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.
We do need verification ...
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.
It looks like it's 1 day behind. So maybe sometime tomorrow we can get the exact wording.
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.
Has anyone informed the loose canon yet?
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!"
LOL! We can now officially say this story has blown up in Kerry's face!
Good catch. I hope they put the transcripts online--but I'll bet you heard it right.
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".
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...
LOL! He's like the Scarlet Pimpernel--He's here, he's ther, he's everywhere
I will watch it. It should come on in about 8 minutes.
Thanks! That either confirms she said it, or else confirms that we're both hearing things!
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?
This is interesting but what's even more fascinating is that you actually watch ABC news! ;o)
Anyone have any buds over at AB......oh stupid me....NEVER MIND
FYI
Thanks - I appreciate any confirmation I can get (it's teh very last thing she says)
