Has ANYONE found "embedded reporter" story on NBC anywhere???

[LynnTheDem]

This NBC embedded reporter who was with the SECOND group of US troops to get to Al Qaqqaa (101st AB) who says, altho he & the troops had no explosives training whatsoever & US military says they wouldn't know what the stuff was or wasn't without training, there was no HE when he was there.

The FIRST group of troops on April 4, 2003, 3rd ID, however, say there was indeed explosives there, and their April 5, 2003 report proves it.

But drudge & CNN etc are now trying to say the HE were gone before the invasion coz this one embedded NBC reporter thinks he was the first to Al Qaqaa and HE didn't see any explosives.

Yet NOWHERE on NBC can I find any such story from this NBC embedded reporter.

Anyone find it?

[nofurylike]

10. is true, still nothing. twisted. ??? still looking. n/t

[nofurylike]

11. look at all the sources:

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=missing+explosives%2Bnbc%2Bembedded

wash times

all from drudge saying "nbc said"

from GOPUSA:
>NBC News on Monday aired a report from Jim Miklaszewski who said that on 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 Qaqaa 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."

McClellan also emphasized that the weapons, although reported to the IAEA recently, have been missing for some time.

3. It's a video. There is no article. Here's the link to the video.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6323933

Scroll down, it was Jim Jim Miklaszewski reports.
It was from the NBC News last night.

[LynnTheDem]

5. AHHHHH! Thanks!

So how come nothing on NBC's site? Hmmmm...

Anyhoo, Jim wasn't with teh FIRST group of troops, and we take his word, a reporter with no training whatsoever in NBC or explosives...or the word of the Pentagon, the FIRST US military group (3rd ID) and Dr. David Kay, weapons expert, and bush's own hand-picked ISG leader who says they WERE still intact and sealed and weren't looted until end of April/May-ish.

Oh hmmm tough one.

NOT.

[nofurylike]

15. thank you. n/t

[jezebel]

7. I'm watching Early Today the NBC Show, it's coming on now. Wonder how they

will report it.

[nofurylike]

27. me too. no mention at all, so far? conspicuous in its absence, eh? n/t

[nofurylike]

9. this report very interesting, but no mention of the supposed embedded.

[gavodotcom]

12. Dana Lewis, who is now with Fox?!?!

Sorry, I haven't been following along, but Dana Lewis was the NBC guy who was with the 101st.

Dana's retarded. He reported that they found WMD in Iraq as well.

[nofurylike]

17. thank you. looking with that info. n/t

[LynnTheDem]

13. Explosives were looted after Iraq invasion; Boston Globe

http://www.boston.com/news/world/articles/2004/10/26/explosives_were_looted_after_iraq_invasion?pg=full

Sure debunks Drudge's bullshite. From nofurylike's post above.

[nofurylike]

16. and says was just hours ago, that globe report.

looks like is coming down to making Jim Miklaszewski produce all his films, etc.


still searching, though.

18. WaPo reports Bush campaign "pushing" reporters to find "embedded reporter"

Pushed, shoved, blackmailed or threatened?

"The Bush campaign pushed reporters to look into an NBC News report that the network had been embedded with troops who searched the site three weeks into the war but never found the powerful explosives that are now missing, suggesting they were already gone."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A60413-2004Oct25.html

So they want reporters to fabricate a story that backs up their attempted cover-up. But I'm betting they know their "embedded reporter" does not exist and they have no facts backing any such story.

I know these lying bastards too well. This is their way of getting the spin started. Drudge and CNN have complied. Who's next.

We can't let them get away with this.

[nofurylike]

21. thank you for adding that.

and you're so right. we can't let them get away with this.

it's all so obvious.

and check out the globe piece linked above.

point is, no reliable source is saying what the drudge n cohorts claim.

