"I'm sorry folks...but the scumbags in the media are going to play the original New York Times story till the election. Even ABC News Radio is playing this as the real deal. Unless we can hit these basta##s back hard and soon..they will ride this all the way. No bit of evidence or questions seem to change the story in the lame-stream media...they still run it as gospel."

You have it exactly right, I'm afraid. Folks, we only have to look at the way all the swift boat vets were treated by the MSM. Truth does not come in to play here. Only Bush has the podium & the MSM will be forced to carry the main points. If Bush does not challenge this, it will only fester.

I like it - I like it a lot. We don't need the MSM anymore... and now we need to get out the word.

Good Grief...I logged on to post that very idea..
Mine is based upon the fact that there were cities in that area 10,000 years before our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born.
A maniacal despot would have people looking for the entrances to the tunnels that are there. No one really knows what is under the sand in Mesopotamia-Persia-Fertile Crescent

Trust me, we didn't blow up 380 tons of high explosives in air strikes. If we had, there would be a huge hole where the explosives had been.


"Yes but Dana Lewis the embed said he "Saw a lot of bomb craters" and this stuff was still in the powder form and not mixed for explosives yet.

380 tons of this stuff would have left a hole looking like scaled down version of the Grand Canyon.

I'm just your average citizen but I'm inclined to believe Oil for Food program hid more than we could imagine.

According to this item there were tunnels in Tuwaitha, why not Alqaqaa?

Feb 21, 2003 CBS "60 Minutes" does a report about tunnels and WMD.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/02/21/60minutes/main541565.shtml

Can DOJ close 60 Minutes down and NYTimes?

That's because Soros "bought" the media for this election -- but there is another thread here that it's going to come out on the 28th on the steps of Congress! This the paragraph that stood out to me:

All of this will be presented in our new report, The Hidden Soros Agenda: Drugs, Money, the Media, and Politics, which will be released at a Capitol Hill news conference on Thursday, October 28

If he was either in a plane or in front of a crowd all day yesterday and today... it had to be produced BEFORE the article hit the streets.

Bingo! If we existed with a truly objective media they would be all over something like this. As it is, we are stuck - thanks to CFR with this garbage. The question is, what did sKerry know and when did he know it? Shouldn't the FEC become involved with something like this? The coordination of print and tv "news" organizations with a campaign is too egregious to ignore.

This dog ain't gonna hunt... a bunch of missing explosives just aren't "sexy" enough to cause a scandal.

If this is all the Demonrats have got (and it looks that way - the careful orchestration of the Spew Yuck Slimes article with Ketchup Boy's attack posture, etc. etc.) they've really hit bottom.

Now, to further complicate their problems they've been "outed" - the story is completely bogus and anybody who tries to put it out WILL get asked, whenever possible - and remember, even "Perky Katie" has started asking dubious questions - about the "Allegations" that the Big Bad Explosives weren't even there when the troops got there.

Butter 'em... they're toast...
