EMAIL CNN the TRUTH about the NBC "report" that Rove is pushing...

[BUSHOUT]

I saw the video Skinner posted before he yanked it.

I won't repost that, cause he doesn't want to overload that website.

But, go HERE and read the transcript of the NBC news interview with the embedded reporter done today to shed light on the whole issue.

This is proof that the NBC "report" DOES NOT demonstrate the explosives were gone from the site when the 101st rolled through on April 10th.

Time to send a polite email to CNN asking them why they just spent half a day (and perhaps longer) pushing this obviously false claim.

Does Karl Rove tell them what to run with??

I already contacted them with this point and the larger point that it doesn't matter because Bush kicked out inspectors who were securing the explosives to begin with.

2. And here...

At the Pentagon, an official who monitors developments in Iraq said US-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, which had been under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. Thereafter the site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

5. I know...that was yesterdays news that CNN chose to ignore!

This reflects badly on CNN. They have almost outed themselves here as a Karl Rove mouthpiece.

7. one version of the video (slanted - but w/ the info)

is available at http://www.dailyrecycler.com/blog/

it's been "Cropped" into a propoganda piece (but a bad one ... and it shows what was actually said)

[BUSHOUT]

14. No....it doesn't include what was said by the embedded reporter today.

But thanks. I hadn't seen the poorly done NBC news report that led to the Karl Rove blindside.

8. MSNBC calling it a "Mystery"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6323933/

"Timing of theft of Iraq explosives remains a mystery"

[BUSHOUT]

11. Idiots. Media is acting like a ref in playoffs...don't want to make call

that might decide the game.

The need to realize this isn't a game.....this isn't the "Stanley Cup", it's the real world and we want the truth.

Admit that NBC did NOT report that the place was searched and explosives were confirmed gone on April 10th.

Lai Ling Jew: When we went into the area, we were actually leaving Karbala and we were initially heading to Baghdad with the 101st Airborne, Second Brigade. The situation in Baghdad, the Third Infantry Division had taken over Baghdad and so they were trying to carve up the area that the 101st Airborne Division would be in charge of. Um, as a result, they had trouble figuring out who was going to take up what piece of Baghdad. They sent us over to this area in Iskanderia. We didn't know it as the Qaqaa facility at that point but when they did bring us over there we stayed there for quite a while. Almost, we stayed overnight, almost 24 hours. And we walked around, we saw the bunkers that had been bombed, and that exposed all of the ordinances that just lied dormant on the desert.

AR: Was there a search at all underway or was, did a search ensue for explosives once you got there during that 24-hour period?

LLJ: No. There wasn't a search. The mission that the brigade had was to get to Baghdad. That was more of a pit stop there for us. And, you know, the searching, I mean certainly some of the soldiers head off on their own, looked through the bunkers just to look at the vast amount of ordnance lying around. But as far as we could tell, there was no move to secure the weapons, nothing to keep looters away. But there was – at that point the roads were shut off. So it would have been very difficult, I believe, for the looters to get there.

AR: And there was no talk of securing the area after you left. There was no discussion of that?

LLJ: Not for the 101st Airborne, Second Brigade. They were -- once they were in Baghdad, it was all about Baghdad, you know, and then they ended up moving north to Mosul. Once we left the area, that was the last that the brigade had anything to do with the area.

AR: Well, Lai Ling Jew, thank you so much for shedding some light into that situation. We appreciate it.
