zzzz.. this is the October suprise for Kerry?
You're kidding right?
Iraq was/is brimming with HUNDREDS of thousands of tons of munitions (explosives, mortar rounds, RPG's, etc) Tens of thousands of tons have been destroyed, but God only knows where the rest are. How are these explosives any different then the thousands of tons of explosives elsewhere in the country?
The October surprise is that Kerry is still on his feet and polling in the 40's. Still no sight of his medical records, his military records, or his running mate's qualifications to stand a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Surely you must be wrong. Michael Moore showed pictures of pre-invasion Iraq and it was a peaceful place filled with love and harmony and kids flying kites. In addition, the 'Rats have told us that Saddam wasn't a threat to anyone.
Here's what must have happened. Iraq was a peaceful, loving place with no stockpiles of weapons. But when the out-of-control cowboy president George Bush began talking about an unprovoked attack on that innocent pacifist nation, some neighboring countries sent Saddam some weapons. They did this because it was the right thing to do, and I'm sure the French would agree. However, Saddam didn't believe in violence, even if attacked. He quoted Gandhi, and then dumped the weapons out in the desert, having no plans to ever use them. The poor, peaceful man then hid in a hole, not wanting to be a part of the evil violence that had been unleashed around him.
However, there were other pacifists in Iraq who were changed by the evil and unprovoked American invasion. When American troops came roaring into Iraq, raping and pillaging, and ravaging the countryside in a manner reminiscent of the armies of "Jen-jis" Khan, these pacifists were converted into men of violence. Their backs were against the wall, and they had no choice but to abandon their lifelong pacifism. Thus, they seized the weapons Saddam had dumped, right under the noses of the evil, but stupid, U.S. Marines. They drove 25 sixteen-wheelers up, spent a couple of days loading them, and drove away with the bombs, while our guys were busy raping teen girls and looting mosques.
That must be what happened, because otherwise there's something wrong with the 'Rat storyline.
