Armed Group Claims to Have Iraq Explosives

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- An armed group claimed in a video Thursday to have obtained a large amount of explosives missing from a munitions depot facility in Iraq and threatened to use them against foreign troops.

A group calling itself Al-Islam's Army Brigades, Al-Karar Brigade, said it had coordinated with officers and soldiers of "the American intelligence" to obtain a "huge amount of the explosives that were in the al-Qaqaa facility."

The claim couldn't be independently verified. The speaker was surrounded by masked, armed men standing in front of a black banner with the group's name on it in the tape obtained by Associated Press Television News.

"We promise God and the Iraqi people that we will use it against the occupation forces and those who cooperate with them in the event of these forces threatening any Iraqi city," the man added.

Nearly 400 tons of conventional explosives have disappeared from the al-Qaqaa facility south of Baghdad, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency..."

The media is so desperate to help Kerry win, they have completely disregarded all ethics. It's clear what the democrats strategy is: keeping stringing out this lie until election day, hoping enough people won't be able to make sense of it and ultimately blame the President. We really need to squash this.

My first thought! I hope he jumps in with both feet! After all, his "more extensive" military background qualifies him...HAR!

Dawn said: "We can thank the NYTimes and John Kerry for giving the terrorists a "new threat" to use (a baseless threat, but still a threat)."

Your message bears repeating.

DNC terrorists for Kerry dispute the reports of the explosives being moved to Syria by Russian agents?

Non! I don't believe it!

I'm sure they will be having another midnight "WEDDING" soon. Our troops can drop a few "GIFTS" off in a flyby.

Anyone want to bet on their next move: they will carry out a large car bomb in Iraq and say it was with the stolen explosives. Then, our media will run with it as so called proof. Sad!

I had to go see what DU had to say, and even those folks are saying that Kerry shouldn't touch this and just let the media carry his water.

That cheers me up, as when even DU can see that this is so transparent that it will damage Kerry if he goes near it, it must be blatantly obvious to anyone with a vestigal brain stem that it is completely bogus.

The difference is that they believe the worst journalists and discount the truth tellers.

That's the exact reason I hope he does run with this story. It'll make him look like a fool.

I'm sure you're all going to find this shocking, but the folks over at DU actually BELIEVE the terrorists story about coordinating with American intelligence to provide them with these explosives!

See for yourself!...

"The CIA was working with the terrorists and gave them the weapons, it is over for Bush, he is done."

...I'm not making that up--it's an ACTUAL quote from the DU thread on this story.

LOL. Trying to laugh about it - just sickening watching main stream media sliding this far down.

The next thing we'll read is that the armed group has dressed the weapons in one big orange jumpsuit and is threatening to behead the weapons if we don't release all female Iraqi prisoners.

If the American people vote for the terrorists and Kerry in this election, we should rename our country West Spain.

It's good to see the DUmmies actually drank the kool-aid today.

If you believe the DUmmy crAP, Bush's CIA gave the terrorists explosives so that they could use it against our own troops, which would kill more American soldiers, and put pressure on the Bush Administration from dove losers like Kerry.

Yep, sounds like Bush is part of a CIA conspiracy to me. /Not. One can see that once again, logic is not the DUmmies' strong suit.

They say such things because it is something THEY WOULD DO.

So Iraq terrorists are coordinating with the John F'n Kerry campaign. Hmmm.
