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..." |

LOL!
Kerry pals at it again?
Doesn't Kerry have any sense of shame or an intact conscience?
The next thing we will hear from the terrorists in Iraq:
"We have received high quality explosives from the Americans at every level in the chain of command. The have asked us to engage in free fire zones against Iraqi civillians, cut off heads, blow up cars. These things have occurred on a daily basis and...blah, blah, blah."
LOL!
You forgot something....
AND WE ALL voted for Bush in 2000, but we can't bring ourselves to vote for him again while he kills our planet in the name of Cheney's Halliburton.
Nope. This is why we are at such a crucial crossroads. Imagine where we would be today if Gore won. What's sad, I think it will be even be much worse under Kerry. The very ideal of America itself, is once again intrusted to the American voter. We must not fail. Our founding fathers, and the men that died to make this country what it is, deserve better. We deserve better. Vote Bush!
If they had the explosives they would have shown them in the video. Obviously they're lying.
FNews is talking about this now.
Some NBC reporter (Jim Maseda?) brought this up on Imus. Started out making like this story was for real, but ended with some very conflicting statements. Also Imus brought up the Washington Times report. He didn't shoot it down, but just asked the report what he thought. The report then chimed in with the ABC report about there only being 3 tons of the stuff. All and all a fair report.
Imus is POed at Kerry for all the lying. "Almost pathological" to use his phrase.
Without a doubt - unless they start re-writing history and claim "credit" saying they already have used the explosives.
They obviously don't have anything, but the really scary thing about this is how closely they are watching our press and how much they want Kerry to win.
This is BS. These terrorists are capitalizing on Kerry's llegation that Bush's "mishandling of the Iraq War" has caused the loss of those high explosives recently reported missing.
The fact is that this material has been missing since about the time of the invasion of Iraq. This is an old story being given new coverage by the media sycophants to get Kerry elected.
I'm surprised they haven't claimed that Pearl Harbor was attacked and the Navy's battleships destroyed, too.
Anything to make Bush look bad.
I hate these people.
Yesterday evening Hannity, on his radio program read a short clip from the ABC video. One of the cited reasons that "the streets will flow red with blood" was "to punish Americans for voting for Bush". And now this, the propaganda is too obvious...It apperas that Mr. Kerry has another foreign endorsement.
(I believe this is why ABC will not broadcast the video)
No matter who is President or what they say if they act according to their claims there will be cities in the Muslim world that will glow in the dark.
It's really pathetic that he MSM will believe the Viet Cong or Islamic terrorist over our troops...really sick!
True, yet they seem impervious to that fact.
He's dumb, but he's not that dumb. He's about power and he'll do whatever it takes to get it.
It is simply amazing how many people haven't learned to connect the dots.
Now we have the terrorists making campaign ads for kerry!
LOL, it would have been deluxe if they'd worn their Kerry/Edwards buttons for the photo-op.
