AMEN!!!! He is a typical representative of our military guys and deserves every good word that could possibly be said! He will definitely need our support after today,as he put himself in the line of fire with the worst of the worst--the media!!! They have become the enemy!

[sheikdetailfeather]

Dick Cheney is going to be on Rush today. I bet they talk about this.

Analysts said that Iraq/Saddam had around 1 million tons of munitions.

1,000,000 tons

This one site represented some 380 tons -- a drop in the bucket of the total munitions.

The media are wanting account of 380 mosquitoes in a nest of 1,000,000.

===

There was one pile of munitions the military found. I remember one of the 'guards' say they were destroying/exploding the pile in segments, 24 hours per day. And even at that constant rate it was going to take YEARS to destroy it all. The media (except the embeds and those who bothered to go to Iraq) have no concept of the amount of munitions Saddam had.

Nor art thou amusing!

I have to run out again...only came home when I heard this on the radio.

Will read that link later; if it's ABC, I'm assuming it's spin :-)

If you watch the video and pictures posted here from the TV Station, the soldier from the 101st airborne said it was detonation cords.

[Reagan Man]

FACT! The election is Tuesday. You can ignore this issue all you want, but that won't make it go away.

Drip, drip, drip

As is ALWAYS the case with John Kerry,,,,John Kerry will

believe (and side with) the AEIA first over the Pentagon and US military,,,,

vote for and side with the pacifist/appreasement lobby over President Reagan's efforts to win the Cold War,,,,

voting against the US coalition in the first Gulf War,,,,

there seems to be a trend here dating back to the early 70's!!!

[LegalEagle61]

I can safely say that you have never worked on a campaign. This report crushes Kerry's final offensive. It's over.


It is and the proof is that they removed that stuff ftom their website, they know their number is up!

4 MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ApesForEvolution]

Thanks much...I was j/k.

[TheForceOfOne]

OMG! BINGO!

[jveritas]

Get back to DU troll.

[cyncooper]

The Major did not see an IAEA seals, either, so that would go to the "that particular material was removed from the facility before we got there" theory.

The Pentagon spokesman did reiterate there was much "unusual activity" involving trucks before the war began.

[GOPRaleigh]

Thank you - that's the sign.

[Doctor Freeze]

It's desperation time for the Kerry Campaign.. look out this weekend.. scorched earth.

[Sleeping Freeper]

The Pentagon press conference is about an hour or so old now. Only on FoxNews and Drudge websites???? The Dems/MSM will either not mention it or are working on a negative spin. This is incredible.

[bwteim]

I can safely say that no one on this earth knows the outcome until it's done. Not even you.

"...Hey, I don't like the MSM any more than the next guy, but some of their skepticism here is well founded at the moment..."

You're missing the larger points: firstly, it shows that the leadership DID have a plan to destroy these weapons' caches; secondly it shows that these weapons may have already been GONE when we moved into al qaqaa; and finally, it shows that we were already disposing of these weapons, as early as the 2nd week of April. These are MAJOR points (no pun intended).

[Arrowhead1952]

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

Just catching back up..... I just heard ABC news report this story......

[howiem98]

Kerry has been a PROFESSIONAL PACIFIST for 30 years-- not qualified to second guess our military on the ground.
