We don't know what happened' 'We don't have the facts' This is the excuse?
This is Bush's excuse for allowing the looting of weapons from the Iraq ammo dump? It's the republican's talking point now. They're all using it.

"A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief," Bush told supporters at an airport rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania.

"Nobody knows what happened." said republican Senator Shelby on LKL.

"We don't know the truth of this." echoes Safire.

Why didn't they know?

1. Well, the Freeptards are having a meltdown from the eyewitness story.

2. Outrageous and Incredible
The IAEA warned us what was there, then WE FAIL TO INVENTORY THE SITE to determine if it needs to be secured, to determine what needs to be done with what explosives were there.

For Bush, there is NO EXCUSE. He and his totally incompetant adminstration must be removed from power.

But you already knew that.

3. Its already excuse #4 or 5

And thats just in three days..

Thats the fault of the new Iraq government, we tuurned it over to them in June.

We didnt know anything about it until 10 days ago.

They took it before we got there.

We dont know what is going on, we are just now checking on it.

.. I forget the rest..
But its just like Bush's reason for the whole attack on Iraq, every new day will bring a new 'excuse' and as each is proven to be a blatant Bush lie.. the next day they will have a new lie.

5. Ignorance is no excuse
Try telling that to a traffic violation judge. "But, your Honor, I didn't KNOW the speed limit was 15!"
