX are just like TNT. They have almost the same chemical composition. RDX was discovered in 1890 if that gives you a frame of reference. Nitro is more explosive than these other two TNT-derivatives.

[Liberty Valance]

I question the timing of this story. Did the "duck shoot" not work out for Kerry?

[FastCoyote]

This just blows me away.

In the editor's office, New York Times:

Bright-Eyed Reporter: Um, sir, a question about this explosives story...
Gruff Leathery Liberal Icon: What of it?
BER: Um, this is to be a hit piece of Bush, right? I mean, the tone and all - right?
GLLI: Of course! Of course it is a hit piece. Look! Right there - The White House wanted this buried 'till after the election! Right there proof of their cupidity!(blustering, foam gently dribbling down his aristocratic chin)
BER: But sir, the article actually um. It is um.
GLLI: Spit it out man!
BER: Well, sir, it proves that Saddam was a threat (points at article) that he had WMD programs going (points at article) and that it wasn't the fault of Bush at all (points at the fact that the stuff went missing before the invasion).
GLLI: (goes pale and sweaty, whispering hoarsely) ...Rove...
BER:(hesitantly) And um, Sir? This could only mean that the White House didn't want this out before the election - because it would hurt. Um. Kerry. A lot.
GLLI: (hoarsely)...I walked right into it. Damnit. Rove...
BER: And that would mean that .. um.. The White House ... tried to make sure, sir... that the election went fairly, since otherwise it would look like they held onto this until just now...
GLLI: (slowly turning brick red)... And so I broke it FOR them..
BER: Uh, yeah, boss.

The timing is unimportant. This has to be explained in some
way by the administration. This is a story the dems can
spin along with the networks and do heavy damage to the
Bush campaign.

Explosives? What explosives? There were no explosives in Iraq!!! EVERYONE know that!!!

"C-4 or its main ingredients were used in the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 U.S. sailors. Traces of RDX were found in an investigation of explosions that crippled two heavily fortified Israeli tanks, indicating Palestinian militants have obtained at least small quantities of the extremely potent material. "

So Al quaeda blows up the Cole. These explosives are missing from Iraq. The year is 2000.

Nope, no link here. Moveon.org... move on
