Minneapolis ABC affiliate KSTP-TV, which had a crew embedded with the 101st Airborne Division during the war, released videotape that it said showed soldiers examining explosives at the massive Al-Qaqaa facility nine days after the fall of Baghdad. The video could possibly undermine Bush's suggestion the explosives were looted before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

I guess you missed the earlier post where the first group of our soldiers who entered the area said that "NO IAE TAGS WERE PRESENT"! Gone already. No story get it?
> I could care less when it was brought up because you can bet your ass Bush > would've never brought it up and that is obvious!
Why would he bother to bring up something that may have been removed BEFORE the ground work began? Why is it the same people who claimed Sadamned couldn't hide 10LBs of WMD no claim that 380 Tons of high explosives disappeared right under our noses? You getting it yet? BTW "International Atomic Energy Agency documents ... indicate the amount of missing explosives may be substantially less than the Iraqis reported. ...on Jan. 14, 2003, the agency's inspectors recorded that just over three tons of RDX were stored at the facility � a considerable discrepancy from what the Iraqis reported." http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=204304&page=1 http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20041028-122637-6257r.htm
You still don't seem to get it.

"With the same energy...I put into going after the Viet Cong and trying to win for our country,<
Umm after filing false reports to get 2 out of the 3 purple hearts (no enemy fire when he accidently wounded himself with a grenade launcher during a night time training exercise, no enemy fire when he got rice embedded in his butt after "he" droped a grenade into a rice storage in a village while doing patrol aand didn't run fast enough). He was the ONLY Swift boat commander to take an early leave out of Vietnam before completing a full tour. Sounds like he was "really" motivated to going after the Viet Cong. NOT!
> "I pledge to you I will hunt down and capture or kill the terrorists > before they harm us. And we will wage a war on terror that makes > America proud and brings the world to our side."
Is that the same kind of pledge he violated after returning from Vietnam? The one where he swore to uphold the Constitution, which clearly expresses the seriousness of an Officer giving "aid and comfort to the enemy" which he violated TWICE meeting with the enemy in Paris (he was still an officer in the reserves) AND either lying to everyone (the Congessional Committee, the press, and on Dick Cavitt) that "he also committed attrocities in Vietnam" OR the fact he failed to report witnessing same to his superiors which is another violation, making him guilty of a war crime, and waiting to publicaly make a spectical in front of the world. (causing our POW's to suffer in the process) Do I need to continue? Do you now understand that IF he fights Terrorism in the same manner that he "fought VC", he WILL lose.
