We were watching trucks from AlQaQaa during the war too.

"... south of Objective RAIDERS on 28 March, JSTARS identified 10 Iraqi tankers heading south from Baghdad. The Latifiyah [AlQaQaaa] Phosgene
and solid propellant production facility was their suspected point of origin.
The contents of the tankers were unconfirmed, but intelligence believed that they might be filled with Phosgene, a dual-purpose industrial product and confirmed chemical weapon (choking agent).
The Air Force attacked and destroyed the tankers approximately 10 km north of Objective RAIDERS"

You're right.

JFK would be rolling in his grave to see what's happened to his party.

Let's not call them Leftists anymore. Leftists want freedom. These dogs are the worst type of Right Wingers. They clamp down the fist on free speech (Sinclair), they twist every fact, exaggerate every inaccuracy, have the media and the so-called intelligentsia on their side. They are in league with other fascists, like the gay front. This looks like Hitler to me. Maybe I'm going overboard?
Leftists want freedom? That's simply not true. Leftists want total government. There is a reason, however, that Hitler called himself "national socialist". John Ray argues in Hitler was a Socialist that you might call Hitler a leftist, however.

Is my mind playing tricks on me, but didn't the Bush administration show us a video of streams of trucks leaving Iraq just before we went to war?

I swear I remember seeing it, but I definitely think they need to be showing it again.

Kerry's mistake was NOT in slamming the President hard. It was in dissing the military. Did Kerry not watch Shock & Awe? Did he think our military was going to roll over and let him call THEM incompetent?

Hell hath NO fury like OUR MILITARY scorned.

If they do indeed release photos showing the munitions being moved before our troops got there then Kerry is toast. And it couldn't be happening at a better time. The general public will have all weekend to absorb this information.

Chances are Kerry will not apologize and henceforth he's gonna regret making that commercial.

Democrats are probably sending the New York Times hate-email.

Don't forget boycotting all thier advertisers, selling stock and threatening to cancel their subscriptions.

Guess the incompetent and stupid Bush didn't have the intelligence to bomb those trucks. Oh wait, we hadn't invaded yet. Oh well, never let inconvenient facts get in the way of a good political accusation.

amen to that Peach...
idiot quote from this morning:


NEWSMAKER QUOTE OF THE DAY


Boston Globe's Tom Oliphant: "This is a real critical day in the campaign. President Bush in my judgment has got to change the subject very fast today. You cannot have in the last week, I mean Iraq sort of came out of nowhere at the beginning of last weekend and unlike what I understand had been happening back in Washington where I wasn't in recent weeks, Iraq penetrated the local media markets of the country beginning Sunday morning in a big way. It didn't start with the missing explosives it started with that horrible massacre of the National Guard recruits because that picture was so dramatic it was just everywhere. But you had the massacre, you had the first report on the missing explosives, then you had the word that Iraq is going to cost another 75 billion dollars and probably it's going to have to absorb another 22 thousand American kids between now and the elections. The result has been to put Iraq front and center on the front page at the very moment the last people are making up their minds on the election. The President has got to change the subject probably today. This is media momentum you are seeing now and if it doesn't stop it's going to become political momentum."

On Hannity, the ex soldier commented that the boxes at the al kaka site were marked in German and French. Would it be too outrageous to assume that they went back to their suppliers?

There is your sign! So much for coalition of crooks (German, French, Russian) so "honorably" opposing the military action at UN (plus bribes) - there was still too much evidence in Iraq. Yep, Bush should have gone earlier (watch sKerry to pick it up).

"Too bad we didn't rush to war."

Exactly and that will be what Kerry will spew tomorrow - Bush didn't move fast enough. I still believe this has to do with Food For Oil and I for one will not be surprised to see the name AlBeradi on it.

Kerry's untenable position about whether or not there were WMD'S is emphasized by this story making him look more confused than ever. Kerry is a man who does not have control over himself or the issues and we do not need an out of control CIC.

I agree. Plus, the neww info. released on Drudge within the last 20 mins. make me think this terror tape is for real. That too may make a powerful difference.
