| 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..." |

To follow up a thought. 1971 redux. Is Kerry in talks with Zawahari already?
It sounds as if they are trying to close up the gigantic holes in the first missing explosives story. This follow-up is a doozy.
"I am George Soros and I approved of and paid for this message..."
"So Iraq terrorists are coordinating with the John F'n Kerry campaign. Hmmm.
To follow up a thought. 1971 redux. Is Kerry in talks with Zawahari already?"
OUCH! Good one, but OUCH!!!
Well, well, look whose campaigning for Kerry. These people (Kerry and the terrorists in Iraq) are desperate and desperately need each other.
The media falls over to the left once again. They care not that they are pawns of the terrorists as long as it helps Kerry.
Ya think? :-)
LOL
Man, it sure does show how global the John F. Kerry "anti-American" rapid response team stretches, doesn't it?
Hoisted by their own or falling on their sword, hope they have some remnants of shame inside.
Fascinating, isn't it?
Yikes, that's a sKerry thought.
There is no reason to believe these people have this material. Have they had it for 19 months now and just decided to announce it?
As silly as this claim is, however, it is shocking that the AP and other outlets would report this as news. There is no reason to believe this claim, yet it is somehow news that the claim was made.
I used to think the media was biased. They aren't. They are way beyond bias. They have taken sides.

It's tragic and the slide down has been a many decades long occurrence. This though, this is a new low.
Avenger, I hope you are wrong, but at this rate, it sounds very possible.
Hi, GGSTV:
I wonder if I should remind these A$$ clowns that the red wire always goes from the battery to the Blasting Cap.
Ohhhh... yeah!
They should also remember that it's perfectly safe to crimp the connection between the Blasting Cap and the red wire with their teeth.
Jack.
The Al-Kerry brigade is chiming in. We got the 'splosives, boss!!
Considering their poor sense of timing, they're more likely to claim "credit" ex post facto.
These scumbag terrorists see all the handwringing in the press and decide to issue this video...nice job, John Kerry. Once again you prove how little you care for the security of America.
