Wacka Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 And breaking on Drudge (no link yet): News of missing explosives in Iraq -- first reported in April 2003 -- was being resurrected for a 60 MINUTES election eve broadcast designed to knock the Bush administration into a crises mode... CBSNEWS PLANNED BUSH MISSING EXPLOSIVES STORY FOR ELECTION EVE Why doesn't the FCC shut them down right now? CBS is the PR department of the DNC.. At least NBC had the balls to tell the truth.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Are you calling NBC liars as well. They have had the most slanted view of GWB when compared to the other two network media sources. They simply are telling the truth this time, and you try to make drudge out to be some liar. Hmm, you are stuck with this one dear........and so is kerry, but after all that is what you get for running yur campiagn on the daily news cycle. 86138[/snapback] I have to hand it to you, Rich, you may have just uncovered the most amazing coincidence of all-time. NBC has "the most slanted view of GWB when compared to the other two networks" (read: because they don't promote your fair and balanced view), but the ONE time that they do present your fair and balanced view, "they are simply telling the truth this time." That is remarkable! What are the chances that the one time they did present your view was the one time they are telling the truth? I am just amazed. Well, there you go, the truth is stranger than fiction once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich in Ohio Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 It doesn't take much more than a couple of cans of hairspray to take down an airplane. This is just the latest episode of media sensationalism from the people who gave you Jessica Lynch. I expect them to come back in a month and say "whoops, we've had control of it the whole time. It was in Private Snuffy's 5 ton. We just forgot where it was parked." Or something similiar. Welcome to our government. Still introducing the left hand to the right hand on a daily basis. Add in our very competent media and this is what you get... 86093[/snapback] Actually last I checked, an airplane can be taken down with a box cutter.

But then again thats what happens when there is no punishment. Look, if your child picked up their plate of food at the dinner table and threw it across the room, there would be some level of punishment. Then you could pretty much be confident that there would be no more plate throwing. However, CBS has faced NO penalty whatsoever for doing what they did, and they were planning on doing it again one day before the elcetion. Of course they know that nothing would be done until after johnny boy won, and regardless of who coordinated what with lockhart....the damage and the effect that they were looking for would be done.

Rich in Ohio Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 StoryGood old Drudge. If you read this story or any other from a real press source, you will see that the material was guarded UNTIL we invaded. And then, yup, those guarding bailed the hell out, which is was Rummy and the gang advised people to do. The US apparently had to plan to secure the site. Nice try though. To this day apparently it is STILL not guarded and reports are that it's still being looted, although I can't imagine what it still left there. Really, really nice try. 85671[/snapback] um, just some food for thought dear....NBC evening news ran this as the lead stroy on last nights newscast. Essentially busting the NYT's balls, and forcing CBS to spend the rest of this week looking for another substitute false story to run on the sunday before elcetion day. By the way...it was the Drudge report who got it right first...AGAIN. where do you go from here with your rhetoric? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to leave because of the US invasion. "Within weeks of the invasion, international weapons inspectors told Washington that the explosives depot was in danger and that terrorists could help themselves "to the greatest explosives bonanza in history." The US didnt secure the site while the UN was gone as they were warned, and the explosives are gone. That to me looks like negligence. What part of that will you attempt to refute? The NBC story doesnt absolve the US of responsibility nor does it prove what Kerry said wrong whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next, please explain to me how we were supposed to guard this site between the time that the UN Inspectors left, and the time that we got there to the site one day after bagdad fell??????

NBC killed it. yesterday it was the end of GWB's campiagn...today it is OLD news........where are the appologies from the kerry campiagn??? did they not call the president to task on this point...and now they find out that it is total crap and they have NOTHING to say. I challenge you to go find this story today...it is dead, dead, dead. And of course CBS now has to find another fact based story to run in prime time on the sunday before the election.

That is 100% our fault and negligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 terrorists could help themselves "to the greatest explosives bonanza in history." Yet, iraq posed no threat of terrorism, and did not have weapons of mass destruction (whatever 380 tons of highly dangerous explosives is...), and sadam did not need to be taken out of power. It was the wrong war at the wrong time. We should have let sadam have those 380 tons of weapons at his disposal. You guys are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, that is in todays JP. Third, it mentions the CBS story and the embedded reporter who didn't see anything, but they were looking for WMD's and moved quickly through the sight. By the time they came back the place had been looted. Fourth, a Pentagon source is where that last bit came from. Fifth, why the hell am I even responding to you, I know better!!!
