I agree with you 100% but thats was not Kerry's intent was it?????? In a statement, Kerry senior adviser Joe Lockhart said, "the Bush administration must answer for what may be the most grave and catastrophic mistake in a tragic series of blunders in Iraq.

Feel free to sweep this under the rug: From CNN.com October 26, 2004 The mystery surrounding the disappearance of 380 tons of powerful explosives from a storage depot in Iraq has taken a new twist, after a network embedded with the U.S. military during the invasion of Iraq reported that the material had already vanished by the time American troops arrived. NBC News reported that on April 10, 2003, its crew was embedded with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division when troops arrived at the Al Qaqaa storage facility south of Baghdad. While the troops found large stockpiles of conventional explosives, they did not find HMX or RDX, the types of powerful explosives that reportedly went missing, according to NBC. The International Atomic Energy Agency revealed Monday that it had been told two weeks ago by the Iraqi government that 380 tons of HMX and RDX disappeared from Al Qaqaa after Saddam Hussein's government fell. In a letter to the IAEA dated October 10, Iraq's director of planning, Mohammed Abbas, said the material disappeared sometime after Saddam's regime fell in April 2003 … Baghdad fell on April 9, 2003. According to NBC, troops from the 101st Airborne arrived the next day to find that the material was already gone. Prior to the Iraq war, the high-grade explosives at Al Qaqaa had been under the control of IAEA inspectors because the material could be used as a component in a nuclear weapon, IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said. IAEA and other U.N. inspectors left the country in March 2003 before the fighting began on March 19. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Monday that five days after the IAEA received the letter from the Iraqi government, the agency alerted U.S. officials in Vienna, who in turn told National Security Director Condoleezza Rice. She then alerted Bush, McClellan said. Once U.S. officials were alerted, the multinational force in Iraq and the Iraq Survey Group, charged with hunting for weapons in Iraq, were both ordered to investigate what was missing and the possible circumstances, according to State Department spokesman Adam Ereli. "We, from the very beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, did everything we could to secure arms caches throughout the country," Ereli said. "But given the number of arms and the number of caches and the extent of militarization of Iraq, it was impossible to provide 100 percent security for 100 percent of the sites, quite frankly." The news of the missing explosives followed an IAEA report earlier this month that said high-end, dual-use machinery that could be used in a nuclear weapons program was missing from Iraq's nuclear facilities. … She described Al Qaqaa as "massive" and said it is one of the most well-known storage sites. Besides the explosives, it also held large caches of artillery. Fleming said the IAEA, which is based in Vienna, Austria, did not know whether some of the explosives may have been used in past attacks. The IAEA said that before the war it inspected the Al Qaqaa facility multiple times and verified that the material was present in January 2003. The agency said the material was mentioned in reports to the U.N. Security Council that were made public. Ereli said coalition forces searched 32 bunkers and 87 other buildings at the Al Qaqaa facility after the war for weapons of mass destruction. The troops found none, but did see indications of looting, he said. Bush declared an end to major combat operations in Iraq on May 1, 2003. "Some explosive material at the time was discovered, although none of it carried IAEA seals, and this discovery was reported to coalition forces for removal of the material," Ereli said. Ereli said coalition forces have cleared 10,033 weapons caches and destroyed 243,000 tons of munitions. Another 162,898 tons of munitions are at secure locations and awaiting destruction, he said. ... http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/10/26/iraq.explosives/index.html Like I said. Kerry will try and win by focusing on the uninformed.

At least I found it to be funny. http://www.clubforgrowth.net/video/zucker.wmv Enjoy, OBBY

Don't even waste your time with him. He can't even vote which means his opinion doesn't count. SORRY !!!!! It seems like he is just here to currently enjoy the life a capitalistic republic provides him while at the same time spew his venom at the same system? Freedom is great huh ????

I think his main concern is stem cell research. Great concern in my eyes too BUT just not right now.

I agree. The UN is not and has not been doing their job.

LOL

That is really sad news !!!!!!!!!! They will have their day of judgment.

Demz see the progress in Iraq as equivalent to a glass being half empty as to Republicans seeing it as being half full. I vote Republican because I see things in perspective !!!!!!!!!!!!

