Also:

BRET BAIER reported on Fox, and this is a good point. Between the time the 3rd ID first looked and the time:

"U.S. weapons inspectors, the Iraq Survey Group, arrived at the site on May 27, conducting a full search of the 32 bunkers - and they did not find any of the IAEA-marked explosives."

This was the window of time to take the explosives if one assumes they were there after US Troops arrived. The original NY Times article estimates it would have taken 40 heavy trucks to carry it all. Although there was not a US unit guarding in Al Qaqaa, they did control all the roads leading in and out of the installation. There is no way they could make a movement like that and not be seen.

"At the very least he should give it prominent mention in his stump speeches."

I beg to disagree. Were he to directly do so would be to lower the Office of the President to the same bottom-feeding level as the challenger.

It will rightly be left to the Veep, to "Dick" the challengers, and (hopefully) to the RNC to bring out the facts involved in the old news story.

Jeez, even as I write this, W is making a counter that Kerry is jumping in without knowing the facts... and them Dems are rightly countering that now the Prez is on the defensive...

He'd have been better off letting others deal with it, IMHO.

Some may see silence as being surrender. Some of us optimists see W's silence as being a "such ridiculous claims don't even warrant a Presidential reply" comment. That is a position more befitting a President of this country.

Let others stomp on the pissants, let the President deal with the true issues, I say.

If Kerry wins, all of this is forgotten.

That's what CBS News, The New York Times and others are doing. If the beat George Bush, so what?

What if they're fired?

What if they're disgraced?

It just doesn't matter. Beat Bush is the only thing they understand.

Journalistic ethics - now there's an oxymoron.

You better make sure you vote.

You said it all. Bush has had pathetic responses. He started to respond today and he needs to KEEP AT IT AND NOT LET UP in calling Kerry and the media on this charge. Will he? Demonrats are so confident they will continue these slanders because Bush has always had a very lackluster response that quiets down while the Demonrats beat the issue to death. The Bushies need to keep up slamming this as the lie it is.

The President should use every opportunity to hit Kerry back on it if he can't get one of his campaign people on a program.

Pull it together. Please. The President delivered a stinging rebuke this morning, he did it in the right place at the right time, and he doesn't need Freepers or anyone else bathing in some bizzare fellowship of cyber "they're screwing this up" hysteria (or worse a "they're screwing this up" troll job) on his behalf.

Let the professionals work their world-class craft. Quit presuming that you have any standing to micromanage an absurdly complex and fluid process absent any insider information, insight or experience. Only ninnies and trolls would nitpick the timing of any campaign foray and foment doom and gloom because your particular timetable is not being met. I trust Bush, Cheney, Rove, Card, Hughes, Racicot, Mehlman, Dowd, Gillespie et al to do their jobs ... which they do spectacularly well without any Freeper round-the-clock supervision and input.

There's nothing wrong with the normal nervous projections, and this forum is a useful vehicle for venting. But the hyperimportant reflexive pessimism of some folks here, especially newly arrived folks, doesn't ring true to me and is not a legitimate use of the community.

Click on any FReeper's name that is a hyperlink, such as your own at the end of any post you make, or mine at the end of this post,
when it takes you to that FReeper's home page,
type in " Dog " in the box "view home page, enter name" (top right)
click VIEW
and there you are.

There may be an easier way to do it but that's what I know to do.

Enjoy!

one more thing.....a quote from a Liberal... they love it that the President hadnt done or said much first thing this morning when you started your rant to me:
NEWSMAKER QUOTE OF THE DAY

Boston Globe's Tom Oliphant: "This is a real critical day in the campaign. President Bush in my judgment has got to change the subject very fast today. You cannot have in the last week, I mean Iraq sort of came out of nowhere at the beginning of last weekend and unlike what I understand had been happening back in Washington where I wasn't in recent weeks, Iraq penetrated the local media markets of the country beginning Sunday morning in a big way. It didn't start with the missing explosives it started with that horrible massacre of the National Guard recruits because that picture was so dramatic it was just everywhere. But you had the massacre, you had the first report on the missing explosives, then you had the word that Iraq is going to cost another 75 billion dollars and probably it's going to have to absorb another 22 thousand American kids between now and the elections. The result has been to put Iraq front and center on the front page at the very moment the last people are making up their minds on the election. The President has got to change the subject probably today. This is media momentum you are seeing now and if it doesn't stop it's going to become political momentum."

This bears repeating!:

But in the Democrat playbook there's no
entry for truth. The party's longtime
strategy is to repeat a lie until people
believe it.

Bush's slow trigger
Robert Novak (archive)


October 30, 2004 | Print | Send


WASHINGTON -- Republican leaders are grumbling that the White House was much too slow in responding to Democratic attacks on George W. Bush about the disappearance of munitions in Iraq.

When asked by CNN about the dubious New York Times story that ran Monday, President Bush refused comment -- more than a day after its publication. Not until Wednesday morning did the Republican candidate start to reply to John Kerry's attack. In the meantime, Tuesday night tracking showed Kerry picking up sharply.

A footnote: No immediate effort was made to get retired Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of the Iraq operation and now a Bush supporter, to rebut Kerry. Plans for his response were not completed until Thursday.
