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':
Dear
,
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.
You can read the article by visiting:

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.

"contained nearly 380 tons of deadly explosives"
More proof of why adjectives need to be removed from news stories and news discussions.
After all, is there something other than a deadly explosive? Would dynamite be a deadly explosive as opposed to "snakes", which are a boring yet non-deadly explosive? Or maybe we're talking about non-deadly explosives like jiffy pop. Although one could conceivably choke on the popcorn the explosive side of it is safe for the most part.
