A New Low for Liberals: The Bogus Missing Explosives Story

[Steely Tom]

Simply stated, the 380 tons of high explosives that the Times says went missing after the Americans arrived, were actually missing before the 101st Airborne Division arrived on April 10, 2003.

Well, hell! That's Bush's fault too!

(steely)

[Lord Nelson]

Heh, I found the NY Post on-line. I haven't found one anti-Bush commentary. Wish I knew about this paper before (I'm a foreigner you see)

Media Shamelessly Shilling for Kerry and Kerry Brazenly Lying

Well, Kerry can lie his azz off, because the MSM will not call him on it. It makes sense that he would do such a thing. It's easy when you utterly lack integrity.

[GeronL]

Have you not been paying attention to the links where we get the articles we post?

[A CA Guy]

The news sources that are doing bad things like this are becoming "NON-ESSENTIAL" to the American public and they are losing all kinds of revenue.

My personal feelings are that with other cable news shows to pick up the void and the internet to verify the facts or do research, the main stream news is committing suicide by being an instrument for the Democrat party.

They are desperate to to over-turn Bush hoping this will help them bring it back to the old days, but that genie is out of the bottle and if they think they have a lack of influence now, wait until the main stream media sees how much weaker they become in another 4 years.

They definitely are working together. If you go back to the first debate (Sept. 30, 2004), Kerry said this:

That's exactly where we find ourselves today. There's a sense of American occupation. The only building that was guarded when the troops when into Baghdad was the oil ministry. We didn't guard the nuclear facilities.

---

Footnote: Al Qaqaa: Iraq Special Weapons Facilities (including nuclear weapons)...Iraq made significant progress in the development of the nuclear weapon implosion package, largely through efforts at the Al Qa Qaa establishment.

---

And in the 2nd debate (Oct. 8, 2004) he said this:

KERRY: A president's job is to win the peace. The president did not do what was necessary. Didn't bring in enough nation. Didn't deliver the help. Didn't close off the borders. Didn't even guard the ammo dumps. And now our kids are being killed with ammos right out of that dump.

---

Note the dates of those comments and compare them to the date of the NYT/CBS story about missing explosives at Al Qaqaa.

Yes, they're working together. And thanks to WPtG for this.

101st NOT the first to go in -- 3rd ID on before April 4th, 2003
Here is a CBS article from their archives (how ironic!)

Actual CBS story -- http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/04/04/iraq/printable547667.shtml

INDICATES searched widely.

U.S. Searches 'Suspicious' Iraqi Site
NEAR BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 4, 2003


U.S. troops found thousands of boxes of white powder, nerve agent antidote and Arabic documents on how to engage in chemical warfare at an industrial site south of Baghdad. But a senior U.S. official familiar with initial testing said the materials were believed to be explosives.

Col. John Peabody, engineer brigade commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said the materials were found Friday at the Latifiyah industrial complex just south of Baghdad.

"It is clearly a suspicious site," Peabody said.

CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction continues at sites where the U.S. thought chemicals weapons might be hidden.

"And although there are no reports of actual weapons being found, there are constant finds of suspicious material," Martin said. "It obviously will take laboratory testing to find out exactly what that powder is."

The senior U.S. official, based in Washington and speaking on condition of anonymity, said the material was under further study. The site is enormous and U.S. troops are still investigating it for potential weapons of mass destruction, the official said.

"Initial reports are that the material is probably just explosives, but we're still going through the place," the official said.

Peabody said troops found thousands of boxes, each of which contained three vials of white powder, together with documents written in Arabic that dealt with how to engage in chemical warfare.

He also said they discovered atropine, used to counter the effects of nerve agents.

The facility had been identified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as a suspected chemical, biological and nuclear weapons site. U.N. inspectors visited the plant at least nine times, including as recently as Feb. 18.

The facility is part of a larger complex known as the Latifiyah Explosives and Ammunition Plant al Qa Qaa.

During the 1991 Gulf War, U.S. jets bombed the plant.

Troops also discovered what they believe is a training center for nuclear, chemical and biological warfare in Iraq's western desert, Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks said Friday.

One bottle found at the site was labeled "tabun" — a nerve agent that the U.S. government says may have been used during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. The soldiers found only a small amount of the chemical, indicating the site was meant for training, not storing or deploying chemical weapons, Brooks said.

"In that particular site, we believe that was the only sample," Brooks said. "That's why we believe it was a training site. Our conclusion is that this was not a (weapons of mass destruction) site ... it proved to be far less than that."

Photos of the site showed shelves of brown bottles with yellow labels. Brooks said troops did not understand some of the labels and were collecting the bottles for examination by experts.

On April 1, Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan, in a statement on Iraqi television, repeated Baghdad's position that it had no weapons of mass destruction. Referring to reports that gas masks and other chemical gear had been found elsewhere in the country, he said the coalition might plant weapons of mass destruction to implicate Iraq.

"Let me say one more time that Iraq is free of weapons of mass destruction," he said.

"The aggressors may themselves intend to bring those materials to plant them here and say those are weapons of mass destruction," he said.

Perhaps the blame rests with the U.N. Security Council's blocking for Saddam and stalling the invasion.

[oyez]

Its alright to lie for a cause. The end justifies the means. The media carries it all out and it is not questioned any more. The MSN is just a transcription service with their own particular agenda.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

The chair is against the wall.

The chair is against the wall.

[shibumi]

It seems as if the media/KerryCamp/DNC/527s thought that after Rathergate we would never expect them to try ANOTHER bogus story. In their overconfidence and anxiousness to spring the trap, they shot themselves in the foot. Oh, wait, I forgot...self-inflicted wounds are a specialty of theirs! WELLL! Let's put them all in for a medal!

[Steely Tom]

Perhaps the blame rests with the U.N. Security Council's blocking for Saddam and stalling the invasion.

What's wrong with you? Are you against The Broothherhood of Maan? The Internaaational Commmunity?

Let me tell you something. Your kind of attitude never fed a single hungry chile, or whatever.

[cgk]

This made me lose my balance temporarily and while I was thinking about how to regain it a wet towel began to slap at my face and I opened my eyes

[Cincinatus' Wife]

All Kerry/Edwards special interest groups are LIBERALS first - and media, feminists, minority activists, environmentalists, antiwar, animal rights people SECOND. They just use their cause or their position to promote wedge issues and socialism.

The msm is willing to overtly and criminally debunk their nonpartisan claim to get back in power.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Thanks for the info and LINKS!

Bump!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The MSM just wants anti-Bush headlines for Kerry.

The majority of those reading and hearing these media sound bites and headlines don't read further or remember 60 minutes or what they tired to do.

It's up to those who are informed with the facts, to spread the word and get to the polls.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Thanks.

I needed that.
