WTF is this nonsense?

Shrub is saying the explosives were moved before the troops got there??


Anyone ever heard of satellite reconnisance? Like, they knew what the site was!

Unbelievable that the media is spinning this for bush.

1. Nope. They should've noticed a convoy of 40 trucks if
they were monitoring troop movements with satellites, which I assume they were doing. I would also hope that they knew all the IAEA sites, where they were and what was there. But that might be too much to ask from the Office of Faith Based Military Campaigns.

It's like they think this is a game of D&D or Risk or Age of Empires.

I flipped over to CNN (I know don't say it), and they are spinning this angle HARD.


Total INCOMPETENCE!

3. Tim Russert is an Asshole- Doesnt know the basic timeline
Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 02:48 PM by priapis
he's been all over the radio on Imus, on Hannity etc etc whoring it up plugging his show, rather then keeping up with the story.

he said in response to a twisted spin by hannity: "we dont know when they disappeared, but we do know it was sometime between january and may"

WRONG----- UN inspectors verified the sealed munitions in March.

approx 2 weeks b4 the invasion.

this is a "BIG detail" for "BIG Russ jr" not to know. media whore.

4. The IAEA had them secured ..............
we knew where they were and how much of them there were. Then Bush started his dirty little war FOR NO REASON, BASED ON LIES and then the explosives were left unguarded. In the end, it doesn't matter. The fact remains that we had no business attacking Iraq, so Bush made those explosives available to terrorists. They had satellite recon as well, they knew what what going on, but they didn't do anything to stop it. They were to busy getting to Baghdad where the people were going to shower them with flowers. They probably figured it was a moot point if someone was stealing them, that there would be no resistance from Iraqi's after "freedom was on the march".
Bush can spin this any way he wants, it's still his responsibility and his fault.
