Major Weapons Stash Found in Iraq (Fox Propaganda Alert)

[Dr Fate]

"U.S. forces discover at least 317 4-foot rockets and 220 anti-tank mines buried south of Baghdad..."

http://www.foxnews.com/

Hmmm, still no sugn of the "tons" of "Nuclear, chemical and biological WMDs" that Bush/media promised we would find and secure...

[xray s]

1. Betcha the anti-tank mines...

...were made in California and have Duracell batteries in them, with expiration dates of Jan 1993.

6. Wouldn't want to bet, but just curious...

how would you hazard that prediction?

[xray s]

Before Gulf War #1...

...I saw a report on CNN that featured a sargeant telling his troops exactly that. He said we knew Hussein had mines made in the US of A because we had the frickin' receipts!! Reagan/Bush sold them to their former "pal".

2. So??

We know the whole place is full of conventional weapons. We probably manufactured half of them. This is the best they can do?

[mainegreen]

3. ?????

What a load of crud

STILL no WMD.

[rustydog]

8. Doesn't matter..They aren't WMD !

And IF they were, it sure as Hell isn't 500 TONS of VX and Sarin gas now isn't it?
When are the reporters from Fox realize they abetted the murder of tens of thousands of innocent civilians and the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers?

Iraq can have tens of thousands of those, they are for "homeland"defense.

But Hannity will be having a circle jerk over this news.

9. But..but...Fox used the word "Major"...MAJOR I say!

Look- over here- there they are- no over here..."MAJOR" weapons! YIKES!!!!

[pansypoo53219]

10. if it ain't anthrax,

nerve gas, or nuclear. they can proclaim all they want.
IT'S STILL NOT WMDs.

[skip fox]

11. Don't get me wrong, I'm with you guys, but

these are the kind of weapons killing US soldiers. That's why it's reported as important.

[niyad]

12. WRONG-- it's reported to give the illusion that there really are WMD's

and that they are bieng found.

[skip fox]

16. I should have said, that's why the story SHOULD be seen as important.

I ain't responsible for Fox's bait-and-switch, but a cache of that size WILL be reported by others and for the correct reason: that these are the weapons used to kill our troops.

I wish we weren't there like most everyone else here, but I certainly don't want more US soldiers (OR Iraqis) killed.

A general in Saddam Hussein`s army was captured today by US soldiers from Fort
Hood`s 4th Infantry Division. Troops also captured ten other suspected "Saddam"
followers in a raid near Hussein`s hometown of Tikrit. Soldiers also uncovered a
weapons cache buried in a farming community. Military officials say six of the men
taken into custody are believed to be involved in guerilla attacks against US troops.
The other four were captured because of the weapons stash.


Just because the likes of Hannity will misuse this information, doesn't mean we can't see it for what it is.

14. During the time it took me to write this post...

An equal amount of weapons has been arranged to replaced this "major" cache. This "report" is red meat for the ditto-monkeys. Nothing more.

(on edit: typo)

[niyad]

13. so, is any outlet other than FAUX carrying this?

[peterh]

uhhh...you be the judge.....

not really....

15. Yes they are WMD's

Weapons of Media Deception.

By Monday all the FAUX sheep will believe that they found the weapons Junior told them they would find.

[snippy]

17. This is a pissant stash of weapons.

There are warlords all over that part of the world who misplace more weapons than this. It is interesting though that the Bush propagandists can't come up with anything better than this.
