they love making up news.
"his mistakes and misjudgements, have hurt our troops, have put our troops at greater risk, have driven away our allies, and taken away our focus on Osama Bin Laden and the REAL war on terror, and that's just ABROAD!" Kerry, in Orlando 11:35 AM

39. What about the video of the IAEA seals (April 18th)? Under Order? |
|
How will this soldier explain that?
And was that soldier ordered to remove those explosives?
Did he steal them and put his buddies in jeopardy?

5. So did HE sneak them out of the air vents? |
|
How did he get passed the seals? Or is he saying he was there AFTER the US military found the explosives, broke the seals, then left them to the looters?

7. Repubs/Pentagon already speculated it would take 70 or 80 trucks!!!!!!!!! |
|
They have already claimed to know nothing about how the stuff disappeared, speculating it was gone before we invaded. Flip-Flop

that's probably about half of the explosives. Where are the rest? And why couldn't they account for it immediately?
I call bullshit.

As each excuse gets shot down, a new one arises to take its place.
And yet the "liberal media" never calls them on the deception. Give me a break!

Now some soldier is supposedly going to be at a PC about moving them. Our soldier?
What happened to the Russians?

How about the Pentagon photos?

"...yeah... that's it. And... and the Russians removed the rest. Yeah... except the French removed some, too. Yeah... that's it."

ON EDIT: Well, this would be funny if a) it weren't so fucking pathetic; b) people weren't dying behind it.

21. Their whole claim has revolved around the explosives... |
|
...not being there when the troops invaded.
Now that they have been busted lying, this is the only way they can go -- "OK, they were there, but we removed them". It's absolutely hillarious.

41. Ok...so some "soldier" moved the explosives... |
|
Where are they now? The IAEA would probably be able to tell you if these are the same explosives or not - so let them have a look. That is, if you can tell us where they currently are...

Someone decided they could re-sell this material back to the U.S.....

The Bushies never hesitate to point the finger at the soldiers--abu ghraib a fine example. When are the soldiers families going to see the real truth?

42. how come it took five days for this guy to remember? |
|
need to check out status and connections of the soldier. They probably figure they can keep the connections buried until Wednesday. If it was a military organized effort the CO would have spoken up immediately. The more mud they sling the more I wonder how big this is. For example I remember even Fox showing weapons stockpiles on the trip to Baghdad. How many of those sites were looted? Why is the press not delving further beyond this one site? It has already been proven that the Pentagon lied about this site.

and moving on to explanation number 10.
My God, how many explanations are they going to throw around about this????? The fact that they are scrambling around throwing whatever will stick to explain this scandal is a scandal in and of itself.

40. Then what happened to them? |
|
This is ludicrious and makes them look even more desperate.
Let's see...
First it was Saddam. Then it was the Russians. Then they dusted off those satallite photos. Now they remember, it was a soldier who moved it.
Okay, so now where are they? Did they get lost in Baghdad?

until the actual event happens, then a poster can post an article with a link.
GO to other DU forums to speculate on this event until it happens.
