ammo dump fiasco

manu1959 · Oct 26, 2004

cnn said that on jan 24th 2003, the weapons inspectors were there at a "known WMD facility" on a daily basis and found...........................no WMD's only conventional weapons

nbc reporter on april 10, 2003, with 101st airbone found............zip

looks like somebody moved it between 01.24.03 and 04.10.03...BEFORE the US army showed up

I looked on the Politics forum a little before noon and found . . . . . . . . nothing about Usher's sex tape, but I did find a thread about the munitions dump and the missing explosives.

Manu1959 looked on the same forum at 1:00 and found . . . . . . . . zip! So he started a new thread.

Looks like someone deleted the original thread between noon and 1:00--BEFORE Manu1959 showed up!!!!

I see you figured out how to spell "California" on the third or fourth try.

Manu1959, in all seriousness, you might want to check the other thread on this subject, because even NBC isn't claiming that "there were no weapons there" anymore.

Well try this on for size:

MSNBC did an interview today with a producer from the news crew that was there. transcript:

Amy Robach: And it's still unclear exactly when those explosives disappeared. Here to help shed some light on that question is Lai Ling. She was part of an NBC news crew that traveled to that facility with the 101st Airborne Division back in April of 2003. Lai Ling, can you set the stage for us? What was the situation like when you went into the area?
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.

That's the great thing about being Matt Drudge - no matter what trash comes out of your mouth, there is absolutely no downside.

That's the great thing about being Dan Rather - no matter what trash comes out of your mouth, there is absolutely no downside.

That's the great thing about being John Kerry- no matter what trash comes out of your mouth, there is absolutely no downside.

That's the great thing about being John Edwards- no matter what trash comes out of your mouth, there is absolutely no downside.

How about we move this to the politics thread that is already started about it.

Unless of course the Reeps want two threads about 380 TONS OF MISSING EXPLOSIVES to be bashed with.

Fuck. Me. Freddy. You've got to be kidding. Even *you can't say his name or he will appear* wasn't this stupid.

I've decided not to feed the sock-puppet. This cat can't even spell his "home state" right. True short yellow bus material...
