Bwahahahhahaha - love politicians...when can we give these two some boxing gloves?

Reacting to the IAEA announcement on Monday, Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry said the "incredible incompetence of this president and this administration has put our troops at risk and put this country at greater risk than we ought to be."

In response, the Bush campaign accused Kerry of using the IAEA announcement to attack the president.

"John Kerry has no vision for fighting and winning the war on terror, so he is basing his attack on the headlines he wakes up to each day," said Bush-Cheney campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt.

"If John Kerry wants to spend the next eight days trying to explain positions again, we welcome that debate. John Kerry can't lead the nation to victory in a war he doesn't believe in."

Looks like this was also already published by Fluff - at least a BBC version of it...

Was there anything there after the IKEA people left in 2002? Maybe Sadamm had the place cleared out and buried in the desert just like all of those Russian MIGs they found last year.

 

[B_A_MTBIKER]

Maybe Bush spearheaded the vanishing explosives incident to help his campaign.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Wow. what another misleading piece of crap piece of news and thread to follow. I just saw that this crap went missing in April of 2003, before US troops even got into the area and that the buildings they were housed in were partially destroyed becuase of bombing. I hate the news.

 

[Changleen]

This isn't exactly the first story of this type, Burly. And the fact remains the US removed effective governance from the country opening up the way for this to happen.

Its good to know what your idea of effective governance is. I should have assumed as much after your jew comments.

 

[Changleen]

PLEASE stick to the point for once.

 

[BurlyShirley]

**** you know what else isnt accounted for? Tons of chemical weapons. Id say thats easily the biggest concern. Maybe we should place sanctions on the insurgents.

 

[Changleen]

Are these the Chemical weapons that apparantly went over the border to Syria?

 

[BurlyShirley]

Are these the Chemical weapons that apparantly went over the border to Syria?

Prolly. Or to Osama's personal stockpile somewhere. Coming to a train station near you.

Ive been thinking...Why dont we just drop some leaflets on Fallujah with pictures of the Hiroshima Blast on them and the words "Get the **** out by (whatever date) because we are gunna Nuke this mutha"
Then we set up roadblocks with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and interview and search EVERYONE who leaves. Then we just level the muther****ing city. We dont actually have to use a nuke, but seriously, just smash the place with a big mutha.

Well, there's the risk of seriously pissing off the Muslim world even more than you have already. There are a few important Mosques there for a start, and once everyone has left, there would be no need to nuke it, right?

And secondly, because it's using a nuclear weapon on a civilian target?

 

[Changleen]

Closer to you, I should think. Or nowhere. That shi1t's 10+ years old. It does have a 'use by' date.

Have you been sniffing cat sh!t to get high or something?

First, I just damn said we didnt have to actually use a nuke. How much more clear can I make that?

And second, DUH!, if everyone leaves, then we'll have caught the insurgents with their weapons at our checkpoints. If they hold out, they get destroyed, or at least their weapons do if some manage to get out by acting like a regular. Damn, I didnt think Id need to spell that out for you, but obviously I was mistaken.

 

[Changleen]

No, I use Cannabis for that.

Yes, I did miss your we don't have to use a nuke, buy you ended with 'with a big mutha' - anyway, you're still talking about destroying a religiously significant city wholesale. Not a great idea if you don't want to have to repeat the exercise on every city in the middle east. Actually you'd probably think that was a good idea, eh?

And yes, If you could get everyone to leave, that would be great. You'd need a fvckbucket full of troops to completely encirlce the city though. Otherwise the 'bad guys' would just slope off into the desert. This would require futher commitment of American troops though. Are you willing to get drafted?

Yeah, I said "hundreds of thousands" of troops. Some could be the Iraqi trainees, or we could try some other stuff like dig a big ass moat/mote/mowte (**** I dunno how to spell that) around the city and fill it with oill and set it on fire with only one Exit so that they all gotta come out one way, that way it doesnt require so many troops. Well, not dig a "moat" actually but find some other way to seal off the city. Like just give troops shoot to kill orders at the other exits.

But a few mosques aint gonna matter in the grand scheme. I say destroy that ****ing hellhole.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Oh, and am I willing to get drafted?

I already served in the military, so I dont care if there is a draft or not. If I were to get recalled, they'd have to pay me an a$$load plus my job in the military was cake, and that's what Id go back to.

 

[Changleen]

Oh this is good:

From The New York Times:

Yet even as Mr. Bush pressed his case, his aides tried to explain why American forces had ignored a series of warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency about the vulnerability of the huge stockpile of high explosives, which was first reported on Monday by CBS and The New York Times.

In several sessions with reporters, the White House spokesman, Scott McClellan, alternately insisted that Mr. Bush "wants to make sure that we get to the bottom of this" and tried to distance the president from knowledge of the issue, saying Mr. Bush was informed of the disappearance only within the last 10 days. White House officials said they could not explain why warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency in May 2003 about the vulnerability of the stockpile to looting never resulted in action. At one point, Mr. McClellan pointed out that "there were a number of priorities at the end of Operation Iraqi Freedom."

Yeah, secure the Oil refineries, secure the roads to the oil refineries, secure the oil, secure the staff, get the oil pumping, sort out the Haliburton contracts, abusing all those Iraqi prisoners...
Anyway...

"It's an outrageous mistake, and one I'm afraid we will pay for for a long period of time," Dr. Albright said on CNN. Mr. Lockhart said, "This president was warned."

Damn those Scandanavians and their generic furniture.

60 MINS PLANNED BUSH MISSING EXPLOSIVES STORY FOR ELECTION EVE

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.

Jeff Fager, executive producer of the Sunday edition of 60 MINUTES, said in a statement that "our plan was to run the story on October 31."

Elizabeth Jensen at the LOS ANGELES TIMES details on Tuesday how CBS NEWS and 60 MINUTES lost the story [which repackaged previously reported information on a large cache of explosives missing in Iraq, first published and broadcast in 2003].

The story instead debuted in the NYT. The paper slugged the story about missing explosives from April 2003 as "exclusive."

An NBCNEWS crew embedded with troops moved in to secure the Al-Qaqaa weapons facility on April 10, 2003, one day after the liberation of Iraq.

According to NBCNEWS, the explosives were already missing when the American troops arrived.

It is not clear who exactly shopped an election eve repackaging of the missing explosives story.

The LA TIMES claims: The source on the story first went to 60 MINUTES but also expressed interest in working with the NY TIMES... "The tip was received last Wednesday."

CBSNEWS' plan to unleash the story just 24 hours before election day had one senior Bush official outraged.

"Darn, I wanted to see the forged documents to show how this was somehow covered up," the Bush source, who asked not to be named, mocked, recalling last months CBS airing of fraudulent Bush national guard letters.

Sounds like typical media trying to sway their audience.
