4. I expect tomorrow Hannity will tell us how a Romulan Warbird beamed...
...them to their ship in low orbit and flew them Romulus as a gift and proof that Saddam was in cahoots with the Romulan High Command.

22. Nonsense...
It was the trained tropical fire ants that moved that stuff, granule by granule to an undisclosed location, somewhat east, south, west and north of Baghdad.

5. I heard it...we need that transcript. That's a biggie!
He suggested they could have looted the explosives through the ventilator ducts so the seal would remain intact!!
First they say there's waaaaaay too much for people to just walk off with it, now they say they looted it through the air-ducts!
What a crock of sh*t! I can't wait for this transcript.

9. That's truly hysterical.
Really. ANd who, exactly removed 380 f*cking tons of explosives through the ventilator screens??? And where did they go after they got outside? Or do those ventilator screens lead to tunnels that end up in Syria?

Hatch has officially crossed over into the Twilight Zone. He was close before but he needs restraints now.

...brought back IN through the ventilator screens so they could be filmed by a journalist later!

Why, OF COURSE!!!!

Wow, this meltdown is getting entertaining. On another board I'm on I just had one freeper just absolutely blow off the video and say "the troops said they were gone when they got there, I trust the troops more than the liberal media"

Yeah, and more than his own lying eyes apparently.

invisible mojo on the explosives. Then they tractor-beamed it out of the depot. Then they took it to Syria. France is guarding it in Syria. I swear, Putin just told me this.

19. ROFL! That's a lot of crawling
through air ducts. Assuming 50 lb. sacks and a 2 minute crawl time, that's 3 weeks of crawling through the ducts, 24 hours a day.

But hey, if Orrin(pave the planet) Hatch says it, I guess that's the way it happened. lol

25. Someone crawled through the Jeffries Tubes
Sure. But it's irrelevant: they knew the explosives should have been there, the seals were still in place, but the troops weren't instructed to secure them, or even to check if they were still in the bunkers. Then the place was looted, the seals were broken, and the explosives went missing. The miraculous excuse is that they were smuggled out before hand - and the planners presumably knew this and therefore didn't send soldiers to secure the facility?

28. On a serious note: this statement by Orrin Hatch is THE
stupidest thing I have ever heard a politician say, bar none. Beats Dan Quayle by a long shot. Even beats the 18 minute gap explanation during Watergate.

34. of course, it had to happen *after* the soldiers filmed themselves
cutting the IAEA seal and checking out what was clearly a large amount of explosive, and then leaving. i suppose it's reasonable to assume "insurgents," the wacky folks they are, prefer ventilator screens to the then-open front door.

<snip>

ZAHN: What evidence do you have that would support that, sir?

HATCH: Well, I don't know that we do have any evidence other than the -- the satellite photos of the trucks and the fact that they're now admitting that there were only three -- three tons of RDX explosive at the time, rather than 141 tons.

You know, it's -- it looks to me like they must have cleaned that up before. And they could have done so without breaking the seals by going through the ventilator screens and they could easily be removed. And they could have taken the stuff out then.

One other thing, the commander on the ground said that it would have been virtually impossible for the insurgents to come in and take those materials, and Paul Bremer says the same, because the -- our country controlled all the roads there. It would have been virtually impossible.
