4. 'Smatter of fact...
Wolfie just said they'd be discussing the "political fallout" in a few minutes with Madeline Albright and Henry Buttkissner.

5. Yes. Right now, on CNN, they are playing what Kerry said and talking
about how LESS THEN A POUND of these types of explosives were what took down the Pan Am flight over Lockerbee, Scotland.

That point I think is devastating in showing how dangerous it is that insurgents and terrorists were able to loot 380 TONS of it.

7. I went to faux for a couple of hours
no mention of it until just now. WHen we were discussing it on DU faux was doing their typical tittalating, soft core porn "news"cast. Then when gibson finally brought it up in a conversation with Wes Clark, his spin was "what could the president possibly have done, the arms were probably removed by Saddam's people before we were able to secure it".

Haven't blamed Clinton yet. He has an alibi, he was in Philly today.

10. I heard Fat Rush
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 04:54 PM by DefenseLawyer
refer to the explosives as WMD. "My friends, theses were just the kinds of weapons we went in for in the first place, blah blah blah. These were weapons of mass destruction themselves" Tried the "they were probably gone before we got there" line too, then he just got incoherent and screamed "Gimme somethin' for the pain!"
