CNN doing a good job with the explosives story I think.
They're really pounding it hard and even mentioning that a big question now is how long did the administration know they were gone.

It's coming up again real soon.

Regular CNN, not the headline news (though it might be there too)

5. Yeah...they should have kept that going. They did get all of Bill though.
And to be fair, they do cut off chimp after a certain amount of time.

3. And now they are tearing down John Kerry with their pitiful commentary...
about how the Miniscule "Fraternal Order of Police" endorsed Bush.

:argh:

4. Until that ASSHAT "Expert" said no one could secure all of them.

7. I know, that pissed me off too....he's trying to make these sites seem
typical. They weren't.

To the credit of the CNN talking head though, she did try to pump it up and at the end said something like
"It will be interesting to find out what the administration knew.....and we'll be following that part of the story also"

That's good!

6. Question? Those missing explosives, did they belong to the US military
or were they explosives belonging to the Iraqi military? I don't know much about weapons and explosives but I was just wondering if those explosives were ones we left behind from Desert Storm?

8. No, they weren't US. They belonged to the Iraqis. They were under key by
the IAEA.

9. So, while our "eye in the sky" was following trucks with bogus "bios"
Saddam was moving and hiding his only real weapons right under our noses? And just where did this 300 tons of stuff come from originally? The US, France, UK, Russia?

10. So far they haven't made the connection between them
and our troops being blown up, though.

13. That expert they had from Harvord University was great! Now we're REALLY
scared, and it's because of the Bush administrations failure!

Guy said this is a "REALLY big deal".

Military grade high explosives. TNT is peanuts comparted to this stuff.

Notice the tag on the CNN pictures of the bunker. It says "IAEA" on it. This story isn't goign away anytime soon.

Bush should resign over the incompetent waging of this war.

15. What's the big deal?
Someone in the administration said it's "stuff you can buy anywhere."

18. The important thing is that it gives
Mr. K a huge issue to show the incompetence for this whole last week. And the best possible example to show Bush's ignorant statements about him being able to keep us safe.

This is a 9 out of 10 bonanza on the Bush goes down meter.
