BREAKING: Satellite images reveal heavy truck activity at Al QaQaa prior to Iraq war

FNC | 10/27/04 | Bret Baer

[Steven W.]

Brett Baer on FNC reports that the Pentagon is reviewing sattelite imagery which reveals considerable truck activity in the days leading up to the Iraq war. The DoD is considering releasing the photographs.

[Wolfstar]

Hard information that shows the explosives may have been gone before we ever got there.

The explosives and the WMD everyone knew Hussein had.

[RedLightBob]

Not at all surprising.

How long did we pussyfoot around with UN, France, Germany? Answer: Too Long.

We gave SH & company enough advanced warning about going in that, I am sure, they're not the only things that were 'wnet missing.'

I believe we probably waited too long before invading both Iraq and Afghanistan.

BTW, wasn't Iraq engaged with some WMD program with Sudan prior to the invasion? Maybe we are just looking in the wrong place?

No matter. At least we're finally getting the job done now.

Guess the incompetent and stupid Bush didn't have the intelligence to bomb those trucks. Oh wait, we hadn't invaded yet. Oh well, never let inconvenient facts get in the way of a good political accusation

We didn't rush fast enough in our rush to war.

[antceecee]

I always felt strongly that the French/German/Russians were advising and supplying Saddam militarily. All evidence coming to the forefront now supports collusion of the highest degree. I have a feeling the Euroweenies know exactly where these explosives are.

Off topic--DU site is down now. Mmmm.....I question the timing of this.

[Post Toasties]

Let's not call them Leftists anymore.

Yes, let's call them Leftists - their dishonest antics are typical of Leftism.

Leftists want freedom.

No, they don't.

[YoungKentuckyConservative]

How about mentioning the caravan that fled to Syria courtesy of several Soviet Limousines? Oh wait! We all forgot about that, didn't we. Man are we a bunch of stupid, simple Americans that don't ask questions.

Where is Sandy Berger, anyway?

[pete anderson]

Too bad that our satellites could not follow where the trucks went.

[Publius6961]

If the media wanted the truth, they don't need DOD imagery. There are European sources that will sell imagery to anybody. And it's better resolution than what our own government allows us to see.

Why didn't they go after it?

[CT CONSERVATIVE]

Look its so plain: He has NO chance of winning now...thats a clear fact (trust me) so left with that what does he have for a choice? Double up and roll the dice? Of course ..its human nature...problem will be for the demoncrats is he is going to cost them dearly (in terms of close races) in the senate and the house. He's over the waterfall folks at a high velocity and the rocks below are growing HUGE!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

At the very least Bubba should have stood up to saddam instead of moving back that line in the sand everytime saddam crossed it.

[tanknetter]

Why wasn't this done like YESTERDAY?

To drag the story out a couple of days, allow Kerry to tighten the noose around his own neck, get past the World Series and to a point where the Bush surrogates on this weekend's talk shows will be able to demonstrate conclusively that Kerry is completely, utterly feckless.

[RedLightBob]

With all the landmines that were located in Vietnam and Cambodia, its REALLY AMAZING that JOHN KERRY made it back ALIVE!

[sinkspur]

Today's words v. the explosives in Iraq were definitive but I was unnerved by the chuckling.

Hey! A newbie is "unnerved" by Bush's chuckling!

What else about Bush are you "unnerved" by, newbie?

[cgk]

Yes it does, EXACTLY RIGHT... here is what I posted yesterday a couple times:

---

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.

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

This just in... The imagery shows Sandy Berger stuffing explosives down his pants while Terry Mac. drives off in one of the trucks.

MR. KERRY - WHO'S YOUR DADDY NOW????

[SquirrelKing]

*grin*

Kerry was intoning at the top of the hour that "This is a scandal that is growing..." as if people are convinced.

[jennyjenny]

Get it out NOW,Get it out NOW,Get it out NOW,Get it out NOW,Get it out NOW, it will be too late..this will hang them once and for all..the whole world knows we have GREAT military sat pictures..Show them and save the Union!

What, and spoil our fun for one more day? You're not a big party pooper, are ya?

[Mike Fieschko]

Too bad that our satellites could not follow where the trucks went.

Why does everyone think only satellites provide imagery? Manned overflightsa ... UAVs ... SEALs ...
