Beware of BushCo spin... The 4 ton of EXPLOSIVES were proof of WMD

[xultar]

Yup! If you haven't heard it already. That will be the spin today.

the 4tons of lost Explosives are proof that we needed to go to war. They were WMD.


:puke:

[sisenor]

1. But that is not very favorable spin:

You go to war to get weapons of mass destruction.
You loose weapons of mass destruction.

[Q]

2. 'Weapons of mass destruction...

...have never included conventional weapons. They are:

Nuclear

Chemical

Biological

[xultar]

3. Really, well they aren't going to be saying that whill they are spinning..

That's how they are gonna try to sell it to the independents and their base.

Watch...

[KeepItReal]

7. Keep repeating that Q...even our friends here at DU are being misled.

Enhanced, glorified TNT ain't a WMD.

[OneTwentyoNine]

4. It was almost 400 tons but....

I guess if thats a reason for War then we should attack nearly every country in the World. Go ahead Chimp try and spin this one,I dare ya.

5. Heck, if that's the case attack

West Virginia or any other mining state.

6. thanks, i was expecting it. n/t

[truthpusher]

8. let them spin it..the bad karma will kill em'...

...the fact is that this stuff is being used to kill our guys and the * supporters are trying to spin this and not take responsibility. Anybody with a soul can see that this was wrong.

[Vickers]

9. Ask them: at the beginning of the "war" how many folks were assigned

to guarding oil fields, and how many folks were assigned to securing munitions dumps?

[JerseygirlCT]

10. I've been hearing this already... so pathetic! nt

[Q]

11. The Bushies can't just arbitrarily change the meaning of 'WMD"...

...A 'weapon of mass destruction' has always been described as:

Nuclear

Chemical

Biological

- Besides...those who took the stash of explosives aren't going to use them in one big bang. They will use them bit by bit on 'roadside bombs' and in suicide attacks.

[jayctravis]

13. ...they arbitrarily change everything else! (n/t)

[Zero Gravitas]

12. errrr.... OK

Bring it ON. Despite the fact that the WMDs that supposedly left us no choice to invade were newklar, chemical and biological weapons, not conventional explosives, lets play along. WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THEY SECURE THESE DANGEROUS WEAPONS IF THEY WERE THE REASON WE INVADED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Morons.

OK they were the WMDs but the Bush regime was too incompetent to make sure they didn't fall into the wrong hands. George W. Bush, you are fired.

[flobee1kenobi]

14. When we stormed Bagdad

the weapons were still sealed by the IAEA according to the Pentagon!
The stockpile was safe til we got there!

[wishlist]

15. If so, means that Bushco cared more about the oil than about WMD's

The notion that the explosives are WMD's justifying going in after Saddam backfires, since if they were the WMD's then why did we not find and safeguard them instead of concentrating on safeguarding the oil fields!

Just more proof that Bush and his cronies were lying all along about reasons we invaded.

MSNBC says this is a hot button political issue- the media is not going to drop this one like they do so many of Bush's screwups.
