You asked: "Now I'm confused, first we show satellite photos of "Russian trucks" moving the stuff before the war. Then ABC shows a tape dated 18 Apr, and now we say we destroyed it 13 April?"

Answer: What is THE FOG OF WAR?

Question: Who is Kerry?
Answer: THE FROG OF WAR

[Howlin]

Well, well.

[TeddyCon]

Did ya catch what Imus said about their hookin' up?

[FourtySeven]

No matter what happens next week, I am swearing off news for a month. Call me an ostrich, but this anxiety has begun to get to me.

Ditto.

[charleston1]

"How quick will the MSM try to sweep this under the rug?"

Nope, this will require a full blown street cleaner with a huge vacuum. Kerry is up to it--he sucks big time.

[boxerblues]

How are they going to back peddle on 5 days worth of lies and attacking the US Military?


He cant, every soldier serving right now is po'd

Tomorrow's Front Page Headline:

The Shiite Has Hit The Fan! Kerry Al QaQaa's His Boxers!

[LegalEagle61]

I could have sworn they said that RDX etc...was part of the stuff the soldiers removed. I guess we will find out very soon.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!

[HereComesTheGOP]

Honestly, I bet by making NYT, and Kerry talk about all this is going to be Rove's way of proving WMD taken out by russia.....
Bush couldn't JUST bring it up out of no where or people would have questioned it...Kerry referring to it and even making an ad, gave Bush the LEAD that he needed for Monday's announcement of KGB helping pull WMD 's out of Iraq!

[SheLion]

Hey, I'm a woman and don't know alot about military stuff, but I will take a guess, is 3rd ID, third infantry division? (don't laugh, I am just guessing!)

Yes. The 3rd ID and the 4th ID. Infantry Division. I'm not sure how many soldiers are in a Division, but it's a lot.

[Salvation]

Thank you, Donald Rumsfeld!

Now --sKerry-- go stick your head in the sand.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

bump

[JudyinCanada]

They blew up all those explosives? Senator Kerry will be pointing out how irresponsible this president is when it comes to the environment. Worst record, blah, blah, blah.

[berkeleybeej]

"All right... WTF is going on.... first no one knows what happened to the explosives and it's Bush's fault... then there is proof they weren't there (NBC), then proof they don't know because they weren't looking (NBC-2), then they were looking (FOX, Pentagon), then the Russians moved them (Gertz), then video of trucks before the war (Pentagon), then video of drums of possible explosives (some affiliate), and now the Pentagon says they destroyed them. " My thoughts exactly. I feel like my head is about to explode.

And what about the story that the tonnage of the missing explosives was only 3, not 380?????

Gotta go get some duct tape.

[rocklobster11]

Briefing supposed to be at 12:00 Eastern (10 minutes).

When I heard the Fox news break, I was just about to call the DOD and ask these questions:

• Was there any explosives besides RDX and HMX at Al QaQaa?
• Was any of it in poweder form similar to that seen on April 18?
• When the Site inspectors showed up, were there any Bunkers still locked with IAEA seals?
• If so, was anything in those bunkers?
• If not, can anyone explain when the bunker with the locked IAEA seal was opened (after April 18)?
• How much expolsives were ultimately cataloged and destroyed at Al QaQaa?
• Is there any records of what was cataloged?

Hopefully, this briefing will answer that. They are having the soldier who handled the process do the briefing. Hopefully he is good at handling a hostile press.

[madison10]

If Kerry had shown up for the intelligence briefings, maybe he would have known this (explosives destoyed) already. What a dufus!

[RightthinkinAmerican]

I am swearing off TV permanently. I haven't missed it in the last 3 months, I can do without it.

[Illinois Rep]

Yes Rudy's remarks are taken out of context.

Kerry blames Bush for not securing the weapons.

Rudy says, "Hey...was Bush in Iraq standing guard of these explosives? NO the military was."

Rudy pointing out the truth...Kerry LYING ...he really means the military screwed up..but it's George Bush's military and ultimately Bush who is at fault...

Normal people know exactly what Kerry is doing here.
