1) Leak anti-Bush ammunition to the NYT.
2) Force NBC to refute the story in the next morning's TODAY SHOW...using their own news reports from embedded reporters during the original invasion.
He's a genius.
From today's press release from johnkerry.com:
“George W. Bush who talks tough and brags about making America safer has once again failed to deliver. After being warned about the danger of major stockpiles of explosives in Iraq, this administration failed to guard those stockpiles – where nearly 380 tons of highly explosive weapons were kept. Today we learned that these explosives are missing, unaccounted for and could be in the hands of terrorists.
“Terrorists could use this material to kill our troops and our people, blow up airplanes and level buildings.
“In May of this year, the administration was warned that terrorists may be helping themselves to ‘the greatest explosives bonanza in history.’ And now we know that our country and our troops are less safe because this president failed to do the basics. This is one of the great blunders of the Bush policy in Iraq. ..."
Kerry/Edwards/Dems have adamantly maintained that terrorists were not in Iraq before we pre-empted. Since stockpiles disappeared prior to the start of the pre-emption, the terrorists had to be there before we invaded.
Conclusions:
1. Major weapon stockpiles did exist
2. We should have invaded earlier
3. Kerry has been suckered into yet another contradiction.
