CNN ^ | 4/15/2003

Posted on 04/15/2003 2:54:09 PM PDT by ArcLight

The buried labs U.S. troops found last week were not the mobile chemical and biological weapons labs one U.S. Army general suspected, CNN's Ryan Chilcote reported Tuesday.

Consider the source.

Myler works better. I haven't had a single evil thought since I started wearing the converted balloon.

Ok, more then two or three. But that's down from 100 or so a day during the Clinton admin.

I think they are only discrediting the finds that turn out to be false. They are stopping false rumors.

The teams assigned to hunt for WMD don't have embeds...That's why we aren't hearing stories from the special ops guys who were to take suspected WMD facilities - nor from the guys who are exploring the Baghdad underground.

We only hear about finds that the army/marines stumble onto and an embed catches wind of it...And when those finds turn out false, they deny it right away.

They haven't denied all of the finds. There were rockets that were rumored to have tested positive with chemical warheads that have not been denied or confirmed. There are rumors of weapons grade plutonium - neither denied nor confirmed. There were supposedly chemicals found in N. Iraq - neither denied nor confirmed. Nobody ever reported on what the marines foun digging up that court yard, or what they've been seeing in the Baghdad underground, West Iraq, etc.

I have to think that Bush is biding his time and evidence will be presented once the left have slipped their heads into the noose -- yet again.

Think Syria.

re-posting my crystal ball vision from a prior thread...

I can see it now -- a few weeks from now Daschle or Kerry, or some other DNC clown will show up on Meet the Press:

======BEGIN PREDICTION=====


Russert: Today on Meet the Press, we have Senator Tom Daschle, and later, Nat'l Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice.

Russert: Senator Daschle, what is your reaction to the liberation of Iraq?

Daschle: Tim, I'm absolutely thrilled for the Iraqi people. To see the joy in their eyes was something I'll never forget. That's why I'm proud of my vote in support of the military action.

However, I am deeply troubled that the cornerstone of the President's rationale for a war that has taken over 100 American lives has crumbled.

President Bush adamantly claimed that Iraq posessed WMD's and it appears we aren't going to find any. While I am happy for the children of Iraq, I am deeply saddened for the children of our military who gave their lives falsely believing they were defending this country from WMD's.

Russert: Would you have voted differently on the use of force resolution?

Daschle: That's a hypothetical, Tim. All I could go on were the words of the Republican Administration, and if we were lied to, that is their responsibility to bear. Again, I am deeply dismayed.

Russert: Thank you, Senator. Next up, Adviser Rice.

(commercial)

Russert: Welcome, Dr. Rice.

Rice: Thanks Tim. You might be interested to know that we'll be breaking news later today about a detailed find of chemical weapons stashes in Iraq. Also, we're just announcing a full presentation on Monday from what we've learned from the captured nuclear scientists in Iraq. What we've found is both astonishing and frightening. I think Senator Daschle will be relieved to know that his concerns about the truthfulness of our administration have been resolved, and our soldier's families will know that they did not die in vain, but very likely saved thousands of lives.

(Daschle, off-screen) What the $^^#@*!!!! Oh, S#^!^. God-D&^@^! It!! You sand-bagged me you piece of sh^#$#^ mother-F*^$!@!@#!!!!!

If anyone believes Iraq does not contain WMD after the obvious and laughable lies told by Baghdad Bob, then I've got some beachfront property to sell them. The sad thing about Bob's lies is that the regime was accustomed to lying to the people and the people knowing no better, so sad. Now the Iraqis can learn to govern themselves in freedom. We will find the WMD, probably once we dig up half of Iraq or when we go into Syria...

The report is from The World's Most Trusted Source
My thoughts exactly... (not that I believed them before they confessed...)

I'd like to blame CNN too, but there was a high ranking military guy (Freakley, can't remember his rank, but up there) who came on the air in an interview with CNN correspondent and stated they had 11 dual use (biological and chemical) mobile labs, 20x20 feet, and 1000 pounds of documents.

Ya' know... It's almost scary how much your Daschle comments sounded like the real thing. I could literally hear that the man saying the script just like you wrote.

I was yelling at Russert too! Just like on Sunday AM.

LOL

RUSSIA CHINA AND FRANCE were working together to overthrow the USA and Britain's hegemony via this proxy war state, IRAQ...

WE will not tip our hat publicly about how much they did that was illegal against us... as we continue to roll up the remains of the old empire of evil... and her evil collaborators...

It won't take one or five years. It may take one to five decades. Communistic/Fascist/Socialist Tyrannies die hard... harder and hardest...