John Kerry will say anything he believes will help him politically, and today he is grasping at headlines to obscure his record of weakness and indecision in the War on Terror. These are the tactics of a candidate who has no message for the future and no positive record to run on. The entire country of Iraq was a weapons stockpile. So far, 243,000 tons of weapons and explosives have been secured and destroyed. In addition, 163,000 tons of weapons and explosives have been secured and are awaiting destruction. All the Monday morning-quarterbacking and armchair-generaling in the world by John Kerry won't make up for the fact that he does not have a vision, a strategy or a plan to fight and win the War on Terror. Saddam Hussein's government stored weapons in mosques, schools, hospitals and countless other locations throughout Iraq. Yet, John Kerry showed today that he still cannot decide whether Saddam Hussein was a threat or not. He claims the weapons our troops have secured and destroyed were not a threat, but any other weapons were. Flip Flop Flip Flop

Everyday brings a new charge against the President and every charge is pulled right from the headlines of the New York Times. If you want to know how John Kerry will attack the President in the afternoon, just read the Times in the morning. John Kerry will say anything he believes will help him politically, and today he is grasping at headlines to obscure his record of weakness and indecision in the War on Terror. These are the tactics of a candidate who has no message for the future and no positive record to run on. The entire country of Iraq was a weapons stockpile.

You should prepare for more baseless attacks torn from the headlines in the coming days by John Kerry. You should also expect more desperate flailing by his campaign as more polls show President Bush on his way to re-election. John Kerry is attempting to distract voters from the clear choice they face between President Bush's strong leadership to protect America and John Kerry's weak record of proposing reckless cuts to our defense and intelligence budgets. They will not succeed.

Since no one else has answered i will give you my thoughts. Welcome to the wonderful world of the Democrats. They are known for targeting the youth who will believe anything they see in the movies (Moore) or TV, the elderly who have lost their minds and the rough neighborhoods who will believe anything they are told. In other words...THE UNINFORMED. I have always said that it is ALWAYS a miracle when a Republican wins the Presidency considering all the lawsuits, lies, and conspiracies that they have to endure. Perfect example: Kerry's lawyer friends have multiple law suits pending trying to stop the airing of "FahrenHYPE 9/11" which is the contradiction to Moores film "Fahrenheit 9/11" yet no one from the Republican party tried to stop the airing of Moores film. Count the lawsuits against the Republican and count the lawsuits against the Demz and I sure you will be surprised. My advise to you Issel considering that this year has been full of misguiding information is to read up on both sides voting records and ask yourself who has the record of voting for what I believe in. What will benefit me and my family during these times. Don't believe anyone that tells you Politics do not effect our lives. Politics affects our lives, our families lives and our future. To say it's just "one opinion against another" is naïve. It's more than that. Affects the money in our pocket and our security. Those who are uninvolved have every right to do so, but don't buy the line about it just being one mans word against another's. Just ask yourself, did you get more of your own money back. Were interest rates the lowest in history. Are soldiers dying abroad to protect us citizens at home? JUST MY ADVISE (have fun reading the responses)

Team America "Americaaaaaaaaaaaaa FUCK YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

On Sunday, the New York Times Magazine published a vicious hatchet-job on President Bush's faith. This was their ostensible effort to balance their coverage of the two principal Presidential candidates. First a shameless puff piece on Senator Kerry, "balanced" two weeks later by an attack piece on the President's faith. That is apparently the 2004 definition of balance at the once-venerable New York Times. If you want to truly understand the President's faith, you can hear George W. Bush describe it in his own words in a remarkable 28-minute documentary entitled Inner Strength: the Role of Faith in the Public Lives of George W. Bush, Rick Santorum and Zell Miller. This fast-paced documentary traces the tradition of American Presidents from Washington to the present speaking about their faith. It is augmented by Senators Santorum and Miller speaking about their own faith in addition to their close-hand observations of President Bush's faith in action. President Bush speaks of the importance of faith in his own life regularly, but most people never have the opportunity to hear him on this critically important subject. Why? Because news editors, when they review the footage shot by television pool coverage or by their own network cameras, routinely edit those remarks out. In Inner Strength, they are edited in. Original interviews with these other close observers of the President are included in Inner Strength: David Aikman, author of A Man of Faith Stephen Mansfield, author of The Faith of George W Bush Janet Parshall, host of Salem Radio Network's Janet Parshall's America Dr. Richard Land, Director of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission Dr. Robert P.

Amen to that.

For some it is though.

