Saddam's Explosives

Remember the Dem's October Surprise? Those many tons of missing high explosives which Kerry went on to use as an example of the Bush administration's incompetence in Iraq? Sure, you do. It was in all the papers, all over the Main Stream Media, the big thing on ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/PMSNBC/NYT. How could we forget it?

Well, seems they found out exactly what probably happened to all of that UN sealed and locked-away ordnance.

Saddam had it removed before the war ever really got revved up completely. It had just barely started when his minions nabbed that shit.

Egads! No! How could this have happened!

"As American forces closed in on Baghdad last year, senior members of Saddam Hussein's government devised a plan to send suicide bombers in vehicles packed with devastating high-energy explosives that were under UN safeguards."

So THAT'S what happened. Oh, it gets better.

A letter to Saddam from Dr Naji Sabri, the Iraqi Foreign Minister, five days before the fall of Baghdad, suggests taking the HMX from underground bunkers, where it had been kept under seal by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and giving it to suicide bombers.

He wrote: "It is possible to increase the explosive power of the suicide-driven cars by using the highly explosive material [HMX] which is sealed by the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] and stored in the warehouses of the Military Industry Departments."

Can you believe it? And all this time we thought it was administrative incompetence here. No, the incompetence was in the reporting by the world media in their desparate bid to affect the election here. Much like Bin Laden's video tape, this was to boost support for Kerry (regardless of the demented theory that senile ex-anchorman tried to float on the Larry King show) and intended to hoist Bush on the false petard of a poorly handled war.

Chew on this one a while, ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/PMSNBC/NYT. And choke on it. We know you won't even mention it to your viewship/readership. We wouldn't expect you to. It would be completely out of character for any of you.
