"380 Tons of Explosive Story" - SEE "DRUDGE"

maybe the big kerry balloon is bursting on this bad boy

[J. J.]

We don't know what was in those trucks, but if the imaging is released, Kerry's intellectual dishonesty reigns supreme.

[SirMuxALot]

The other shoe has dropped.

Bret Baier (FNC Pentagon correspondent) reports that DoD officials are "reviewing satellite imagery which reveals considerable truck activity near Al Qaqaa in the days leading up to the Iraq war."  Released photos may be forthcoming, pending de-classification.

It's the New York Times' move now.

I expect that bastion of honesty, fairness, and integrity to place this information on A1, above the fold, in tomorrow morning's paper.

[shankbear]

Mux, please don't hold your breath for that to be printed as that wormy fishwrap of a paper does not have the journalistic integrity to ever admit it is wrong.

I can dispatch the paramedics NOW if you are so disposed to NOT BREATHE.

[SirMuxALot]

On a more serious note...

I'd like to add that I love this story because I get to say "Al Qaqaa" with a straight face.

same consistency as the s**tstorm that could be coming down on the KERRYNEWYORKTIMESCBS organizations.

So who do you trust? FauxNews? The liar in chief? Give me a break.

[J. J.]

I trust NBC, where the story was run.  It wasn't on their website yet.  When it appears, I'll post the link.

fern, go back to your garden.  I don't trust ANY news organization.  Especially those like cBS who MAKE the news.  Or The NY Timebomb.

[J. J.]

This possibily was also raised on CNN.

The New York Times has been caught again making things up!

The liberal media is truly desperate and will float the most absurd stories in hopes of defeating Bush.

In fact, they are commiting suicide.

[J. J.]

As promised, here is the link to the story and some highlights:

"The infantry commander whose troops first captured the Iraqi weapons depot where 377 tons of explosives disappeared said Wednesday it is “very highly improbable” that someone could have trucked out so much material once U.S. forces arrived in the area."

***********************************************

"The colonel [the commander of the brigade] himself did not directly offer that conclusion.

"But the Pentagon said a statement Wednesday, 'The movement of 377 tons of heavy ordnance would have required dozens of heavy trucks and equipment moving along the same roadways as U.S. combat divisions occupied continually for weeks prior to and subsequent to the 3rd I.D.’s arrival at the facility.'”

It's looking less and less like they were there.

Kerry isn't criticising the guys on the ground just the Commander-in-Chief.

Dave

Haha. Like the president deals with specific things like this.

[DarthKosh]

Kerry isn't criticising the guys on the ground just the Commander-in-Chief.

Dave

That's not true.  He's calling them lazy for not securing the explosives.  Which it now looks like they had been moved before the war.   It's another thing that has blown up in his face.

[CARLHAYDEN]

Get real!

If you think that the New York Times story is accurate, you probably also believe in the CBS National Guard papers story.

And, yes, the guys on the ground in Iraq are very angry with Kerry, as they rightly consider it a criticism of them.

[Democratic Hawk]

As if I give two hoots about the CBS National Guard papers story. The media makes very little, if any, impression of my opinion.

Surely, the buck stops somewhere!

NBC retracted after they realized that they and Drudge were wrong.

I don't know if they specifically said they retracted, but if you can't find the article, there's a reason for that.

When asked about Russia, Rusmfeld was unable to back that story up. Whoops.

[J. J.]

But not there was nothing there to guard.

Where are the explosives?
