Last Gasp Video

The Kerry Bunker is now seizing on a snippet of video shown by ABC in which a 101rst Airborne soldier enters a sealed bunker and finds barrels of munitions. One bunker. Unknown number of barrels. Not sure if it is an I.A.E.A. seal. An unidentified expert.


TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: newvideo
This is getting stupid! First Kerry and the NYT says 300 tons then the IAEA says three tons now a video of a few bunkers. This is only proving how desperate the democrats are! Yes some Iraqi weapons were looted and yes some Vietnam soldiers did bad things but it was not the rule it was the exception. John Kerry was wrong in 1971 when he said it was the majority of soldiers committed atrocities. He is wrong now when he said it was huge amounts of explosives, a grave mistake, 300 tons. Once again he is exaggerating the struggles of war to advance his own political career while he smears our troops. Are military is the greatest in the world! We need to take this fight to the media. We need to tell them this proves Bush was right!!! It was not 300 tons it was a few barrels!!!!!!!!!!!!

US forces have secured 400,000 tons of munitions... 3 tons, if true, constitutes .00075% of the total (.01 =1%)

Thanks for some sanity in this moment of "gotcha Democrat politics". I do believe that in order for Dems to rule they would destroy their subjects just to get power.

This was reported on FNC on the morning show. And, it was the last time I heard it until now. The MSM are committing a fraud on the American people, and we're not falling for it this time. They're actually helping Bush at this point, they look so corrupt.

NOTE: The video crew admits that they didn't go into bunkers with IAEA seals.


A 5 Eyewitness News crew in Iraq may have been just a door away from material that could be used to detonate nuclear weapons. The evidence is in videotape shot by Reporter Dean Staley and Photographer Joe Caffrey at or near the Al Qaqaa munitions facility

Go http://www.kstp.com/ to watch the video. In it, they go thru one bunker, using bolt cutters on a chain locking the door. then they come upon the one with the IAEA seal, and the soldier says "This one's going to be alot harder to get into".

Ultimately they say they never got in, but they show a picture of a soldier climbing up to look thru a vent in the side of the building.

The iraqis removed 138 tonnes of RDX. The IAEA did an audit in january and found there was 196 tonnes HMX, 3 tones RDX and 3 tonnes PETN.

Therefore the last time the explosives were visually inspected, there was 201 tonnes left not 3 tonnes.

The Kerry Camp made a simple mistake. There are 14 pounds of explosives missing and Elizabeth Edwards weighs 377 tons.

They're such idiots. What about the 400,000 tons we've found and destroyed?

Too late. The Head of the Lunatic Binge has been signed by SlimFast as its new spokesperson. Whoopi is not available for comment.

Yea, I discovered polling today that indicates Kerry's constant criticism of Bush is hurting Kerry. There's got to be a reason that Zogby had Kerry up by 10 in Mich. as of two weeks ago only to show Bush tied today. Gore and Cheney are going to Hawaii to campaign. Bush has gone from 5 down to 2 up in Penn. NJ is tied. Bush leads Wisconsin. Why? Because people are getting sick of Kerry's badgering! Tomorrow a poll is coming out indicating Bush will on be down in California by 7. There's a national movement going to Bush.

In the affiliate video they state clearly they did NOT enter the sealed bunker. The video of the explosives is from an UNSEALED bunker they clipped the lock on.

I totally agree. Even in New York, after the RNC, polls were showing a 4 or 5 point difference. Can you imagine if the MSM were actually doing their job and reporting the news? Thanks to them, it's been an uphill battle, and still we're winning. How can any sane person not be deeply offended by Edwards claim that the cripple would walk, if Kerry wins? They're sick and desperate, as you know, they lie, cheat and beg. I'd really like to see some campaigning in New Jersey. On O'Reilly tonight, a Bush rep stated that Ohio is "guaranteed". He said it twice.

If this is a "gotcha" then we have to suppose that the nerve gas warheads found last summer constituted WMDs.

Here's a compromise. We'll admit to "loosing" 3 barrels of gunpower, they admit that we found the WMDs.

(Personally, I don't care if they find any nukes or not. Removing a manifestly evil man from a position in which he could terrorize his own people and give aid and comfort to our enemies is justification enough.)

Shucks! I forgot again! The Pretender doesn't have a problem with giving aid and comfort to our enemies.

Or, it could be that Zogby has no integrity and was engaging in wishful thinking.
