If I'm Karl Rove, and playing chess while Kerry and Edwards play checkers, I'm planning several moves ahead.

• Step 1: Get NY times to put out story about Bush administration losing explosives
• Step 2: Get real story out that the explosives disappeared prior to coming under U.S. control
• Step 3: Remind people that Al Qakaa site was also a known as a WMD site
• Step 4: Remind people that trucks were sent to Syria from Iraq
• Step 5: Drop the Iraq had WMD October surprise.

On the other hand, I haven't played chess in a while

Hahah just was trolling over in Dummy land and they are freaking out.

Sounds to me like you play chess very well indeed :).

I can see it now: Kerry up to his neck in Al Qaqaa.

Sounds good, I do hope that Rove & co. are so on top of this issue as you suggest (I suspect they are, just want to see the whole thing play out). We all want to see the NY Times, the DNC, and most of all the Kerry campaign humiliated on this issue, but will the MSM follow up on the NBC story or just run along to the next leftist hit-job? The 'Rats jumped on the NY Times story - I received the following mass email today [I subscribed to their email list to keep track of what's coming out of the DNC/Kerry cesspool] railing about supposed Bush 'incompetence':

,

This morning, The New York Times published a story that offers further proof of how the Bush administration's incompetence and arrogance has endangered the lives of our troops and the American people.

Even before invading Iraq, the Bush administration knew that a huge facility called Al Qaqaa contained nearly 380 tons of deadly explosives. Despite the fact that they knew exactly where this facility was and what was there, they took no action to secure or protect the site. Due to the stunning incompetence of the Bush administration and their incomprehensible failure to plan, these explosives have disappeared.

Let me put this in perspective -- the bomb that took down Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland used less than one pound of this same explosive. There were 760,000 pounds at Al Qaqaa.

Our troops are the best-trained and best-led forces in the world, and they have been doing their job honorably and bravely. The problem is the commander in chief has not being doing his. George Bush refuses to recognize his failures in Iraq, so he can't fix them and is doomed to repeat them.

Thank you,

Might add to that Kerry indirectly, and unjustly, slamming our commanders and troops for not doing a good job.

"If I'm Karl Rove, and playing chess..."

I would make sure it became news that these "missing explosives" were close to a known stockpile of 500 tons of Uranium, but weren't in the same facility. (I think some of you may find this interesting.)

In May of this year, U.S. Forces were prohibited from removing 500 tons of Uranium from Tuwaitha.

It seems Al-qa-qaa is only a few kilometers away, but it is closer to Salman Pac.

Here is a good image of Salman Pac. Click on it for High Resolution:

All of these locations are within a few miles of each other and all were known production facilities of WMD. Salman Pac was also use to train terrorist.

Don't Steps 2-5 require the MSM cooperating? .. otherwise Carl Rove may as well be talking to a wall --No?
