“These explosives are highly dangerous”.

All military explosives are dangerous,thats the idea.

“That’s why they were tracked by the IAEA. That’s why the IAEA repeatedly warned us about this stuff, both before and after the invasion.”

The IAEA hadn’t the faintest idea how much of this stuff there was,or its location.Al Baredei made a statement in 2003 saying this.

“We knew exactly where it was. We just didn’t pay attention, even though securing arms was one of the main reasons for the invasion. Pure criminal negligence. Why did it get lost? Because we sent 50 tanks to surround the oil ministry.”

This was only a fraction of Iraq’s arsenal,spread over some major 150 sites in Iraq,there were hundreds of smaller caches and dumps all over the country.

“These missing explosives are potentially the equivalent of 600 Hiroshimas (given that one pound killed 170 at Lockerbie)”.

What killed the poor souls at Lockerbie was altitude and decompression,airliners are vulnerable to any kind of explosive devices,that is why the filthy scum targeted them.

The explosive used was Semtex,a freely available explosive.

600 Hiroshimas,so Saddam Hussein did have WMD after all?

“As an old fart, my experience has been that anyone who went out of their way to assure me of their honesty ended up being a stone cold liar. I call it the law of opposites.”

Keep that in mind next time you listen to one of Bush’s speeches, huh?

I know some Bush apologists will complain that this couldn’t really be Bush’s fault. That he’s not accountable or something like that. The buck stops elsewhere, somewhere down the line.

Bush says he’s trying to create a “responsibility society,” a society where “each of us understands we are responsible for the decisions we make in life.”

Bush and Rummy were repeatedly warned, before and after the invasion, that more troops were needed. They ignored this advice. The results of this bad judgment are devastating. Nice to see that you and Bush believe that “responsibility” is something that only applies to the other guy.

I didn’t think so.

Look at that salute again,he can’t be doing that voluntarily,surely?

I’d say it has to be voluntary. That salute makes even the most rabid Democrats cringe.

Besides, who has the brains to manipulate Bullwinkle? You get beyond Lieberman and Koch and the collective Democrative Braintrust can’t seem to find its’ ass with two hands and a mirror.

Yes,I know he has an amzing,almost lifelike quality about him but nobody’s limbs move like that without there being strings attached.Look at that salute again,he can’t be doing that voluntarily,surely?

My fear is that the Democrats and their handmaidens in the MSM are fully aware of their candidates obvious shortcomings and wish merely to use him as a figurehead to be manipulated by them.

I very much doubt it is anything as sophisticated as that. I see it more as headlong flight from the reality of September 11, 2001. The Democratic Party that now surrounds John Kerry has nothing to manipulate towards. Its’ vision encompasses only that which it must manipulate itself away from.
