Missing Weapons? Blame the Russians
October 28, 2004 09:43 AM
The Washington Times dropped to the bottom of the integrity scale by leading with a story that definitively blamed the loss of hundreds of tons of high explosives (HE) on the Russian military. Their story was based mainly on the views of one controversial Pentagon staffer, John A. "Jack" Shaw.
Earlier this year Shaw was reportedly involved in a controversy involving the former Iraqi golden boy and now criminal, Ahmed Chalabi. The scandal involved the awarding of cell phone contracts to three companies with close ties to Chalibi. According to the L.A. Times, he was put under investigation by the FBI.
From reports of Shaw, it would seem that this government employee runs fast and loose. When investigating a contracting matter, he allegedly was refused entry into Iraq and then dressed up as a Halliburton employee in order to gain entry into the country.

Keep revealing your true colors here on this board. Do you think FReepers support the idea of you hoping Putin would assassinate any American, including Kerry?
And all this time you've been comparing Putin to the Second Coming of Christ? Sounds more like the second coming of Stalin.
That was an off topic post, I agree.
It is called a joke. Marmema made a funny.
The "political opposition" being jailed are thugs and mafia.
Putin does not control all of the media, but a great deal of it is controlled by mafia.
And the system of central leadership Putin is suggesting has been used in Italy for a long time.
Not every country has to be a look alike to our country.
In many ways Russia has much greater freedom than we do.
Finally all of the crap spewed by Kerry was the same crap being spewed in Russia by the liberals there.
It amazes me how many here on FR are spewing the same liberal viewpoints, just keeping in the safety zone by using Russia to display them.
Yes. Most of my spoiled fellow Americans neglected facts from that Debate while concentrating too much on the voices, mannerisms, apparel, and so forth, of the contestants in the Debate.
Kerry is capable of bringing much unnecessary danger to the world. He might avoid his duty of defense of the USA and allies by small actions and allow bad situations to grow larger and more dangerous against us all. He is also capable of becoming aggressive against countries that intend no aggression against us. Most US Democrats are materialists. They are also leaning more against uses of force (Stalin-ish but more for fascism, where corporations would be owned privately but more controlled by the government) to get what they want.
US and European left/liberal groups will do anything to get more power and material wealth from others. Their accusations in conspiracy stories are what we call, "projection" of their own plans.
You don't think that's a bit overboard?

OMG, THIS IS HOT!
In an exclusive article published in The Washington Dispatch today, Shane Cory blows Bill Gertz's story, about Russian complicity in "Qaqaa-gate", clean out of the water! Bases-loaded home run for Shane Cory!
Uh, only one problem...
LOL, there is no "Washington Dispatch"! That website is a web fiction set up by, run by, written by and staffed by, none other than Shane Cory. He does that in order to lend an air of "journalistic credibility" to his anti-Bush, Libertarian, whacko diatribes.
When not pretending to be a reporter, Shane Cory is actually the webmaster for the Libertarian Party national website and a staff member of the LP national office. You remember the Libertarian Party, don't you? That's the party so craven that they would rather bend over for the islamo-fascists, than stand up and fight for America.
You've been had, pal.
(And that's giving you the benefit of the doubt.)

Lastly, you went into a diatribe - yet could not disprove one word the editorial said about Gertz's one and only named source for this story - Earlier this year Shaw was reportedly involved in a controversy involving the former Iraqi golden boy and now criminal, Ahmed Chalabi. The scandal involved the awarding of cell phone contracts to three companies with close ties to Chalibi. According to the L.A. Times, he was put under investigation by the FBI.
Is that how credible you can get?
Whatever. The link goes to an article on Frontpagemag.com.

You see, this is how slimy your Libertarian source gets.
Yeah, Shaw was "involved in the controversy", because he was the one that uncovered, disclosed and thwarted the controversy, which "involved the awarding of cell phone contracts to three companies with close ties to Chalibi".
Just as Jack Shaw was at the forefront in the uncovering of the Israeli spy network operating inside DOD this year and working closely with the FBI in prosecuting that case, so to was he DOD's point man in the case you so falsely presented here. And for this reason, Rumsfeld and DOD stand foursquare behind Jack Shaw.
But the one good thing your fraudulent post and responses did here, was to confirm that you are knowingly acting as the Libertarian Party's point man for spreading those despicable lies here on FR and intentionally undermining Bush's leadership in the GWOT.
"Libertarians are the enemy now", you ask? Hell yes they are!
--Boot Hill
Yes, Cory's mention of the Deputy U.S. Undersecretary of Defense dressing up as a Halliburton employee to get into Iraq was very suspicious and completely irrelevant. Besides bashing the President, Cory's obviously feeding the radical left with his ridiculous conspiracy paranoia.
irrelevant like heck - it is one of the reasons he is being investigaed by the FBI. Again if you wantto follow the musings of the WT Moonie theories - be my guest.
Chalabi knew what Shaw was up to and tried to prevent him from getting into Iraq to obtain the info that Shaw eventually used to hang Chalabli out to dry. Shaw is a hero, not a villain.
See post #33 for more detail.
--Boot Hill
This lie is being promoted by the Libertarian Party and the L.A. Times (and now you), who have an obvious political agenda to destroy Bush. Shaw is not being investigated by the FBI, rather Shaw is the man who uncovered and disclosed Chalabi's fraud and is DOD's point man in working with the FBI to prosecute this case.
--Boot Hill
Paranoid ranting. Let me know how you came to your conclusion that the all mighty (chuckle) LP somehow has the power to launch FBI investigations on individuals.