I wonder why they would think that Together, Kennedy and Kerry have opposed the very weapons system that won the Cold War and that is now winning the War on Terror. Listing all the weapon systems that Senator Kerry tried his best to shut down sounds like an auctioneer selling off our national security but Americans need to know the facts. The B-1 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, dropped 40 percent of the bombs in the first six months of Operation Enduring Freedom. The B-2 bomber, that Senator Kerry opposed, delivered air strikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Hussein's command post in Iraq. The F-14A Tomcats, that Senator Kerry opposed, shot down Khadifi's Libyan MIGs over the Gulf of Sidra. The modernized F-14D, that Senator Kerry opposed, delivered missile strikes against Tora Bora. The Apache helicopter, that Senator Kerry opposed, took out those Republican Guard tanks in Kuwait in the Gulf War. The F-15 Eagles, that Senator Kerry opposed, flew cover over our Nation's Capital and this very city after 9/11. I could go on and on and on: against the Patriot Missile that shot down Saddam Hussein's scud missiles over Israel; against the Aegis air-defense cruiser; against the Strategic Defense Initiative; against the Trident missile; against, against, against. This is the man who wants to be the Commander in Chief of our U.S. Armed Forces? U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs? Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside. Senator Kerry has made it clear that he would use military force only if approved by the United Nations (news - web sites). Kerry would let Paris decide when America needs defending. I want Bush to decide. John Kerry, who says he doesn't like outsourcing, wants to outsource our national security. That's the most dangerous outsourcing of all. This politician wants to be leader of the free world. Free for how long? For more than 20 years, on every one of the great issues of freedom and security, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure. As a war protester, Kerry blamed our military. As a Senator, he voted to weaken our military. And nothing shows that more sadly and more clearly than his vote this year to deny protective armor for our troops in harms way, far away. George Bush understands that we need new strategies to meet new threats. John Kerry wants to re-fight yesterday's war. George Bush believes we have to fight today's war and be ready for tomorrow's challenges. George Bush is committed to providing the kind of forces it takes to root out terrorists. -Zell Miller (Democrat)

Perspective is key !!!!!!

I have great insurance, LoJack and a 45 with black talon bullets. They better hope that the cops get to them b 4 I do.

Saw the video this morning. I would think that a person his age would be confined to a wheel chair after something like that. I know allot of people wishing him pain. His pain will be felt on his day of judgement.

Does the PM feature not work on CP ????

Little Red Riding Hood is skipping down the road when she sees a big bad wolf crouched down behind a log. "My, what big eyes you have, Mr. Wolf." The wolf jumps up and runs away. Further down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again, and this time he is crouched behind a bush. "My, what big ears you have, Mr. Wolf." Again the wolf jumps up and runs away. About two miles down the road Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again, and this time he is crouched down behind a rock. "My, what big teeth you have, Mr. Wolf." With that the wolf jumps up and screams, "Will you knock it off! I'm trying to poop!!!"

To our fellow Americans: We have given much thought to the values and characteristics that make a great athlete. Our lives have been spent trying to run farther, push further, and jump higher than the person beside us, or across the field of our chosen sport. With years of training and exhaustive competition beneath our belts, we have identified the values necessary to compete and win--values like personal strength, determination, a sense of fair play and faith. The same qualities that make a great athlete make a great President--the determination to do what is right, regardless of the latest polls, the personal strength to bear the weight of the nation on your shoulders, and the faith that a higher power will direct the actions of good people. We see in President Bush these same qualities. In 2001, our nation was attacked without cause or provocation. The President's values saw us through those dark days after the terrorist attack. The economy was rocked by the dual blows of the terrorists' cowardly action and the reckless disregard of the rules by a few rogue executives. But President Bush's decisive, principled leadership has moved America forward, and today our nation is safer and our economy is strong and getting stronger. The fight against terrorism takes decisiveness. It takes continued support for our troops and first responders. But most importantly, it takes courage and inspirational leadership in the White House. In these critical times, our President has had the courage to stand up and do what's right. For that and for his unwavering character, we choose George W. Bush as our President for the next four years. He is a leader we can depend on to make the tough decisions and the right decisions. Please join us in supporting a candidate of courage, President Bush--a leader who backs our troops defending our nation and shares our values. Sincerely,

Let me elaborate for you guys a bit then even though you Libs will either see it as a conspiracy, a lie or to complicated to understand. Actually Kerry is counting on the ignorance of the American people. Perfect example: Have you seen the John Kerry commercial in which George Bush pledges to help Seniors on Medicare and "the very next day imposes a 17% premium increase - the biggest in history"? That ad is a stoke of genius on Kerry's part and will surely gain him many votes among the uninformed. I found it so amazing that I did some homework on the issue. As it turns out the 17% increase was not imposed by President Bush but was mandated by the "balanced budget agreement" signed by President Clinton, voted into law by Senator John Kerry, and was scheduled to come into effect during the Bush administration. President Bush had no authority to reverse what had been voted into law by Senator Kerry during the Clinton administration. So again, Kerry is counting on the ignorance of the American people. Don't be duped by his mendacity. I know I won't. Hope you like that answer better, OBBY
