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.]
Some in the media don't care and will do as they please and to hell with everyone else
Drudge has been careful about reporting, because he knows the left want to take him down
So I don't think he would release this info if it was just a rumor
I bet the "someone" who "Burped" this has links to the DNC!!!!!
The circle of people that believe the media is attached at the hip to the DNC has to be growing rapidly with this latest
revelation....
My letter to the NYT:
Sirs,
You might want to stop running fake stories about missing Iraqi explosives now that NBC's own imbedded reporter has stated on-air that those explosives were gone when our troops arrived, as well as the revelation that Iraq actually reported them moved before the vaunted U.N. inspectors returned in 2002. But somehow I doubt you will retract the charges knowing your usual disdain for the truth as it applies to Republican lawmakers and Presidents, but you might want to give it some thought anyway since the 3 people in America that don't know that your paper is nothing more than the official news outlet of the DNC might get wise like the rest of us have.
This is very apparent. One tiny screw up, and he'd be finished.

Bush to Request $70 Billion More
Oh the fresh smell of freepers in the air!
I remember seeing a picture in TASpector with a guy standing in the middle of a graveyard of tons and tons of buried bombs in Iraq. Article might have been by Shawn Mocomber. What do you call those things? Weapons of moderate destruction?
What is the difference between WMD and powerful conventional explosives? Is there a body count limit to delineate between the two? How about just go ahead and call these explosives WMD.
Write to the news chief at CNN here:

The DU'ers are going to sue him, cuss him out etc. They are sinking fast!
Interesting spin. But the Pentagon said the Al caca site was empty when they got there. Nothing else in the report actually accuses Bush of anything, except for Kerry's stupid statement. No dates in April were given, but we can assume that's when the troops got there and found the place empty, according to the Pentagon statement.
What is strange though is that Iraq officials waited all this time to announce that the stuff was missing. That could be because they didn't know themselves until after the beginning of the transition.
This is a big 'Hmmmmmm,' to me. Heh.
They seem to have removed that link. I notice at the DUmmie board they are using their favorite word a lot, they are in panic mode!
It would be great if we had some 'double agent' operatives
pretending to be helping the dems, feeding them juicy stuff
that could be easily discredited after they ran with it!
I hope we have special ops like that! The RATS are suckers for it
WATCH for the Juiciest SMEARs to begin THURSDAY
My hubby will be SOOOO happy -NOT - to wake up in a half-hour and realize I never went to bed.
Hmmm, maybe I should hop in bed and fake "sleep" until after he wakes up and leaves for work. He doesn't usually notice I'm gone til he rolls over, so it might just work!
Or he might just read this post... rats.
They're about 10 squares behind FOX News Channel (which btw hasn't even reported the story).
I looked and found it disgusting at how hard these losers are scurrying to try to bring down their own President and their own country at a time of war! Are they all in adolescent rebellion?? Do they think this is a football game?? I think I'll stay out of that traitor zone from now on.
Probably because they know we wouldn't do things like that.
At least I don't think we would. Would we? Hahaha.' Hope the dummies can't read the fine print.
Thanks,Do you think the networks will pick it up?
LOL! The sun will be up soon! ..but it's been worth it.
