Bush
is Hiding Things from us about the Iraq War! - Claims Kerry - Posted October 26th,
2004
"Mr. President, what else are you being silent about?
What else are you keeping from the American people?"
Democrat's
October Surprise? has been Debunked - It turns out that the missing explosives,
HMX or RDX were long gone by the time U.S. forces got there. New York Times once
again forgets to check out the story before running it. OOPS! Eager are they to
help John Kerry! Why should the actual facts get in the way?

Attacks Regarding Missing Explosives Countered by NBC
Speaking
aboard Air Force One en route to Colorado, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan
fielded questions from reporters regarding the disappearance of 380 tons of explosives
from a military complex south of Baghdad. The Democrats were quick to seize upon
the story, but claims by Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry were
refuted later on Monday by NBC News. >>

BLOWS A HOLE IN THE KERRY ATTACK ABOUT THE EXPLOSIVES [10/25 09:09 PM]
"Jim
Miklaszewski of NBC News pretty much dismantled the New York Times attack on behalf
of Kerry today. NBC News: Miklaszewski: “April 10, 2003, only three weeks
into the war, NBC News was embedded with troops from the Army's 101st Airborne
as they temporarily take over the Al Qakaa weapons installation south of Baghdad.
But these troops never found the nearly 380 tons of some of the most powerful
conventional explosives, called HMX and RDX, which is now missing."

"The U.S. troops
did find large stockpiles of more conventional weapons, but no HMX or RDX,
so powerful less than a pound brought down Pan Am 103 in 1988, and can be used
to trigger a nuclear weapon. In a letter this month, the Iraqi interim government
told the International Atomic Energy Agency the high explosives were lost to theft
and looting due to lack of security. Critics claim there were simply not enough
U.S. troops to guard hundreds of weapons stockpiles, weapons now being used by
insurgents and terrorists to wage a guerrilla war in Iraq.” (NBC’s “Nightly News,”
10/25/04)
"If Jill Abramson, managing editor of the New
York Times, had a shred of concern over her paper's reputation for getting the
facts right never mind objectivity or fairness, she would be running the correction
- or at least this blatantly contradictory information - in the giant headline
font and above-the-fold location that today's story got. But I guess the interest
in echoing the sentiments of Maureen Dowd is more important than getting it right
at the Old Gray Lady." - Jim Geraghty
