Iraq explosives blow up John Kerry and the New York Times

The demolition of John Kerry via NYTrogate (read nitro gate) continues.

Possible Russian involvement. Remember that Russian convoy out of Iraq as reported by CNN on April 6, 2003?

Speaking of convoys, remember our satellites caught an Iraqi convoy going into Syria on March 17th, 2003.

John Kerry's advisers admit they don't know what happened and yet Kerry blames US troops.

John Kerry's UN friends called for the destruction of these explosives in 1995 - when Clinton was president.

The US 3rd Infantry Division was first to the munitions site on Apr 3 2003 and didn't see the explosvies.

ABC News is reporting that there wasn't 377 tons of explosives at the facility but just 3 tons.

But the confidential IAEA documents obtained by ABC News show that on Jan. 14, 2003, the agency's inspectors recorded that just over 3 tons of RDX was stored at the facility — a considerable discrepancy from what the Iraqis reported.

The IAEA documents could mean that 138 tons of explosives were removed from the facility long before the start of the United States launched "Operation Iraqi Freedom" in March 2003.

And this:

The IAEA documents from January 2003 found no discrepancy in the amount of the more dangerous HMX explosives thought to be stored at Al-Qaqaa, but they do raise another disturbing possibility.

The documents show IAEA inspectors looked at nine bunkers containing more than 194 tons of HMX at the facility. Although these bunkers were still under IAEA seal, the inspectors said the seals may be potentially ineffective because they had ventilation slats on the sides. These slats could be easily removed to remove the materials inside the bunkers without breaking the seals, the inspectors noted.

In a blatant attempt at election tampering, CBS, in conjunction with The NYT planned to run the NYTrogate story on the eve of the US elections but The NYT went with the story early. Why?

The Washington Post has the answer.

On Sunday night, New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller told Jeff Fager, executive producer of CBS's "60 Minutes," that the story they had been jointly pursuing on missing Iraqi ammunition was starting to leak on the Internet.

"You know what? We're going to have to run it Monday," Keller said.

Answer, the bloggers made me do it!

Now the New York Times rollback begins but fails miserably. The headline wants you to believe that the US ignored Iraqi pleas to guard the site but the story contains this admission from the Times.

The accounts do not directly address the question of when 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives vanished from the site sometime after early March, the last time international inspectors checked the seals on the bunkers where the material was stored. It is possible that Iraqi forces removed some explosives before the invasion.

That's right, caught red handed committing election tampering, The NYT finally admits they don't know when the explosives went missing and relutantly concede "It is possibleIraqi forces removed some explosives before the invasion".

And John Kerry swallowed the story, hook, line and sinker and started blaming our troops.

Just another reason John Kerry is not fit to be commander and chief.
