Demand the media report on these missing explosives. WE DESERVE THE TRUTH
I sent off a letter to all the flavors of CNN. Maybe I'll do FOX now, hehe.

Here it is:

I hope CNN gives this story about the missing explosives the attention it deserves.

700,000 pounds of explosives, a pound of which can bring down a plane.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/25/international/middleeast/25bomb.html

Not only was the Bush administration warned about this before the war, they've kept the knowledge from the world all this time. Before the war the stuff was secure. Now it's gone....WHERE??

I think you have a duty to America to make sure this is given full exposure. This represents another gross failure AND dishonesy by omission of a pretty important piece of information.

Thankyou

4. Do not underestimate the ingenity of Rove!
I can almost guarantee he will spin this as "See we told you there were stockpiles there!" The media should not let him get away with that because we knew they were there, and should have been secured, but he will try! I'm not sure the media will question it.

7. These "stoclpiles" were IAEA-monitored and were NOT prohibited weapons
In other words, they were NOT "WMD". And there just ain't no way Rover can try and spin it otherwise.

5. Old news for the rest of the world.
This has been reported on since May 2003. Except by the US State Media.

Nice of the US State Media to catch up 18 months later.

6. No one will pay any price for this...
...who has more than one star -- if military -- or is higher than an assistant secretary -- if civilian.

No on in this administration ever does anything wrong.

It doesn't fit the narrative.

13. No story not fitting the narrative...
...will be carried.

The official narrative is that Kerry lies -- it was so much easier to recycle the 2000 narrative than make a new one up -- and that Junta Boy is (at worst) ill-served by treacherous or incompetent subordinates.

In the press that matters -- TV -- the Al Qa Qaa story is a non-starter.
You can't install a new narrative in ten days.

8. Here is my spin for emails
This damning report solidifies my deep-felt opinion that this administration is incapable of keeping ANY American safe; the citizens here at home or our soldiers in Iraq.
Incompetent, ignorant and deceitful are but a few adjectives to use for the way this administration has conducted it's business.
To allow this huge cache of explosives to be stolen is beyond explanation.
The long list of lies and mistakes leads to only one conclusion...articles of impeachment must be introduced immediately.

15. It seems to be getting legs....but they're not being to inquisitive.
It's coming accross as information that the administration only recently found out about.

Often the most importnat piece of the story is the last paragraph!

The "liberal media"is doing it's best to spare Bush a body-blow. Can't have him losing the race this early, that'd be bad for business.
