Faux News Alert: Soldier to say he removed 200 tons of AlQaqaa explosives

[maddezmom]

Pentagon to hold a news conference at 12pm EST. Perfect timing...:eyes:

Yes I was watching cuz, Kerry was speaking and no one else was covering

edited to add time of press conference

[russian33]

1. Must be a strong guy...carried it all out by himself?

Or were there Russians helping him? Or maybe Bill Clinton?

[maddezmom]

2. now I want to see rummy's satellite photo's of the removal

[Divine Discontent]

8. funny!

they love making up news.


"his mistakes and misjudgements, have hurt our troops, have put our troops at greater risk, have driven away our allies, and taken away our focus on Osama Bin Laden and the REAL war on terror, and that's just ABROAD!" Kerry, in Orlando 11:35 AM

[displacedtexan]

39. What about the video of the IAEA seals (April 18th)? Under Order?

How will this soldier explain that?

And was that soldier ordered to remove those explosives?

Did he steal them and put his buddies in jeopardy?

[Cush]

3. was this before or after they were smuggled out

through the airvents by Russia & Syria?

[Supersedeas]

4. but but but Rummi said that they must have been removed before b/c

any movement afterward...he would have detected.

Odd, strong and stealthy soldier produced by Faux.

[htuttle]

5. So did HE sneak them out of the air vents?

How did he get passed the seals? Or is he saying he was there AFTER the US military found the explosives, broke the seals, then left them to the looters?

[MidwestTransplant]

6. An Iraqi soldier?

[Fleshdancer]

10. That's my question too...soldier for which country? n/t

[KansDem]

16. Yeah...with an American accent. (eom)

[wishlist]

7. Repubs/Pentagon already speculated it would take 70 or 80 trucks!!!!!!!!!

They have already claimed to know nothing about how the stuff disappeared, speculating it was gone before we invaded. Flip-Flop

[EagleEye]

9. Nothing of Faux Web-site

[maddezmom]

15. Brent Bayer reported...and they are doing another alert NOW.

check in a while, bet something will be there

[Fleshdancer]

17. Are they reporting that a US soldier moved them? n/t

[maddezmom]

22. they are reporting they have located a soldier that was responsible for

removing and taking them to baghdad.....

My Faux Alert, is word for word what they had running during the alert.

[still_one]

11. must have been john o'neill

[chuckhoward]

12. Wouldn't you think...

...that there would be some paperwork or chain of custody documentation that the Pentagon could just whip out and say, "look, here is a complete accounting of everything we found." NOT!!!

[Quadrajet]

38. Rove is fabricating the paperwork as we type.

"Wouldn't you think...that there would be some paperwork or chain of custody documentation that the Pentagon could just whip out and say, "look, here is a complete accounting of everything we found." NOT!!!"

Yes, exactly! This is total bullshit...Rove is fabricating the paperwork as we type.

[mac56]

13. Even if this is true...

that's probably about half of the explosives. Where are the rest? And why couldn't they account for it immediately?

I call bullshit.

[trotsky]

14. What a riot.

As each excuse gets shot down, a new one arises to take its place.

And yet the "liberal media" never calls them on the deception. Give me a break!

[Born_A_Truman]

28. How many stories are out there?

I can't keep up with them all!

Now some soldier is supposedly going to be at a PC about moving them.
Our soldier?

What happened to the Russians?

Where are they?

How about the Pentagon photos?

Condi?

Rummy?

[maddezmom]

36. someone needs to do a timeline of all the WH and Pentagon excuses

before they get scrubbed

[Hand]

18. "A soldier removed 200 tons of explosives..."

"...yeah... that's it. And... and the Russians removed the rest. Yeah... except the French removed some, too. Yeah... that's it."

:evilgrin:

ON EDIT: Well, this would be funny if a) it weren't so fucking pathetic; b) people weren't dying behind it.

[mac56]

23. I thought of Jon Lovitz too.

"Yeah...that's the ticket..."

[Philostopher]

19. Okay, even if this is true ...

they didn't jump right on it with this fable when the information came out because ...

[sonicx]

20. ONE soldier?

LOL

[Kadie]

43. One very strong and dedicated soldier.

Sounds like a lot of work for one person doesn't it.

How long do you think it took him?

[Goldmund]

21. Their whole claim has revolved around the explosives...

...not being there when the troops invaded.

Now that they have been busted lying, this is the only way they can go -- "OK, they were there, but we removed them". It's absolutely hillarious.

[Dhalgren]

41. Ok...so some "soldier" moved the explosives...

Where are they now? The IAEA would probably be able to tell you if these are the same explosives or not - so let them have a look. That is, if you can tell us where they currently are...

[LeftHander]

24. Smuggled out under orders contractors...

More likely...

I still think that profiteering is envolved here....

Someone decided they could re-sell this material back to the U.S.....

Halliburton...

Catch-22 type crap going here....

[wryter2000]

25. Okay....

So, where did he hide them?

Lord, I hope this one blows up in their faces, too.

[ogradda]

26. i don't see it on any other channels yet

election quick fix i bet.

[carolinalady]

27. You know for a group that claims to "support the troups"

The Bushies never hesitate to point the finger at the soldiers--abu ghraib a fine example.
When are the soldiers families going to see the real truth?

[mac56]

29. Welcome, carolinalady!

Excellent point.

[GregD]

30. CNN has this too

[AndrewJacksonFaction]

31. This BS!! If the unit moved them...........

then they should have accounted for them!!! They would know exactly where they were! Such a smoke screen even I am starting cough.

[Wat_Tyler]

32. Too late, it's Friday, the news-hole.

[Bonhomme Richard]

33. I was shocked that they didn't just say this...............

in the very beginning. It's easy enough to make up.

[juliagoolia]

34. TIME TO PUT ON OUR INVESTIGATIVE HATS

JOHN .............
We have your BACK!

[Roland99]

35. Explosives gone for 18 months...then...in mere days...they find the guy?

BULLSHIT!

[carolinalady]

42. how come it took five days for this guy to remember?

need to check out status and connections of the soldier. They probably figure they can keep the connections buried until Wednesday. If it was a military organized effort the CO would have spoken up immediately. The more mud they sling the more I wonder how big this is. For example I remember even Fox showing weapons stockpiles on the trip to Baghdad. How many of those sites were looted? Why is the press not delving further beyond this one site? It has already been proven that the Pentagon lied about this site.

[HerbieHeadhunter]

37. I guess they are off the "Russia took it" explanation....

and moving on to explanation number 10.

My God, how many explanations are they going to throw around about this????? The fact that they are scrambling around throwing whatever will stick to explain this scandal is a scandal in and of itself.

[indie_voter]

40. Then what happened to them?

This is ludicrious and makes them look even more desperate.

Let's see...

First it was Saddam. Then it was the Russians. Then they dusted off those satallite photos. Now they remember, it was a soldier who moved it.

Okay, so now where are they? Did they get lost in Baghdad?

44. Lock

until the actual event happens, then a poster can post an article with a link.

GO to other DU forums to speculate on this event until it happens.
