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.
LOL
Some people over at DU are already posting the theory that kerry was set up by Rove on this matter. How rove managed to get the UN to participate in this scam has not been discussed, of course.
This is deja vu all over again like the CBS forgeries. And bush climbed precipitously in the polls after that one, we can only hope history repeats itself this time!
FUNNY!
Don't forget Chris Matthews.....he is still trying to push this....
Now he and Ron Jr. are pulling the same bullshit they pulled during MEMOGATE....."It does not matter that the report is based on false info....but the thrust"
RON....CHRIS......The thrust is false too...because its based on false evidence.
EVEN A CBS REPORT SHOWS THAT THE PLACE WAS SEARCED BY THE 3RD INF. AND THE IAEA WROTE...THE DAY AFTER THE FALL OF BAGDAD....THAT THE STUFF WAS MISSING.
SO KERRY IS LYING! THAT STUFF WAS MISSING BEFORE WE GOT THERE.
I agree - I really don't think I was hallucinating,a nd I'm not a new contributor to FR - is the broadcast coming on in western time zones for anyone? I heard it about 6:38-6:40 on WABC in DC.
I was looking for the report I was thinking of but it's hard to find..Several days ago it was revealed that while under control of IAEA a substantial amount of this stuff had been removed by SH.Duelfer and others at UNSCOM sought then to have all of it destroyed. It is,however, a dual use product and AlBaradei refused to do so. He just had the remaining stuff locked up with an IAEA seal. This still left about 380 tons of it. Though it again shows how culpable Baradei , not the US military is in all this, doesn't it?
Now Chris Matthews has another NBC Newsweek guy trying to cover for the Bogus Kerry NY Times CBS Hit piece.
I guess they can't have the irish funeral home worker, Lawrence Odonnell on now....after he had that mental breakdown on air and exposed himself as a Kerry worker last week.
Hadrian, it's certainly not personal, but a story this big needs to be confirmed big, too :)
I'll see if I can watch ABC news (gulp) this evening. I'm in CA.
It looks like the UN failed the first Kerry global test, along with CBS, and New York Times.
sorry - not on WABC (that's in NY) - but Channel 7 in DC (WJLA?)
Appreciate the kind words, all- I'm too busy to reply individually, dern it!
Rove is very powerful if he can convince John Kerry to make a complete and utter ASS of himself!
EXACTLY!!!
I've said it before
"I don't think the IAEA could find their A** with BOTH hands"!
2.7 megagrams!
No offense taken at all - I was listening and she was saying yadda yadda yadda - late news from IAEA ....
I am not doubting your word hadrian....but we can't act on this untill we have some documentation, certainly one the the braniacs in here can lay there hands on a transcript
What? Somehow I missed that about Lou Dobbs leaving CNN?? Must be traveling too much.
I googled ABC transcript services and the latest ones I could find were from last night - any have TIVO?
