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.

Kerry's gonna be walking funny for a year after this gets rammed up his backside and broken off Nov 2.
He and Al Gore can share a rubber room.

The transcript is not yet posted on: http://www.transcripts.tv/world-news-tonight.cfm
It looks like it's 1 day behind. So maybe sometime tomorrow we can get the exact wording.
To: the Real fifi
Yes it does. However, if the IAEA has released new information, it may trump what was in older reports. I guess we won't know until we get a transcript of ABC News.

Probably less than the fireworks show at Bush's Inauguration.

That's 2.7 million grams of explosives that could be used against us!That's serious, indeed. Even more scary is the fact that it is 672 MILLION grains of explosives. OMG, the sky is falling.By the time this is over we'll find out it was 3 cherry bombs and a couple of twinklers, and Kerry will be saying, "Woah, someone could lose an EYE because of this!"
To: drangundsturm
Some people over at DU are already posting the theory that kerry was set up by Rove on this matter. LOL! We can now officially say this story has blown up in Kerry's face!

To: Soul Seeker
I believe I saw a report which stated the New York Times asked the White House to coment on the report the day before it broke. I suppose Rove decided "No coment for now".
To: hadrian
i should finish reading first - the transcript is most likely posted by now. But i want to confirm. i too heard/saw Martha say that a UN report said 3 tons. only three...
To: hobson
LOL! He's like the Scarlet Pimpernel--He's here, he's ther, he's everywhere
To: the Real fifi; Rokke
I will watch it. It should come on in about 8 minutes.

Well, it sounds like we have a second confirmation. Can anyone else confirm or deny?

Could all the purported missing explosives have blown up any worse in the MSM / Kerry faces?

To: hadrian
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. This is interesting but what's even more fascinating is that you actually watch ABC news! ;o)
