"Karl Rove, the president's chief political adviser, also contended that The Times had chosen to run the article at the end of the campaign, though he argued that the explosives probably disappeared about 18 months ago."
Did Karl Rove know they disappeared 18 months ago and sat on it? Did the NYT know 18 months ago and sat on it until now?
But does he really think the evil NYT, or anybody else, would sit on such explosive info for 18 months had the NYT known, in Apr 04, about its disappearance?
And here's the spin doctor accusing Kerry of being "unfair":
"The Republicans and the White House mounted a similarly vociferous counterattack, charging Mr. Kerry with seizing on the loss of 380 tons of high explosives and never mentioning what Mr. McClellan called "more than 243,000 tons of munitions" that have been destroyed since the invasion. "Coalition forces have cleared and reviewed a total of 10,033 caches of munitions; another 163,000 tons of munitions have been secured and are on line to be destroyed.""
ok, ok, so yet-more faulty intelligence from shrub's intelligence apparatus did not inform the US forces about the huge, numerous caches of finished arms and munitions all over Iraq. unending waves of incompetence
So the Army has gone about with extreme industry and thoroughness (and no doubt considerable danger) to dispose of what they have discovered, but the Army totally ignored and lost 380 tons of WHAT WAS KNOWN TO EXIST and EXACTLY WHERE IT was, thanks to the UN/IAEA inspectors.
This really sounds like shrub's team totally ignored this contribution of the weapons inspectors on the WMD materiel contents+location, since that would have be in conflict with shrub's agenda of ridiculing and discrediting the weapons inspectors as ineffective.
shrub, repug, all your base are belong to us
It was ing reported 18 months ago you idiot!
Since when is Matt Drudge a reliable source? Didn't he once report that Kerry was having a extramatrital affair only to drop the accusation a couple days later? Anything that Drudge reports you can bet comes straight from Karl Rove.
The original article stated that Paul Bremer knew a long time ago that these weapons were missing and so did Condolezza Rice, but neither told the President. That is negligence of the highest degree.
When he quoted NBC News you dumb . Also Drudge was not the only one quoted. Given the crap you think is worthy of being taken seriously in here you should be the last poster questioning the legitimacy of anyone else's sources.Since when is Matt Drudge a reliable source?
NBC News: Miklaszewski: “April 10, 2003, only three weeks into the war, NBC News was embedded with troops from the Army's 101st Airborne as they temporarily take over the Al Qakaa weapons installation south of Baghdad. But these troops never found the nearly 380 tons of some of the most powerful conventional explosives, called HMX and RDX, which is now missing. The U.S. troops did find large stockpiles of more conventional weapons, but no HMX or RDX, so powerful less than a pound brought down Pan Am 103 in 1988, and can be used to trigger a nuclear weapon. In a letter this month, the Iraqi interim government told the International Atomic Energy Agency the high explosives were lost to theft and looting due to lack of security. Critics claim there were simply not enough U.S. troops to guard hundreds of weapons stockpiles, weapons now being used by insurgents and terrorists to wage a guerrilla war in Iraq.” (NBC’s “Nightly News,” 10/25/04)
Talking about lack of credibility, How much VBookie money do you have left? Oh, that's right none. So your always wrong.Given the crap you think is worthy of being taken seriously in here you should be the last poster questioning the legitimacy of anyone else's sources
Only been forced to retract one story.
Didn't CBS claim to have real do ents?
Like when he links to stories that are not favorable to the President?Anything that Drudge reports you can bet comes straight from Karl Rove.
Gee, I knew they were missing a long time ago as well.The original article stated that Paul Bremer knew a long time ago that these weapons were missing and so did Condolezza Rice, but neither told the President. That is negligence of the highest degree.
This is just a regurgitated story from shortly after the invasion...
Now that's a mortal wound, no doubt. Shouldn't you be tucking your children into bed and regaling them with stories about all the handouts you think John Kerry is going to give you?
So, how come you still have all yours, Dan? If you put your money where your mouth is, you'd be at $0.00, too.
