I'm afraid the damage has been done. The media WILL NOT REPORT THIS AT ALL.

That's what Kerry is praying for, I bet

Remember though, Kerry, in his stumps speechs said that these weapons and explosives were in the hands of TERRORISTS, so in essence he is calling our soldiers terrorists....hmmmm...sound familiar?

I have to say that I am TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED with Pentagon Spokesman Larry DiRita.

He is incoherent, disorganized, and keeps downplaying what the Major is saying

Did he say that because of the low quality of the ammunition, that they had continual "cooks-off" throughout the day until all the ammunition was destroyed in a fire?

Does that mean they burned it up or does that mean that the heat caused the ammunition to fail and incinerate?

Spokesman says troops were tasked and initial reports left an "unfortunate impression" that there was no order.

"Unfortunate response" to the initial report is wrong. We (the Pentagon) have demonstrated there was a plan that was well executed.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but the 7,000 tons destroyed was destroyed with the rest of the 250tons. It was basically used as detonation for the 250.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

FReeRegards in a FReeRepublic, OXEN!

"he'll probably/likely blame someone on his staff"

Of course if that doesn't work he can just call the Major a "baby killer" and move on.

Torie Clarke handling this briefing

Every time I think of her, I get a visual of her giving a briefing in her multi-colored sweater--and I get a strange urge for neopolitan ice cream. lol.

"i can hardly wait for kerry to claim that these were not weapons of mass destruction and that we had no business destroying them"

They aren't. Weapons of mass destruction are designed to kill hundreds of thousands, not hundreds. They are nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) weapons, not high explosive (HE), "assault" weapons, verbal, or Saddam himself, all of which I have heard described as weapons of mass destruction. That is why I flinch every time I hear the term WMD used...there's too much wiggle room for what constitutes a WMD. Instead, a more proper term would be NBC weapons, which is used by the military to describe nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
