Rove can't spin this story in any way that's good for Bush...
If he tries to spin it as WMD's, then it will show that Bush lost the only WMD's found.

He can't blame it on Kerry or Clinton. This is Bush's war and his problem. I could see him try to blame it on the military though. They were successful doing this with the prison abuse scandal. I don't think America will fall for it this time.

His only option is to try to find another story to spin. Let's hope there is not one out there. Is THK put away somewhere? Just kidding.

Let's hope the media cooperates on this one.

6. Exactly.
The shit that * has done & gotten away with is worst by orders of magnitude than anything Clinton was even ACCUSED of.

The fact that this race is supposedly neck-and-neck is to me an indictment of our media and their inability to criticize the boy king.

3. It's good of you to assume we know what you're talking about
"this story" is a little vague, isn't it? I'm assuming that because you refer to spinning it as WMDs, you mean the tons of explosives stolen in Iraq.

5. They never were "WMD"
They were explosives, NOT "WMD, and they were KNOWN and MONITORED by the UN before the invasion.

AK-47s are also NOT "WMD", nor are RPGs.

The 50+ munitions depots with 650,000 tons of munitions were also all known before the invasion, and are also all looted because bush didn't bother ensuring they were secured, and they also were never "WMD".

The world media, even US media, has reported on these NOT "WMD" munitions sites being left unsecured since May 2003. And bush DID NOTHING.

TNT IS NOT "WMD".

And not even bushCartel can spin otherwise.

Period.
