"Rush knew it was a lie. Why didn't Hannity or Brit? "

You're kidding, right? Rush is simply on an intellectual and professional mountain that the rest of these guys can't ascend, that's why. Sean is like a wind-up doll who quotes other people. Rush sets the standard with original thought.

Nothing on CNN, MSNBC or FOX web sites refuting the NYT lies. No evidence of significant blowback IMHO.

Now, it's up to Bush/Rove to decide if they want to make use of these fraudulent lies.

On Drudge this morning at 7 am PDT:

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON OCT 25 2004 22:45:05 ET XXXXX

NBCNEWS: CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ BEFORE TROOPS ARRIVED...

The NYTIMES urgently reported on Monday in an apprent October Surprise: The Iraqi interim government and the U.N. nuclear agency have warned the United States that nearly 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives are now missing from one of Iraq's most sensitive former military installations.

[The source behind the NYT story first went to CBSNEWS' 60 MINUTES last Wednesday, but the beleaguered network wasn't able to get the piece on the air as fast as the newspaper could print. Executive producer Jeff Fager hoped to break the story during a high-impact election eve broadcast of 60 MINS on October 31.]

Jumping on the TIMES exclusive, Dem presidential candidate John Kerry blasted the Bush administration for its failure to "guard those stockpiles."

"This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of this administration," Kerry said.

In an election week rush:

**ABCNEWS Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 4 Times
**CBSNEWS Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 7 Times
**MSNBC Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 37 Times
**CNN Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 50 Times

But tonight, NBCNEWS reported: The 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives were already missing back in April 10, 2003 -- when U.S. troops arrived at the installation south of Baghdad!

An NBCNEWS crew embedded with troops moved in to secure the Al-Qaqaa weapons facility on April 10, 2003, one day after the liberation of Iraq.

According to NBCNEWS, the HMX and RDX explosives were already missing when the American troops arrived.

"The U.S. Army was at the site one day after the liberation and the weapons were already gone," a top Republican blasted from Washington late Monday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors last saw the explosives in January 2003 when they took an inventory and placed fresh seals on the bunkers.

Dem vp hopeful John Edwards blasted Bush for not securing the explosives: "It is reckless and irresponsible to fail to protect and safeguard one of the largest weapons sites in the country. And by either ignoring these mistakes or being clueless about them, George Bush has failed. He has failed as our commander in chief; he has failed as president."

A senior Bush official e-mailed DRUDGE late Monday: "Let me get this straight, are Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards now saying we did not go into Iraq soon enough? We should have invaded and liberated Iraq sooner?"

Top Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart fired back Monday night: "In a shameless attempt to cover up its failure to secure 380 tons of highly explosive material in Iraq, the White House is desperately flailing in an effort to escape blame. Instead of distorting John Kerry’s words, the Bush campaign is now falsely and deliberately twisting the reports of journalists. It is the latest pathetic excuse from an administration that never admits a mistake, no matter how disastrous."

Why is the U.N. nuclear agency suddenly warning now that insurgents in Iraq may have obtained nearly 400 tons of missing explosives -- in early 2003?

NBCNEWS Jim Miklaszewski quoted one official: "Recent disagreements between the administration and the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency makes this announcement appear highly political."

CBS and the slimes have outed the entire MSM as Left wing fabricators and propagandists.

Kerry is STILL using the original Wash Post story! FOX just showed him give a speech--and he is STILL using the story in a nationally televised speech--part of which FOX covered!

"I think of it as my daily recon mission."

heh heh yea, I sometimes float over to al-jazerra and arabnews.com for the same reasons. Every so often they actually will have something interesting and relevent that isn't covered in the MSM. Note: that is a long 'every so often.'

It took a while for the CBS fraud story to reach critical mass . . . the same thing will happen with this, as the MSM/Kerry/UN tries to ignore us and hopes we go away . . . if we don't let up, they cannot ignore us . . . and this story consumes the media oxygen Kerry needs in his final week . . .

The initial WP story got MAXIMUM media coverage for MAXIMUM effect. The NBC story (the truth) is now stale news--and is getting almost no coverage now that the damage has been done.

I don't see this ANYWHERE in the MSM. I saw little of Guiliani with Bush... even less about Arnold's appearance for Bush.

All I heard yesterday was the Kerry slam on the 'lost' munitions and the 'return' of Bubba... same this morning.

This should be front-page stuff!

Lai Ling who was embedded with 101st Brigade just stated on MSNBC that they only stayed at this weapons facility approximately 24 hours and no search for weapons was carried out. She said that the bunkers were looked at, but no search for weapons. That they were enroute to Baghdad.

Also the following from Military.com

Battle Digest - 7 April 2003

101st Airborne Division conducts tests on chemical agents found near Karbala. Chemical agents may prove to be nerve and blister agents.
