But what help would that film be if it is indeed a video taped warning of an impending strike on US soil to Bush?

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

As in, "We can't keep up with our self-indicting posters!" - ?

Kerry says he's a hot-shot prosecutor.

Maybe his attendance record in the P.A.'s office was as bad as it is in the Senate.

Would you put Hitler into the Left or Right extremist camp?

I think that you are thinking of the similar images that Colin Powell showed to the Security Council. But, I also recall hearing that Saddam had been very busy in the days leading up to the war, moving around lots of stuff. I think that the assumption was that he was making the usual preparations for an invasion, which is exactly what moving the explosives would have been.

Kerry's lie is crashing and burning!!!!!

I trotted over to DU early this afternoon just to see what their take on this story was, and couldn't find a single thread about the Al Qaqaa explosives in their discussion forums. Yesterday there were at least five sperate threads. Crash and burn, dude! LOL!

Fox New's panel just destroyed Kerry's story and credibility though Mara tried to avoid the inevitable.

Does this mean that 11 of these trucks could have moved the "disappeared" explosives? Wrong kind of trucks but it's reasonable to suggest that equivalent flatbed trucks existed for Saddam's use.

Why wasn't this done like YESTERDAY?

Using the chess versus checkers metaphor iboth sides see the playing field and positions.

Whereas a poker metaphor has components that neither side can see what the other is holding. And more so, a poker player, especially a shrewd poker player manipulates all the players at the table. Kerry, DNC, MSM etc.

Do you want someone, a news organization or political organization telling you what to think? Is it not better to do your own research and critical thinking. 

As you do your research and thinking you accumulate facts and evidence that lends itself to forming a conclusion. The more facts and evidence from various vantage points the more solid the conclusion will be.

President Bush understands this. Kerry doesn't.

That Kerry's assertions are false, research and critical thinking will move toward proving his assertions invalid.  President Bush understands that.

He knows that most people can figure it out on their own resources available to them -- especially Internet resources. Thus the relatively tightly controlled words from the Bush camp. 

Bush understands that it's best for people to process the learning of the facts and truth rather than being told by an external authority what to think. He leaves that to Kerry and the mainstream media... They got the ball rolling in the first place.

That Kerry's assertions are false, research and critical thinking will move toward proving his assertions invalid. John Kerry understands that.

He knows that most people will figure out the real facts and truth and must jump out in front -- facilitated by a complicit mainstream media -- to hammer on people what they should think.

The Bottom Line...

Fact: honesty always outlives the lie.

Fact: it always has.

Fact: it always will.

Tic toc.. tic toc.. tic toc...

What Happened to Missing Iraq Explosives

.....and the Pentagon and the 3rd ID command has the file footage, both news and military, and all the documentation any 'reponsible' reporter could ask for.

I figured as much. Earlier today I posted the following to two threads:

"Anybody know the probability of this?...

"The military was expecting to find HMX, RDX and PETN behind UN seals. They would have video taped for catalogue whatever the found. Or, as it turns out, taken video that showed none of the above explosives existed at Al Qaqaa."

If you're interest in responding both links will take you to the posts:

I don't know what preciptated your remarks, but the New Socialism of the one worlders is nothing short of fascism, with the leftist elite remaining elite and the rest of us taking orders.

If anyone knew that the explosives were there before the war, then it was KERRY'S FAULT, because, if you recall, Kerry once said that he had met with UN officials.

Just ask yourself, "What did they speak about?"

Why wasn't this done like YESTERDAY?

I posted yesterday when all the excitable new freepers were panicing, that Rove is letting Kerry dig his hole deep enough that he can bury him in it. In furtherance of this concept, the real hunters out there will understand that you don't close the trap til the animal is in it.

And all the real fishermen out there know that you don't jerk the line for a catfish at the first nibble, you wait til it has committed itself so you can set the hook deep.

If the satellite imagery is definitive, all the news media will have the story, Bush will have additional soundbites that he can use that will get picked up.

And won't it be mahvelous if these satellite photos have been presented in a Senate intelligence committee meeting that Kerry and Edwards skipped, and that Bush can use that in his message to the voters these last few days? He can ask the voting public, "Do you really want a President who is so eager to win that he rushes to judgment on any issue before he knows the facts? Will he bring the soldiers home to a defeat based on untrue rumors of losses?" One can only hope!
