Huge Cache of Explosives Vanished From Site in Iraq

giddy do you fault this president for anything?

 

Most of presidential managing of wars is political not militaristic.

Bush's day of accountability is coming.

I guess you expect a mistake-free war, huh?

Mistakes are better know as enemy responses and it's not always possible to know those ahead of time.

 

I don't know.. probably. I'm too busy defending him from your sides constant, and I mean constant, onslaught!



Do you give him credit for anything?

 

Oh...yes....

 

i fault him for a lot.

but where the other side loses credibility with me is faulting him for everything...for finding conspiracy in every news release...for blaming him from everything under the sun. the same credibility lost by "the other side" when clinton was in office. it's a joke. and the mantra is repeated here daily.

again...team sports politics. woo hoo!!!

 

I don't expect a mistake free war. I do expect the president to hold people accountable for mistakes and take action to see that they don't happen again. I don't expect the President to deny mistakes have happened, and attack other people for pointing out that they do happen.

 

I have said many times before that I give Bush all the credit in the world for his leadership immediately following 9/11 and for starting to do the right thing in Afghanistan. It was only after Afghanistan that he lost my support.

 

"THE PRESIDENT: He [Saddam] would control all those weapons and explosives and could have shared them with our terrorist enemies."


uh Mr President, our terrorist enemies have the explosives now that Saddam is gone, thats the point!

-from the Daily Show last night

 

To satisfy you, Bush would have a revolving door administration. Every two weeks, you are onto some catastrophic failure. That is unrealistic.

Clinton got harangued for his personal failures. Bush gets harangued for every detail as you attempt to lay them at his feet for political gain.

 

It's possible to hold people accountable without firing them. Some of the many mistakes have been made from the same people, so holding them accountable the first time might have stopped other mistakes.

 

I would be remiss for not mentioning that between 9/11 and end of the Iraq War GWB got a serious free ride from press and that other party.

 

Did anybody watch the Frontline thing on Don Rumsfeld?

There are some apologists who like to say that nobody could forsee the complications we are having. There are some former employees like General Shinseki who pointed these things out pre-war. No surprise, he was fired.

 

The pics of the IAEA seal are substantially convincing IMO.

 

"Soldier to brief reporters at Pentagon within the hour that he was tasked with removing explosives from al QaQaa and he and his unit removed 200+ tons... Officer was ordered to join the 101st airborne on April 13 -- to destroy conventional explosives at the al QaQaa complex... Developing... "

This is an odd story...

 

yeah, not sure what to make of it - it brings a lot of questions though

if the Army had destoryed some of the explosives in question - why didn't the Pentagon know when the story broke? why is it taking an individual soilder coming forward for this to be "known" ? Why did the Pentagon offer a dozen different stories?

April 13 - the date this soilder is saying vs April 18- the date of the video of soilders breaking open seals

Why did the Pentagon offer satalite images yesterday of March 2003 saying it was Iraqi looters? (only to have that photo debunked)

 

and most importantly, why is Iraq writing letters to the IAEA in Octorber 2004 saying all of these explosives are missing if the Army destoryed some of them in April 2003?

Why didnt the Army notify the IAEA that it was destorying explosives at Al Qaqaa ?

 

Let's hope the media doesn't puss out and instead asks the tough questions.

 

If the Army did know about this why were Cheney and Bush running around saying the munitions might have been moved before the invasion, and then attacking Kerry's character over the charges?

 

It's a good thing that both Bush and Kerry are going to be on ESPN this weekend...

 

If I'm Sen. Kerry I use this to show the incompetence of the Bush Admin. And let the "liberal" media do its thing.