Who the are you kidding. This is regular pattern for Drudge. I don't even go to his site anymore because I know its all right-wing spin.Only been forced to retract one story.
So is NBC a right-wing news source?
I am waiting to clear up personal bet details w/ Guido, but I will be 100% in soon.So, how come you still have all yours, Dan? If you put your money where your mouth is, you'd be at $0.00, too.
Don't lie. Did you pay Guido $500 to suck your ?
Yes. They are owned by G.E.. The biggest arms supplier in the world.So is NBC a right-wing news source?
Hey, that's between Guido and myself, but suffice to say that he is a Catholic Priest.Don't lie. Did you pay Guido $500 to suck your ?
Of course, it's a conspiracy. I didn't realize Katie Couric was a right-wing hack. I suppose you learn something new every day.
An NBCNEWS crew embedded with troops moved in to secure the Al-Qaqaa weapons facility on April 10, 2003, one day after the liberation of Iraq.
According to NBCNEWS, the HMX and RDX explosives were already missing when the American troops arrived.
That's from the report.
I remember when they reported it. I was pretty big news then...
And, name one story, besides Drudge's retraction of his Sidney Blumenthal story of a couple years ago, that he's been forced to retract...
Fact is, most of his site is just links to other sources. But, when he scoops, he's usually right. I think the Kerry intern story was "unfounded" and not ever proven one way or the other...since, she decided to get "uncooperative" and pulled her website and all...
I suppose Rove directed the Today Show to give air time to Kitty Kelley.
Air time? , they made her co-host for 3 freakin' days...
I'm also sure that's why the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth have been all over the morning and prime time news shows on NBC, as well.
Not true Dan. There are those of us who have put their vBookie money where are mouths are. It doesn't mean we are wrong. The money is bet so it shows $0. Grow a pair and do the same. Whats all this about Guido? Ain't got anything to do with backing your mouth. Put up or STFU!
Bull , you're just a chicken who talks big but is even afraid to put his virtual money where his virtual mouth is.
We're dealing with a "real" loser here Yoni.
In more ways than three...
NBC BLOWS A HOLE IN THE KERRY ATTACK ABOUT THE EXPLOSIVES
Jim Miklaszewski of NBC News pretty much dismantled the New York Times attack on behalf of Kerry today.
NBC News: Miklaszewski: “April 10, 2003, only three weeks into the war, NBC News was embedded with troops from the Army's 101st Airborne as they temporarily take over the Al Qakaa weapons installation south of Baghdad. But these troops never found the nearly 380 tons of some of the most powerful conventional explosives, called HMX and RDX, which is now missing. The U.S. troops did find large stockpiles of more conventional weapons, but no HMX or RDX, so powerful less than a pound brought down Pan Am 103 in 1988, and can be used to trigger a nuclear weapon. In a letter this month, the Iraqi interim government told the International Atomic Energy Agency the high explosives were lost to theft and looting due to lack of security. Critics claim there were simply not enough U.S. troops to guard hundreds of weapons stockpiles, weapons now being used by insurgents and terrorists to wage a guerrilla war in Iraq.” (NBC’s “Nightly News,” 10/25/04)
So you see, folks, when the 101st Airborne and NBC News arrived at Al Qakaa, there wasn’t any HMX or RDX there....
Well now....don't that knock Kerry's in the dirt!
Nba , I mean Dan...
If NBC is so biased, why were their anchors openly hostile to Bush's spokespeople during the debates?
If they were so biased to the right, why is it Chris Mathews had an exclusive with Hanoi John tonight, while Kerry has been dodging Fox News for a good month now?
Face it. The liberal NYT jumped all over this, along with John and John, and NBC showed video tonight that proves their wrong. The 350 tons may as well have blown up in their face, because they have video proof. None of that stupid ass anonymous source in west Texas, some random homeless bum who registered as Mary Poppins stuff, they aired the video and said "here's the empty bunkers, the NYT is wrong."
The NYTimes got served, John Kerry got served, John Edwards got served, and now you're getting served (as usual) here tonight. Have a nice day.
