If it's in the times, it's going to hurt Bush. No way they'd do a front page story to hurt Kerry.

This is a hit piece on Bush. And we thought tomorrow's big story was going to be hurting Kerry.

"If it's in the times, it's going to hurt Bush. No way they'd do a front page story to hurt Kerry."

If it is from the Talking Points Memo, the author quotes the following from Chris Nelson (and yes, "Al Qa Qaa" is what is found on the website).

"Despite pressure from DOD to keep it quiet, the IAEA and the Iraqi Interim Government this month officially reported that 350-tons of dual-use, very high explosives were looted from a previously secure site in the early days of the US occupation in 2003.

Administration officials privately admit this material is likely a primary source of the lethal car bomb attacks which cause so many US and Iraqi casualties. In the first presidential candidate debate, on foreign policy, Democratic nominee John Kerry charged that captured munitions and weapons were being turned against Coalition Forces, with US troops suffering 90% of the casualties. But the specifics of the losses from the Al Qa Qaa bunker and building complex, only now being reported, were apparently unknown outside of DOD and the US occupation authorities.

The Bush Administration barred the IAEA from any participation in the Iraq invasion and occupation process, and blocked IAEA requests to help in the search for WMD and other dangerous materials.

It's definitely a Bush hit piece, "put on the front page by the editor" of the New York Times.

Crunch time for the MSM.

But if there are nuclear weapons in Iraq, doesn't they pretty much confirm WMDs were there all along?

I'm not getting it......
