I looked to see if anyone else had posted this - I apologize if I missed it - about 8 minutes into ABC World News Tonight, Martha Radditz ended up her report on the missing explosives with words to this effect:
Peter, late breaking information from IAEA is that when they last inspected the Al QAQaa facility in (January? March?) 2003, there were not 180 tons of high explosives, but only 3 tons.
She did qualify that I think by stating a particular type of high explosive - either MX(?) or the other of the two types, but whatever it was, sounds like there might have been a lot less left to be "missing" at any time the US forces could have been there.
Actually it would take someone even more powerful to keep John Kerry from making an A** of himself.
Thanks for the confirmation (both of the story - although not necessarily its accuracy - as well as my own sanity).
*bump*
Incredible set of resources!
Oh yes, she called it "a major discrepancy" or words to that effect.
My hubby flipped to MSNBC in time for me to see AL Frankenstein interviewing people in the street..he was totally trashing Bush and his supporters... *heading to the shower*
Is that explosives in your pocket, Mr. Berger, or are you just glad to see me?
You would think that something of this magnitude (3 tons) would be breaking news all over the Internet but I had checked the latest Reuters/AP/Drudge pages and there is not an iota of info regarding the subject of this thread. Doesn't anyone have an independent & verifiable confirmation that ABC said this???
Oh, they said it all right, I ain't crazy. But WHO HAS A TRANSCRIPT??
late breaking confidential reopert of signigicant discrepency
3 tons left in January.
"late breaking confidential report of a signigicant discrepency.
3 tons left in January."
From Radich.
Thanks for the further confirmation. Did she say of only one of the two types?
She said it, and now we need the transcript.
I do believe you friend!!!
I'm sure she mentioned a certain type -- two letters, but I can't say which letters.
I heard that but as I was typing, I could't not keep up. I would not confirm that myself.
THANKS - but with ABC, WHERE'S THE BACKUP (SOURCE)? ... or are Freepers being SETUP?
Rove wouldn't have to get to ABC, Kerry or the NYT. He only has to get to Elbardi (sp?) the UN inspector dude. The rest just happens.
And we all know that man is forsale to the highest bidder.
John Kerry is an IDIOT!! That is reason enough not to vote for him! That and the fact that he is a lefist, communist, terrorist-supporting liar...
It truly frightens me that there are people in this nation (and world) that are ignorant enough not to see what's right in front of their eyes...
2,724,053 grams brings the total back to an ominous sound and it will appeal to the lefty Euros who want Kerry.
