RWing Gasbag on CSPAN spreading disinformation on Al QaQaa Explosives

- Charlie Sykes (RWing talking head) is broadcasting live on CSPAN.

- Disregarding new information (and actual video) proving that explosives were at the munitions plant when troops arrived...Sykes joins the RWing Talking Head Gasbag brigade in spreading lies about the explosives.

- If you have the stomach to watch...pay close attention to how they distort or completely ignore the facts in order to confuse voters. Is it any wonder why Republicans have a hard time discerning truth from lies?

1. all of this behavior is going to provide fantastic tutorials for our side
in waging future campaigns. Once bush is out, I wonder if the neocons will lose their hold on the GOP?

3. They have so many 'explanations' as to where the explosives went...
...that it's difficult to keep track. Were they trucked to Syria? Russia? They just can't admit (for obvious reasons) that the explosives were LOOTED with the rest of Iraq after Bush* ordered the oil fields and ministry secured and NOTHING ELSE.

- The facts: it's been proven (by multiple sources) that the explosives were there and they were looted by unknown entities. Deduction: there's a good chance they're now being used against our troops.

2. Media once again is letting us down with pro-Bush disinformation
Fox as expected is totally pushing the story that there were virtually no explosives at all still left there when we invaded.

CNN is also emphasizing Bush's attacks on Kerry for making wild charges, and not covering as much of Kerry's speech as they show of Bush. It is so discouraging.

ABC has been more balanced and hopefully they will run the breaking story tonight (run by an ABC affiliate) of the imbedded reporters who took video and can vouch for existence of thousands of containers there unprotected.

4. The free press is dead...never forget that...
...especially as Nov. 2nd grows near. They are simply 'Goring' Kerry with half-truths and outright lies. The lies and distortions go unchallenged because the RWing-owned networks refuse to allow equal time for opposing views.

- Once again....the issue is not whether the explosives were there. The issue is that the Bush* Pentagon was more concerned with securing the oil than the munitions plants and the infrastructure of Iraq.
