Sounds familiar: LOTS of weapons and munitions from non-US countries.

The most frustrating thing about all of this is to know all these things to be true, to be so aware here at FR, but at the same time have that relentless wondering .......... wondering if the truth of these matters will get to enough of the other citizens before the election.
It is endlessly frustrating!

I saw this on H&C tonite, and I heard him on the radio earlier. Colmes tried to pick this guy apart, but he didn't succeed. The left just can't STAND the truth... in almost everything.

Another group arrived and stayed for 2 weeks the day after this guy left. Don't tell me they just sat on their butts for 2 weeks, when they there are bunkers to explore.

Yeah, but Laura tore Alan to shreds later about denying what he knows to be truth, that the vets feel betrayed by Kerry and the active troops overwhelmingly support their C-I-C.
Alan officially blew it with me tonight. I will not accept our troops treated with the disrespect he showed tonight. He confirmed he is willing to sell his soul to prop up someone he knows is of low character, all due to partisanship.

What group arrived to stay for two weeks?

true IMO the guy was not a very credible witness, it seemed like he wasn't really sure where he was, evidently he was just a grunt giving his opinion to the best of his ability, Nonetheless a great soldier no doubt.
But the entire demeanor and attitude of Turtle Head was absolutly absurd , I wish the guy would have decked him

Actually, there were only 32 bunkers to check at Al Qaqaa.
To: kattracks
If there were even only a dozen guys, you can be sure that,
unless those building were thoroughly sealed shut, they were searched!
One thing I do know, soldiers like to hunt thru places looking for interesting things!
Did it myself in 91' in Kuwait & Iraq.
Remember all those pics of soldiers touring Saddam's palaces?
Old fellow I worked with as a kid went to Hitlers 'Eagle's Nest' w/ 82nd in WW2.
He had quite a treasure trove of Nazi memorabilia.
Tie tacks, pens, belt buckles, etc with swastika emblazoned on em.

Sorry Ruth C, I haven't been able find the article or post again. I think it was another division of the 101st.

The facility was huge but I've never read how many bunkers there were, have you? I have read that there were many storage buildings however, which I'm sure were searched by other troops. IN ANY CASE, even if there were two hundred bunkers and three men searched them, that's about a half a day's work. After all, they weren't looking for finger prints, they were looking for very large containers that could have contained explosives. All they found were typical weapons and ammo.

So...The Russki's helped Saddam move W.M.D.'s to Syria...The radical left will not understand this at all.......
To: kattracks
Caution:
There were 11 thousand bunkers at Al-Qa Qaa. If there were only two that inspected them, that would have taken about a year and a half.

"What group arrived to stay for two weeks?" On another thread there's an officer from the 101st that said the forward elements were there for a day, then left. The next day the 101st HQ element moved in and set up there for 2 weeks.
I wish someone would contact General Petraus about this. He's back in Iraq now, heading up the training of the Iraqis.