45. Reporter does exist only isn't taking GOP talking points

This is what is being covered up

MSN NBC is sticking to the truth and the reporter isn't taking the GOP talking points on it.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6323933 /

Reporter Lai Ling Jew, who was embedded with the Army’s 101st Airborne, Second Brigade, said Tuesday on MSNBC TV that the news team stayed at the Al-Qaqaa base for about 24 hours.

‘No move to secure the weapons’
“There wasn’t a search,” she said. “The mission that the brigade had was to get to Baghdad. That was more of a pit stop there for us. And, you know, the searching, I mean certainly some of the soldiers headed off on their own, looked through the bunkers just to look at the vast amount of ordnance lying around.

“But as far as we could tell, there was no move to secure the weapons, nothing to keep looters away.”

[NightOwwl]

46. Reporter standing up to BushCo and sticking up for the truth?

Sweet!

NBC News’ “Operation Iraqi Freedom” documents the Iraq war

Suddenly, the war was under way. NBC News correspondent David Bloom and his team were moving north with the 3rd Infantry Division. Correspondents Chip Reid and Kerry Sanders moved out with the Marines. Dana Lewis was reporting in from the 101st Airborne and Brian Williams kept us apprised of missile attacks launched at Kuwait. Fred Francis was covering the Kurds in northern Iraq, and George Lewis was tracking the on-again, off-again role of the Turks right next door. In Washington, Jim Miklaszewski, Andrea Mitchell, Pete Williams, David Gregory, and Campbell Brown were on the air from the Departments of Defense, State, and Justice, along with the White House. Other correspondents and production teams were assigned to military bases around the nation to cover the war on the home front.

23. the April 4, 2003 AP story quoted a Col. from the 3 ID on what

they found at al Qa Qaa. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,83252,00.html The NBC reporter was with the 101st Airborne on the 10th, according to the report. That would Dana Lewis as previously noted. And David Bloom was with the 3 ID.

Didn't realize NBC had a book/DVD out. Wonder what's on there...

[nofurylike]

34. so, on april 4, they did find the boxes of explosives that the IAEA

mentioned.

i think that's IT.

(**edit due to fatigue :) )

gotta run fast. thanks all!



peace all!

[nofurylike]

22. now * calling it political opportunism by Kerry!

can't get to story.
any ny sun subscriber here?

madman!
well, no surprise, that.

[nofurylike]

24. so, IF they really knew, why didn't report it to the I.A.E.A.?

off for now.

thank you for this thread, LynnTheDem.


to be continued...



peace, all!

[LynnTheDem]

26. Ok David Bloom was w 3rd ID, they DID find the explosives & Bloom is dead

He died in Iraq. The 3rd ID were the FIRST group to reach Al Qaqaa and their report says they DID find the explosives.

Dana the idiot was with the 101st AB; they were the SECOND group that got to Al Qaqaa and he says he didn't see any explosives...but then he wouldn't know if he did or not anyways, and neither would the 101st AB.

And this Jim person that Drudge & CNN refer to as having been with the 101st AB was NOT EVEN IN IRAQ; he was in Washington.

Good grief.

[nofurylike]

28. omg, i remember when David Bloom was killed. (edit, my mistake)

(**edite: i have him crossed with another awful iraq memory. too burnt out now. have to stop more tomorrow.)

can you tell me where that piece can be found?



thank you, LynnTheDem.

was searching all this when i saw your post. is so important.

30. I watched NBC News last night

and saw this report. They didn't say the munitions had disappeared or had already been looted they just said they didn't find them at that time. It wasn't even a major part of the story.

[nofurylike]

33. wow. thank you for that info. n/t

[Kathryn7]

42. How do we know if these little vials of power are the same

as the 350 tons that are missing? Thousands of little vials are not quite the same as hundreds of tons of explosives.

[nofurylike]

43. AIEA had described the boxes in reports.

this fact just supports that at least those explosives were still there when the 3rd ID first went there on april 4.

"Col. John Peabody, engineer brigade commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said troops found thousands of 2-by-5-inch boxes, each containing three vials of white powder."
