This guy on the press conference about missing explosives...

[chicagojoe]

...is spinning out of control. He's singing and dancing.

[prodigal_green]

1. Like a Sufi dervish?

cool.

[JusticeForAll]

2. He is hardly doing singing and dancing

He is tripping, stumbling and stuttering...

and OH WHAT A TRIP he's taking!

:)

[eleny]

3. he almost looks like he's winging it

where's rummy???

[The empressof all]

4. I'm not a stupid person

But I don't understand a word he is saying. There are lots of words coming out though

[Atman]

5. Why the lo-level Flunky?

No Rummy, no generals...this guy is clearly dispensible. The top guys are allowing this shill to do their bidding so when THIS bullshit gets debunked, they can all be "distanced" from it.

[JHB]

20. Because they don't want their faces on the tape...

Because they don't want their faces on the tape when it's proven to be pure BS.

[chuckhoward]

6. C'mon people...

...I'm stuck in my office w/o a TV...give us some real description...

[chicagojoe]

9. Now there is an Army Maj telling us "what he saw".

[MidwestTransplant]

7. He said is doesn't explain all the explosives only some.

[Flubadubya]

8. Missing explosives represent only 1/1000th of all in country...

He's calling ammunitions "weapons", and says the country was "awash" in them. Blah, blah, blah... repeats 1/1000th. Oh, let us minimize this. These creeps are REALLY desperate. They've been caught with their britches down!! :grr::mad::puke:

[eleny]

10. now soldier is speaking

did he just say that he was told that there were 380 tons of "missing" munitions? i must live next to a fish cannery.

[Atman]

11. And now, lo-level Major Austin Pearson

NO ONE of consequence will defend this story. They're using their pawns.

[leftchick]

13. exactly and...

is it me or is this guy making NO sense?!?

[chicagojoe]

25. NO sense whatsoever.

[trof]

14. Maj. Pearson: "hobba hobba hobba hobba"

Doing a great Gleason/Kramden impression.

[Sara Beverley]

12. The soldier is even worse. Smoke screen for the Freepers benefit.

No one will be able to understand what this poor thing is saying. It's all designed to confuse the issue. Even the media will give up on this. You have to admit: they are good at what they do!

[Flubadubya]

15. The "Spinner" keeps breaking in and cutting the soldier off...

boy, they're not letting a thing go by without twisting the sh*t out of it!

[JusticeForAll]

16. God I love the map...

This so-called report is not meshing with prior filmed GPS-Located documentation!!!

He did not know of Al QaQaa? Then what is he doing at this press conference?

Add more shit to the pile, Pentagon!! This stinks to high HELL!

[MidwestTransplant]

17. He said they only destroyed stuff out in the open.

[JusticeForAll]

18. Go Lawrence!!

Explain it better for us.

Tell us how you want us to believe it.

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!!!

[Atman]

19. It took them FOUR DAYS to concoct this bullshit story?

They should have asked my kids...they make up more convincing stories on the fly when I catch them sneaking in late at night!

[leftchick]

21. omg dirita doing a pretty good rummy imitation....

PULEASEEEE... :puke:

[leftchick]

22. Trying desperately to say No one saw HMX...

the Major did not see the video?!? yeah right!

[Oilwellian]

23. The Major just blew it

He said he never saw an IAEA seal. Guess he didn't destroy the explosives in question. :D

[leftchick]

26. why did they even bring this poor guy out?

his pants must be pretty wet by now.

[leftchick]

24. who s the pudgey guy asking questions?

and taking all the time ? Is he a faux plant?

[Misunderestimator]

27. Here's a summary:

One One-thousandth, blah, blah, we destroyed a gazillion tons, 1/1000th...1/1000th...1/1000th...1/1000th...1/1000th... We don't know... 1/1000th... 1/1000th... 1/1000th... 1/1000th... We don't know more than we do know... 1/1000th...1/1000th...1/1000th...1/1000th... We don't know...We don't know...We don't know...We don't know...We don't know...

Did you hear me yet? ONE ONE-THOUSANDTH


(As if it would be ok to leave one nuclear bomb if you removed 999 of them... and that's ALL they have to say, unbelievable)

[stevietheman]

28. This will backfire

This will backfire. It was the Bush campaign that lost several campaign days to Kerry's attacks. All this news conference will do is muddy the issue and raise more questions. It's far from a slam-dunk against Kerry. If anything, most of the damage against Bush will remain.

On top of all that, also consider the answer to reporters that basically read "We don't know that the explosives we're talking about are the same as the explosives in question". Wow.

Rove miscalculated, again.
