Pentagon News Conference is very fuzzy
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 11:37 AM by chum
It looks like a smoke screen to me. The guy is talking about destroying some stuff be doesn't know what or where he destroyed. I think they just rolled him out to to create plausable doubt and confusion.

5. Hell no. They are very aggresively pushing them and are getting
nothing verifiable in return. This is doing absolutely nothing but showing the desperation of the chimp side.

7. No, they're roasting them
their dates don't line up, the soldier says flat out, "I don't know if I ever destroyed any of the HMX in question.".

A piss-poor attempt at a coverup, Not Rove's best work.
