Kerry and his minions won't change their tune at all. They will stick to their "story". Liberals chant and it doesn't matter if it's not true. Their followers will abide the chanting and sing along.

Appears the word "confusing" has taken the place of "nuanced" or "complex".

Heh!

Right. MY point about the Film Crew video is that it was supposedly from Apr. 18th (days after the Major left the area) and it shows a lot of what is possibly plastic explosive there under IAEA seal. That's why we need to debunk that film. Everybody seem to agree that the only stuff under IAEA seal was the Plastic Explosive. We need to dig into the MN reporters and debunk them.

The fox talking head also just quoted 300,000 tons of explosives at this area instead of 380 tons... he was a little off.

I think Dirita did a fantastic job of pointing out that this 380 tons is 1/1000th of the total munitions we have destroyed in Iraq.

The pretenses are gone. This is a direct attack on our military in an effort to get to the President. The lefty Democrats and liberal media hate the military and have no problem with this, but the American public will feel very differently. The U.S. military had their orders, plans and carried out destruction of explosives/munitions at Al Qaqa. Do the Dems expect that President Bush should be using a forklift to load up trucks outside the Al Qaqa weapons dumps? I'm sure Kerry would claim that that is what he would have done if he were president.

If he pulls this story from his speech and web-site how will he be hammering it?

kerry and msm hate our troops. this news conf proves that.

I think the most important thing to come out of this is that OUR TROOPS are NOT the bungling idiots John Kerry has been saying they are this week!!!

Best part is closing:

"We have no scenario. What I would think you'd take away is what I've tried to describe. Which is there's probably more we don't know... about that 377 tons than what we know other than we've destroyed over 400,000 tons of ammo in that country. We had people moving about freely in that facility prior to the arrival of US forces... armed people, fedayeed Saddam, special Republican Guard... they attacked our people from inside that facility... and as we try and better understand what happened to 1/1000TH (one-one THOUSANDTH) of the ammo that we've already identified or destroyed... we'll provide those facts. And I think that's about all we've got time for. Thank you."

"... this was nothing more than a smear campaign against the President and that John Kerry rushed to judgment mainly because he wanted to hurt the President."

Not bad for a 35-year-old!

Thanks for the ping, have to catch up. Interesting that the hysterical reporters from earlier in the week can't bother to appear today, isn't it?

I don't foresee them questioning Saddam Hussein with the same contempt they are using toward this Major Pierson.

It appears that Kerry has ticked off the military - big time!

Short story: people are still going to believe what they want to believe on this story. I think the media will report than press conference as not proving anything.

Why doesn't somebody ask the UN why the weapons were not destroyed properly in 1992 when first discovered? Why did the IAEA-20 report indicate the storage was inconvienent for monitoring, had security concerns, and recommended moving from a six bunker to a two bunker facility at a different location? Why was that not done during IAEA-22, as indicated it would be in the IAEA-20 report? Oh yeah.... old news.... The point is the UN should have taken care of this and they did not. Instead, they blamed us. Once again, our soldiers have to clean up the mess caused by the UN, even while they are blaming us. It is time to pull out of the UN.
