"HUGE CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ:
U.S. admits the loss of material it was urged to safeguard -- Inquiry is set"

Oct. 26th front page of New York Times:

"IRAQ EXPLOSIVES BECOME ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN
Kerry sees blunder -- Bush aides respond"

No mention of other, shall we say, nuanced developments.

By the way, thanks for all the traffic. I'd reciprocate, but I think most of my 15 readers already read you.

I notice that ABC News has expanded the quantity of missing explosives to 400 tons. Hey, whats 40 tons of explosives when you have a hot story?

Perhaps from now on organizations like 60 Minutes should carry an identifying letter like politicians and fun Puritan women. Like so:
CBS News (D)

Ace, I know that you're suffering from typing fatigue and are typing faster than you are thinking, but you need to fix a few aggravating typos.

On your left-hand Lede, please insert the word "of";

and in this current post's headline you need to put "there" there instead of their.

Geeze, Ace, you NEVER need a grammar nanny, are you outsorcing your typing? Not to worry, I've got your six.

Wait! I know a bunch of grammar police! Shall I get the Banterist to cite your site and send some web hits your way?

:o)

CBS was planning to air this in the eve of the election. Does this mean it's the "hottest" stuff they have on the President?!? If so, that's just lame.

Another nail in the coffin for CBS. Anyone mind if I gloat?

PBS is airing a show called "Rumsfield's WAr" TONIGHT From the PBS Website:

Rumsfeld's War
With the United States Army deployed in a dozen hot spots around the world, on constant alert in Afghanistan, and taking casualties every day in Iraq, some current and former officers now say the army is on the verge of being "broken." They charge that the army is overstretched, demoralized, and may be unable to fight where and when the nation desires. This fall, FRONTLINE and The Washington Post join forces for an in-depth assessment of the state of the American army and the nation's military establishment. The program digs into the aggressive attempts to assert civilian control and remake the military by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and his allies."

Where is the outrage? Isn't this the "line" now that the libs are pulling - that the military is "broken"- stretched too thin ... and here comes PBS to put it all in perspective for us.

CBS' collective head on a PIKE!
Draw and Quarter NY Times staff!

"Stay on Target!"

The Deathstar is gonna blow Nov 2nd!

Just a point about securing Iraq:
I am sick of hearing about how we "protected the Iraqi Oil Ministry but didn't bother to secure high explosives!"

Just to explain or make this point - As I have said many times before - Could it be that the President and the Army knew more about what our real enemy/objective was in Iraq?

The weapons were not in the ammo dump when the army got there!

But the Documents that prove the UN was corrupt and was actually paid to be our enemy in this endeavor were still in the oil ministry! Got that! Without those we wouldn't have proof as to why they blocked us - why they stopped our entry through Turkey, which would have freed up our troops to stay behind and guard an empty ammo dump!

We wouldn't have been able to confront them (which I believe will happen in Bush's second term) and cause a real alliance against terror!

Folks, our real enemies in this matter are spinning this and Kerry and the Main Stream Media is helping them just so they can take over power. But what kind of power will they have at the end of this? We will be lucky to have the "spitballs" Zell Miller discussed at the RNC!

Ace--

Your link to my site is bad.

I wouldn't normally mention, but I eat site links for fuel.

If my Sitemeter doesn't go up, I could go into a coma.

As Dr. House says, YOU'RE RISKING THE PATIENT'S LIFE!!

Cheers,
Dave

Mucho gracias, and Tierra Del Fuego.

Cheers,
Dave

I read on Amy Ritenour's site that on 11/01/04, Sundance will air (4) hit piece's on President Bush and his administration starting at 7:00 pm.

The first one's actually a cry piece about the 2000 elections.

The second one is "The Whole Truth About Iraq".

Three is "The War On Our Civil Liberties". Yeah, I really feel oppressed under dictator Bush.

Then they round it out with "Bush's Brain" which is actually about Karl Rove.

After all of that they'll serve up a wise-ass Al Franken as a sort of "cool down" sedative for all of the liberal democratic audience who had become so angry at watching the Bush bash that they'd began foaming at the mouth like a rabid liberal democrat is becoming known for.
