bullshit, you lie just like yo boy Kerry, and the New York Slime:
Missing Explosives Story Missing Facts
The Washington Dispatch
The New York Times hyped an alarming “October Surprise” story on Monday. It seems the Old Gray Lady believed it had a breaking “news story” about 380 tons of “powerful explosives used to destroy airplanes, demolish buildings, make missile warheads and trigger nuclear weapons” that had disappeared in Iraq. The materials were allegedly stolen from a facility called Al-Qaqaa, an area roughly 30 miles south of Baghdad. The implication was that the United States military dropped the ball as they should have been guarding the ammo.
There is incompetence alright, and it’s in the Kerry campaign and the Old Media.
This story is in dispute and has been presented in a completely biased manner. It is easy to argue that this story was highlighted to assist John Kerry. It was at the center of his accusatory campaign rallies all day on Monday. But the missing elements of the story are astonishing. And again, just as with the fraudulent document story Dan Rather tries to heave at the president, the story is falling apart in record time.
By Monday night it was learned that NBC News had imbedded reporters with the 101st Airborne as they took over the facility on April 10, 2003. The conclusion of NBC, “the troops never found the nearly 380 tons of some of the most powerful conventional explosives, called HMX and RDX, which is now missing.” The Pentagon makes the same claim.
The New York Times story failed to mention that. John Kerry has yet to mention that. In fact, they are still using the story on Tuesday afternoon as if the NBC revelation never happened.
