Are we about to catch the Bush admin in another big lie?? (Explosives)
Drudge reporting that a soldier will give a briefing within the hour explaining that military was ordered to remove explosives. Pentagon has what it claims to be photos.

My question is this: OK, so where are the explosives? How come it took 48 hrs. know what happened (and we still don't know for sure).
Are these photos any more reliable than the ones Powell showed the world at the UN? To where were the explosives removed and are they still there? If we required Saddam to account to the pooound and round for these weapons, how come the US can't account for them?

1. If these are the satelite photos, I am not impressed.
I could FORGE more convincing documentation than what I saw in those satelite photos. They made the Ice Cream Trucks of Mass Destruction shots Powell used at the UN look like the Zapruder film.

3. I've heard for days now how they don't know and jumping to conclusions
and it's debatable and it's Kerry's fault he's bringing up their incompetence and now....we knew all along except we didn't really know we gave orders to move them and we've been joking with Americans about really losing them? DAMN, that's one goddamn funny administration, they love to scare people for fun, which is better? Either way, this one is Bush's final straw that broke Cheney's hump.

6. Even better, what's up with the video showing the explosives being there

7. No way out of this one...
Either way, they are fucked.

If they try to pawn off this 'soldier' story, then it proves they are incompetent, because for a solid week, they couldn't tell us what the hell happened and made up all kinds of shit to cover it. They didn't know WHO took it and now they know that WE took it? Yeah, OK. It's like saying Rhode Island went missing last week and we just found out about it today. What the fuck were you doing then? Watching soap operas?

If otherwise, which is likely, then they still let someone walk off with 380 tons of weaponry.

8. Disinformation- there were other explosives troops found, blew up
Since they cannot account for these particular sealed and marked explosives that IAEA specifically documented and that are shown as broken into and left unprotected in the imbedded reporters video, they are going to obscure the issue by talking about other explosives that troops actually did find and destroy.

10. bremer didn't know anything about this whole deal
per an interview with hume. He suggested that the Iraqis took them before the war started. I can't imagine what they are going to say now, if anything.

12. Jesus H. Christ!
This is the Jon Lovitz Administration! "Ahhh...yeah, those explosives were taken by...ahhhhh...Russsians! Yeah! That's the ticket.

No? Ummmm, they were gone when we got there. Yeah.

No? Ahhh....some guy took them for a Fourth of July fireworks display in Tikrit. Yeah, patriotism. That's the ticket."

Please vote these assclowns out of office, people. Cripes!
