Democratic underground PAY ATTENTION
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.”

1. Of course, there was no OIL at Al Qaqaa...
why would the 101st be ordered to secure that location?

Do you know a friend of mine in the UK knew about this a FULL WEEK before America did? What is happening to our country???

2. So did Dan Bartlett,
*'s Communications Director! He basically told the AP yesterday, "oh yeah. . . old news."

Sheesh.
