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

Let’s let the nervous reporters at NBC off the hook.... As it happens, the 3rd Infantry Division arrived at al Qa Qaa a week earlier on Friday April 3rd, 2003. Published Reports from the Associated Press and CBS verify this news and leave no doubt that they took a long look around the sprawling facility. In fact according to the AP, Col. John Peabody made reporters aware that the 3rd ID had “found thousands of 2-by-5-inch boxes, each containing three vials of white powder, together with documents written in Arabic that dealt with how to engage in chemical warfare.” Col. Peabody also informed CBS that, “they discovered atropine, used to counter the effects of nerve agents.” Some of you likely recall this story, as it was very big news at the time and all over network and cable news as any story that even resembled WMD captured entire news cycles.

Both reports are dated April 4th, 2003, but the New York Times omits them from their reporting.

So—here’s where we are. 380 tons of HMX and RDX were apparently located at al Qa Qaa at one time. The last time that Al Qa Qaa was looked at by the United Nations was March 15, 2003, four days before the war. The 3rd Infantry Division arrived on April 3rd 2003. When the 3rd ID .... That means the 3rd ID was on the lookout for WMD and would have been scouring the facility for any signs of explosives, conventional or otherwise. Some of the explosives may have been destroyed in bombings if any remained at Al Qa Qaa, but as the rest is missing that leaves an easy question—how was it moved out of the complex?..."

DOG PILE ON KERRY!

Russia tied to Iraq's missing arms

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE: Officials Say Chances of Enemy Ordnance Move Nearly Nil

"..The chances that enemy forces moved 377 tons of heavy ordnance out of the Al Qaqaa arms facility after U.S. forces arrived in the area are nearly impossible, said Army Col. David Perkins, who commanded the American troops who took the area during major combat operations in Iraq in 2003.

Perkins commanded 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division. A unit under his command, the 3rd Battalion, 15th Infantry, entered the depot on April 3, 2003, and defeated the enemy forces there in a two-day battle.

The U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency had tagged the explosives at the site and departed before hostilities started. On May 27, 2003, experts with the 75th Exploitation Task Force confirmed the IAEA-sealed explosives were missing.

Perkins, now assigned to the Joint Staff, said it is "highly improbable" that the enemy was able to take the explosives out any time after U.S. forces arrived in the area. It would require "that the enemy sneaks a convoy of 10-ton trucks in and loads them up in the dark of night and infiltrates them in your convoy and moves out," he said. "That's kind of a stretch too far.[snip]

[snip] The depot is located at the intersection of two major roads. Both are major convoy routes for American supplies going into Iraq, and they were jammed with U.S. vehicles at all times. There is no evidence, Pentagon officials said, that there was any large-scale movement of explosives – or anything else for that matter – from the facility.".."

You are all wide of the mark.

Writing to them is a waste of type.
They don't need you, and they don't care if you turn blue and Die.

Where we all have to focus 100% effort is on identifing and deluging the Advertisers.

Boycott the NYT= $1.00
Boycott their advertisers = millions.

Keep that type of pressure on, and they will fold.
If we can really sustain such an effort, it will work.

The shareholders of every one of those advertisers will scream bloody murder - Think Sinclair...

Can we do that?
