The more I hear about a convoy heading to Syria, the more I have to smile. This was the convoy (or one of many) that many intel officials were saying was used to smuggle WMD's out of Iraq in advance of the coalition. I can forsee a mass declassification coming real soon and I honestly believe we are going to hear of WMD's in Syria. Those of us on this board have known this for a while. To think that the partisan press's attempt for last minute election engineering will ultimately lead to killing their own long held claims of "no WMDs, no justification, Bush lied" is just too damned rich.

Iraq was awash not in hundreds of tons of High Explosive but in thousands of tons of High Explosive. The question the media fails to ask is why is this explosive so important as compared to the thousands of tons of other explosives. This explosive RDX in the form it was stored is not a particularly good to make bombs with as it will require modification and most importantly fusing. Fusing is the reason artillery shells are the bomb of choice for the terrorist in Iraq. The fuses in the shells make them very easily to wire and explode.

Why would Saddam want to move the RDX? The answer is very simple. RDX is one of the types of explosives that can be used in making an atomic weapon of the implosion design.

Yes the RDX was there.
Yes it was removed before our troops got there.
Yes it was important to weapons systems of Mass Destruction.
I am sure ABC NBC CBS will pick up on this immediately, and also speculate as to where in the hell it went to and why."SARCASM" Repeat after me mainstream media, "ACTIVE PROGRAM PURSING THE DEVELOPEMENT OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION."

True.

I still say that if Bush or Cheney had claimed on Sunday that there were tons and tons of NUCLEAR TRIGGERS monitored by the IAEA which disappeared just before the invasion, the left would have screamed "more WMD lies! October Surprise! dirty politics!"

But the NYT and Kerry stepped in it, big time, by publicizing the story and then having THE TRUTH turn around and bite them!!!

Tinfoil hat time: Maybe there IS something to the idea that the Clintons are trying to wreck the Kerry campaign. Did the story come from one of the many clinton people advising Kerry's campaign? LOL!

Or maybe the left is just so desperate and stupid.
