Shep Smith on FOX is going to talk about how the media is spinning the "NO SMOKING GUN" comment. Nothing else is getting the reporting but that one line...

We know they have it, pretty much the same way we called the Ukraine out on the missle hitting that passenger plane a while back. We 'see' everything now, It's just that we don't want to reveal our 'sources' someone should tell this to Saddam so he has a chance to shoot himself in the head tonight and end this thing.

At this point, either Bush steps forward and plays the bad cop and mobilizes and invades or Iraq joins the nuclear club. The tower of babel eminating from the UN is worse than useless.

U.N. weapons inspectors said Thursday they have not found any "smoking guns" but have discovered that Iraq violated U.N. sanctions by importing parts for its missile program.

So it's basically a soon-to-be smoking gun. Just as bad, in my opinion. The UN shouldn't give them a break just because they're not finished preparing to annihilate Israel (or Kuwait, or the U.S.).

I have been watching my news ticker all day and that Smoking Gun headline had been rolling and rolling. This one popped up real quickly and I saw it. Hopefully Fox will pick this up because I doubt anyone else will.

Good. Seeing Blix' actual comment shows how dishonest the reporting has been. It has been deliberately distorted.

The "anti-war" element is mobilizing. Next weekend they plan to begin creating trouble in public in numbers as large as they can acheieve.

ABC maybe playing for some of its long lost audience, maybe? Would be cool if they played off the script for once.

Saddam's favorite lady doctor, Doctor Germ, is missing. And her husband was just put in charge of the best military groups.

Exactly! I was listening on and off -- and heard Dick Durbin shooting off his mouth -- and was shocked to hear Blix's actual remarks. Nothing close to what the anchors were saying!

I was just going to say...that all I've heard all morning on talk radio news breaks is how there has been 'no smoking gun' found.

And people make fun of those of us who keep a roll of reynold's wrap conveniently located near the TV...now I gotta get a roll to store in my glove compartment.

Good grief.

Best Regards,

Blix made the point of saying that ...

1)Saddam is hiding scientists

2)They violated the sanctions ...by making missilies.

<3>They have a banned explosive.

4)Iraq has the ingredients to make a chemical weapon..

Yes. I heard the "no smoking gun" comment before seeing the entire statement and it was deliberately reported to be taken exactly oppositie as Blix used it.
