Freeper exclusive: Weapons cache demolition causes many to be sick from exposure in Baghdad
private e-mails | 11/16/2006 | RaceBannon

Posted on 11/16/2006 4:54:12 PM PST by RaceBannon

I just received a private e-mail from someone I know from a Marine website who has family in Iraq. There has been a weapons cache explosion that caused many, hundreds of people to be exposed to some chemical that was present in the weapons.

Are you series? The last thing the MSM would want it to admit that there were/are WMD because then they would HAVE TO admit that Bush was right. They'd rather cut out their tongues than do that.

It would appear to me that if this is true that some of the cable news reporters would be affected as well.

You are assuming reporters were at the scene. They may not have been.

Sure, everything I said was nonsense. I think you proved my point about not listening to alternatives.

BTW - the caps lock on for certain points in your post is truly convincing... I never read an entire post - just what the poster wants me to read via accentuation.

Ooo, like Dan Rather? Well, that wouldn't be such a great loss, now would it?

I wish the drive by media were all over there for some kind of awards ceremony.

Does everyone here suddenly live in an alternate universe where they've forgotten everything they've learned about the media/MSM since 9/11 (well, since the President became... the President)?

MSM Mantra: IF IT HELPS BUSH, BURY IT: However you can. Period.

If anyone thinks that our men/women in uniform blew up a weapons cache & found WMD, and the MSM will be cutting each other down to break the story first... you have a terrible memory.

Still think we DIDN'T find any WMD in Iraq?

Here is ONE story about WMD found in Iraq... and it was ANTHRAX:

In Dec 2003, UNMOVIC found a bunch of bombs (exact number unknown, up to poss. 1400) filled with anthrax. The strain of anthrax was the same strain Iraq previously said it weaponized, but also destroyed. So, this story was released not only after the discovery of the bombs, but after their contents were tested, confirmed, and then compared to earlier strains of said contents. WMD.

TWO media outlets carried the story online: USATODAY and CANOE, Canada (Canoe's link no longer works).

Not many people heard about THAT one either.

Nothing on google news, yahoo news, clusty, or any of the networks.

Nothing on Haartez or Sky news.

Nothing on it on the jihadi sites that I check.

Nothing on "Islamic Iraq State" jihadi propaganda site and they're quick about putting up their drivel:
http://press-release.blogspot.com/

I'm suspicious since this supposedly occurred 36+ hours ago.
I don't like that a division is named.

IMO, RaceBannon and I respect you - this should be pulled.

You illustrate your own point by making assertions you don't want to back up ("you proved my point" - how?) and going uber-petty by focusing on my use of block caps -- instead of being a man and telling me where/how/why I am wrong. (Besides, you forgot to mention my equally clever use of italics...I feel insulted! sob...sniff...)

Then you admit you didn't even read the whole post! And this on top of completely ignoring my first post calling you out on this. And then you have the chutzpah to tell ME (uh-oh, the dread block caps!) that I'm the one who doesn't want to hear alternatives?

So I'll bite -- go ahead and EXPLAIN your alternative. MAKE THE CASE for it. Don't run for the exit from this debate Dem-style, stand up and make your case. (And try not to be so easily distracted by the BLOOOOOCK CAAAAAAAAAPPPPPS!!!!!!)

Again, so what? Add something constructive to how we now win this war.

I can believe keeping it quiet for a few hours, but an entire day?
