But...but...but.... The Pentagon is not supposed to comment on our Political lies (so say the Rats)
The only way for Kerry to spin himself out of this, is to call Army Col. David Perkins a liar. Knowing Kerry though...I wouldn't be surprised.
Paul Bremmer was interviewed, Fox I believe, stating low probability such explosive cches were present when our troops came to the particular area.
He also stated how much explosives WERE found by troops.
Paul Bremer estimated that Saddam had a million tons of weapons.
Only 400,000 tons have been destroyed so far.
But hey!!!...In the radical left playbook....anything is possible!....
But I thought al-Q'erry's extensive military background made him MORE qualified than our President on ALL THINGS MILITARY?
Must be the Intelligence Committee experience. Yeah, that's the ticket....
</sarcasm> </duh>
Look, the 480 tons is not real but it doesn't matter if it is real or unreal, all that matters is the perception of reality.
So far the Rats are winning the perception game, not on the net but in living rooms. Fault Bush for slow response.
The state polls are not encouraging since the NYT article. Why was there no response team in place?
Americans want George Bush to be right and true and to keep him. But when the whole appüartus is asleep at the crunch, they will be led astray.
Every Mosque, village, school yard,......etc. is a potential ammo-dump,.....this is 'peaceful' post 1991 Iraq.
......their 'guards militia' was EVERYWHERE.
Remember,.....this is/was a entire country steeped in armed DICTATORSHIP.
There are MORE ammo dumps in Iraq than WE LEFT in VIETNAM.
I generally agree. Every R talking head or representative on TV and radio needs to hammer home the idea that the facts are now coming out that totally dispute the NYT article and for Kerry to state with certainty shows his rush to judgement mentality -- and this is a quality we don't want in our leadership. And don't forget, we're just not voting about changing Presidents, were voting about changing the entire government apparatus.
"Look, the 480 tons is not real but it doesn't matter if it is real or unreal, all that matters is the perception of reality. "
This really is the issue, isn't it? And I have been screaming for more than a year that the real enemy is not the Dems, it's the press. If the press were fair and balanced, the Reps would kill the Dems on issues. Bush is reluctant to attack the press, but I would have been doing it all along... the NYT, CBS and others certainly have given him the ammo this year.
Sould be the headline in every major paper in the US but the story gets swept away. The liberal Pravda continues its hypnosis of America.
Imagine this man in charge of anything other than the hamster population.
Here you come as usual with doom and gloom.
The majority of the battleground states polls favor President Bush, including Florida, Ohio, Iowa, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and now Minnesota. He is very close in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
This is so very sad news for you. The President can afford to lose Ohio and New Hampshire if he wins Wisconsin and Iowa, or Wisconsin and New Mexico, or Minnesota and Iowa, or Minnesota and New Mexico.
This thing has not worked for the Dems and it hasn't even hit the backlash yet.
Today is the first day the public will hear about there possibly being 3 tons not 380. It's the first day they will hear about the Russian trucks hauling it all away. It will be driven home TODAY NO LESS that there was loads of activity caught on satellite before the war.
This has only begun to fester for Kerry. By the time it's done he will be forced to pull the commercial. Not because he's got a conscience, but because it's hurting him in the polls.
Oh yes, I would not doubt Saddams' munitions stockpile exceeded many million tons. Bremer gave you a conservative estimate.
Saddam gave many hints before the war started that he would disperse his munitions throughout Iraq.
And some people wonder why it seems the terrorists in Iraq have an inexhaustible supply to attack our troops with. Let alone how easy it is to hide WMDs.
Good article.
