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.]

Maybe this year's "surprise" is the MSM firing a volly into their own (and Kerry's) feet.

Well, I just read the WND article, and frankly, I hope the Swiftees have a bit more planned for today...

You don't think that the article is strong enough. The evidence is there, but the story is not exactly new. I think that it needs to be expressed in stronger terms to make a real impact. But I am pretty sure that this is what they have. After all, it is proof that Kerry is a traitor.

Dan Rather's probably thanking his lucky stars that this clunker wasn't hung on him.

This is precious:

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?"

Kerry and his gang are 100% desperate. They are looking to try to LIE, CHEAT, SCARE, OBFUSCATE, and STEAL this election away via any means necessary. PATHETIC!!!

Ever since our President used the term 'Internets' I've used it. So have some of my friends. Sure it's another gaffe but for me it underscores one of the reasons I love the guy so much. Another friend of mine (extremely cynical and centrist) started getting on my case for using the term now. I told him I didn't want a President that was 'Net Savvy.' I want a President who is 'Kicking Terrorist Ass Savvy.'



You're My Boy, Blue!!
