"The report said Pentagon is deciding whether or not to release images. I hope they do!"

How about the way things happen sometimes in court. One side gets new evidence, and right before presenting it they hand it over to the other side.

Bush calls Kerry, says he is sending over classified DoD aerial photos of convoys on the roads, time stamped.

Bush then verbally states in his speeches: "Sen. Kerry and I have recently seen photos of the explosives in question, being moved away several days BEFORE our troops entered that area."

"I'm now sure Sen. Kerry would now agree with me, that Saddam did possess vast amounts of very deadly weapons. And as Sen. Kerry said many times, he needed to be stopped."

"So when the UN failed in its mission, we moved to take necessary steps to safeguard America. We believe much of the missing explosives are now in Syria, and we have plans to have it destroyed, whether Syria or the UN like it or not."

"Sen. Kerry will say anything to get elected, even if it is not the truth."

"I will do whatever is necessary to fight and defeat the enemies of the US, and to protect Americans."

Iraqi military officers destroyed or hid chemical, biological and nuclear weapons goods in the weeks before the war, the nation's top satellite spy director said yesterday.

Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, head of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, said vehicle traffic photographed by U.S. spy satellites indicated that material and documents related to the arms programs were shipped to Syria.

But, they have their midnight "WEDDINGS" in those plans, that's all. LOL

Great picture!

Bush should say... I don't know what was moved by the trucks, but I am sure Saddam would have moved the WMDs first.

I remember this being reported around the time of the beginning of the war.

According to the news this morning, the UN even disagrees with itself on how much stuff there was to begin with, and Russia says that the IAEA is full of crap.

Either way, things look bad for sKerry

"antisocialista said, 'Mil guy on Hewwit's show said they only carry 5Ton. Thats a lot of truckin.'

jriemer said, 'At 5t a load, that works out to 76 trips to move the stuff. They would catch the attention of the radar systems on the TR-2 and JSTARS once a pattern develops because they all share the same point of origin and there's not too many paths to chose from'."link

Static satellite photos would indicate the presence of trucks at Al Qa Qaa; however the TR-2 and JSTARs systems can dynamically track the trucks from AQQ to their destination.

>>>The DoD is considering releasing the photographs.

Why wasn't this done like YESTERDAY?<<<

Maybe we might want to pull a 60 Minutes on them. . .like release the photos on Sunday, thereby slapping the truth upside sKerry's head and giving him no chance to do anything but cry.

(I'd like to believe that. . . but more than likely it is because of classification issues and the military's reluctance to become involved in politics. . .even though THEY are being used by sKerry.)

NOW COME OUT AND CALL KERRY AN ANTI MILITARY COWARDLY COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZER THAT WILL RAISE TAXES ON SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS AND INSTITUTE THE DRAFT.

Maybe he will win DC... Maybe.

Any bets on Syria giving up the WMD on November 3?

Kerry says he's a hot-shot prosecutor. What is the first rule of laywering? Never ask a question to which you don't know the answer.

He's transcended this eternal verity by changing his story whenever caught in a contradiction while depending on the MSM to cover for him.

rove's timing is impeccable.

let kerry run with a lie as long as possible, let the facts out just long enough before the election to let the info disseminate

(the MSM can supress news, but only for so long before it bubbles over via the WWW and they *HAVE* to report it or lose whatever little credibility they have left and appear as rather-esque laughing stocks)

About the only way it could get worse for Kerry is if the NSA leaks a tape of Kerry calling Saddam on opening night and saying, "get out of that bunker right now, the Air Force is dropping a candygram on you!"

"See - they knew they were there and did nothing to protect them from falling into the hands of terrorists."

Actually that's the first thing I thought about. If we had pictures showing trucks removing what we knew to be explosives right before the war, why wouldn't we stop it? I mean knowing that these weapons would be used against our troops why wouldn't we bomb the hell out of the trucks?
