After showing satellite photo "meant to show" that Saddam may have taken them away, they changed stories after KSTP tape.

1. It should have said
'Pentagon "shitting bricks" on explosives story'

Lucky I'm not a journalist and don't do headlines for CNN, I guess! It'd end my career, but it would have been a blaze of glory.

2. They throw the stuff out there and then ...
when they're smacked in the face with reality and/or contradictory evidence, they have to "shift gears".

4. Pentagon bitten in the butt
by their publicity whoring.

Without the "embedded" camera crew, they could have continued "the Russians moved them to Syria" spin.
