John Kerry's Explosive Attack May Backfire (Great stuff Here!)

Washington Dispatch ^ | October 27, 2004 | CK Rairden

This one hits all the high spots, especially the point about how could this material be looted without a lot of Trucks and shows how the 3rd ID was seaching Al Qaqaa before the 101st got there.

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.

Please go to the site and read the whole article. It is well worth it. The excerpt requirements made me cut this to the bone.

Kerry deserves a politically fatal beating over this story. The closer you look at this story and how it came about, the more it stinks!

Keep thinking.....Maybe it's still there, buried/hidden under all that sand.

Kerry = Al Qaqaa, al the time.

I'm SO GLAD this whole issue came up. Really. I suspect that in his heart Kerry is not.

All the MSM did is validate Bush's claims that there were tons and tons and tons of dangerous stuff, dual-use "WMD type stuff (NUCLEAR TRIGGERS, FOR GOODNESS SAKE - ENOUGH TO GET THE IAEA'S ATTENTION, AND THEY AIN'T JUST TRAFFIC COPS), that could be looted and disappear (especially while the UN dithered for months). It also reminded people of the MSM's dishonesty and of Kerry's willingness to SAY ANYTHING to win, especially if it trashes US troops in the process.

They shot themselves in the foot, for sure. Anyone stupid to take the lies at face value was long in the Kerry camp anyway.

Kerry's lied about our military in 1971 and now he lies about them again in 2004. He was bad for America then and he is bad for America now. He is going down hard and the entire Democratic Party is going with him.

Naaaa, that's just his head buried up his ass!

Wrong dork, wrong place, wrong time.

Wrong face, wrong wife, wrong senate record, wrong vp, wrong daughter showing hooters, wrong, wrong wrong, etc..

[American Sovereignty Defender]

Kerry is shameless...despite his outrageous lies.

Kerry deserves a politically fatal beating over this story

So does the MSM

This is summed up perfectly. Thanks cvq, for nutshelling the whole debacle, or quagmire which ever word you like!

This should be in a commercial!

If I have to see that orange coat and that idiot closing his eyes when a ball comes again... I just don't know.

"The closer you look at this story and how it came about, the more it stinks!"

When you consider that all this crap involves a place that everyone is pronouncing as "Al CaCa", it's not really surprising.

A part of me wonders if this wasn't a stroke of Rovian rope-a-dope comedic genius.

[feel free to poo-poo my Al CaCa theory, if you like]....:)

[wack-m and stack-m]

An excellent read! Hmmmmm...facts and common sense...now there's an interesting journalistic style!

[Bean Counter]

I think it boils down to the fact that someone pulled the trigger on Kerry the Traitor's October Surprize.

I heard someone on Fox this morning make the comment that this amounts to "...a domestic Axis of Evil, featuring CBS, the New York Times, and the United Nations..."

How right they were!

Thanks very much - I am kinda having a run of "rants" on here today, and I'm glad that someone enjoyed some of it.

Rush has a caller on now reminding us of Colin Powell's presentation to the UN in Feb 2003 showing efforts to hide things - the call intercepts, etc. Weren't there trucks on satellite photos too?

One other thought, before I go back to work and make a little money and avoid being fired (!!!). Bush & co didn't always do the best job at getting out all the GOOD news from Iraq. I kinda wish I knew that there were 400,000 tons of explosives in Iraq and in that context (even apart from the slanderous "time line" issue) 380 tons is not a lot. the press made it sound like the mother lode, but it would have been handy if it were already common knowledge about the 400,000 tons.

Whatever. I care more about that Bush is DOING in Iraq than what he is saying about it. But at times better advertising beats a better product - ask any McIntosh user about Windows! Then again, Kerry is like New Coke - no amount of ads will sell this lemon.

So, I had a minor criticism of Bush. Sorry. I guess if he flubbed anything, we have to stay up until 10 or 11 on election night for our win instead of 9. I'm confident, but not cocky!

Have a good one!
