The world has really changed. Americans have a better chance of getting the truth from The Moscow Times instead of The New York Times.

There's a part of me that's starting to feel that Bush knows what happened to WMD in Iraq, but he wants the American people to have faith in him on Nov 2, WMD or not.

[GOPologist]

Our liberal daily rag STILL prints the negative part of the Iraq explosives. I don't even know why I'm stupid enough to subscribe to it.

"There's a part of me that's starting to feel that Bush knows what happened to WMD in Iraq, but he wants the American people to have faith in him on Nov 2, WMD or not."



Is it possible that the president has decided that behind the scenes negotians is the best policy with the Russians?

RDX and HMX are cheap and plentiful. The cost for the amt of materials in question would be about $1M, probably much cheaper in countries with artificial cost structures. To mount a special operation to move the materials across the borders would not be cost effective - to destroy them by blowing them up would be much cheaper and faster. So it probably just got stolen and ended on black market.

It must be difficult to run a campaign when you can't use all of the CLASSIFIED information to your advantage.

That's an UNDERSTATEMENT! ;)

This is brilliant, sad, but brilliant.

Is this similar to how the Russians behaved when confronted with accusations during the Cold War? I was too young and not as tuned into politics.

Could one say the Cold War isn't over, it had just thawed a bit?

[HereComesTheGOP]

WOW, its on http://www.iraq.net now...just unFNbelievable!

"The compounds, HMX and RDX, are key components in plastic explosives, which insurgents in Iraq have used in bomb attacks." Is there any evidence that the terrorists have used plastic explosives, much less HMX or RDX? I can't recall any.

Rumsfeld discounts report of Russian assistance

"Well, I guess the first thing to say about it is that first reports are almost always wrong," Rumsfeld said. "People who use hair-trigger judgment to come to conclusions about things that are fast-moving frequently make mistakes that are awkward and embarrassing."

The chechens use a lot of this stuff.

You mean telling lies that are so over the top they take your breath away? Yes. Apparently, it wasn't just the communism that caused it. The Russian rulers have this chutzpah regarding their approach to the rest of the world that I'm told goes back centuries. A little paranoia and a lot of nerve.

I heard a piece on NPR this morning where a reporter claims to have seen video shot by a St. Paul, MN network affiliate when the 101st was in alqaqa that shows barrels and crates clearly marked high explosives.

Anyone familiar with this story? It sounds like what the MSM would consider a smoking gun to hammer nonstop now through Tuesday.

[Genoa]

Yes, CNN Radio News was hammering away on this too.
True or not, it's better to use Hannity's Defense: 400 tons versus 400,000 is one-tenth of a percent, and I'll stick with Bush, thanks. Iraq was a dangerous place with Saddam, and much less dangerous now.
