DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE: Officials Say Chances of Enemy Ordnance Move Nearly Nil

Ah, Kerry - - I can hear him now:

"Colonel Perkins lies in a manner reminiscent of
Jenjis Clinton!"

[cyncooper]

Hugh Hewitt had a Colonel on his show on Tuesday (wish I had a name to give you) who was on the ground and at this facility (where they saw no IAEA seals) and he said the country was so filled with this stuff that Iraqis will be finding caches of it for *one hundred years*.

[demlosers]

Perkins, now assigned to the Joint Staff, said it is "highly improbable" that the enemy was able to take the explosives out any time after U.S. forces arrived in the area. It would require "that the enemy sneaks a convoy of 10-ton trucks in and loads them up in the dark of night and infiltrates them in your convoy and moves out," he said. "That's kind of a stretch too far."

Make that a 38 truck convoy.

380 short tons / 10-ton rated tractors = 38 trailer loads.
Not to mention the crew and equipment to load them.

It would be hard to hide this activity with 2 US army divisions in the area.

You can take the story text (or a link) and forward to everyone on your email tree. It makes a difference.

We'll see this all over the news tonight for sure!

LOL!!! I'm just kidding of course! The MSM already has the fix in.

If anyone has the unfortunate situation of having to listen to "on the hour" news updates by See B.S. radio, you heard them spin this story a totally different way. I read the story before I went to lunch. While in the car, they referenced these comments, but put them in the context that there was no way the material was moved before the war. I thought to myself, "Wait a minute, didn't the quote say it was unlikely to have happened after our troops arrived there?"

Even the radio division of See B.S. seems to have gotten in on the Bush Bashing, not that they were ever a paragon of truth and virtue.

They must be offering bonuses or incentive plans for whoever can make the biggest distortion of the "news" that hurts Bush the most. JEEZ, their federal license to broadcast needs to be reevaluated.
