Ted Koppel Nightline: explosives coming up!

"I didn't realize it but I was there."

1. WTF

[shelley806]

5. I don't think he must have seen the Minnesota abc video...

What say you?

[shelley806]

2. April 2, 2003 at Al Qa Qaa

Rocket fuel facility, explosives at facility..Saying that explosives were probably removed before US arrived...

[AlamoDemoc]

3. He double-talked his way through as usual...what an asshole

[glarius]

6. I agree...he always says enough to try to sound impartial but he makes

sure he doesn't hurt Bush!

[gumby]

12. Bingo!

That's so 'right.'

If you haven't (and care to) read Bob Sommerby's arguments against Ted at http://www.dailyhowler.com put 'koppel, swift boat' into the search box.

4. Doesn't matter - they have the video that proves they were there.

They actually showed it on CNN.

9. Good...I saw that too

I thought Koppel was going to verify the new video evidence, but he did the reverse.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

7. Too bad they didn't cut this ass off in 2002.

He's wasting good air time. Maybe we could give Jennings the job of hosting Nightline too. At least he reported the video exposing Bushco. Kopel is scum!

[madmax]

8. The video is from April 17

So they were there after Koppel (Koppel April 2) and the stuff was there!


David Kay confirms ABC video contents, definitely US responsibility

On Arron Brown, he concludes definitively from ABC video:

-at least one bunker was intact on April 17 - one of very few
-after opening it, the military has an implicit obligation to guard it.
-the protection of these facilities SHOULD have and COULD have been anticipated.
-this would NOT be classified as a "WMD" in and of itself
-the contents of the containers could be nothing besides HMX or RMX

10. Very Good, thank you

I saw that; The powder was tested and the initial conclusion was that it was explosives, not nerve gas, but that isn't mentioned in the press?

11. The CNN transcript is unavailable so far, but I broke into tears when

he said that this stuff was our responsibility.

This is the guy Bush* sent looking for WMD, giving him carte blanche because he believed they were there.

Kay is a stand up guy. He always has been. It moved me that our troops have missing limbs because we didn't send in enough forces because we were all alone.

And they are still blasting France and the UN and Russia.
