OCTOBER SURPRISE is in HERE
I know this is a repeat :

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1157376

but this IS the October surprise to 99% of American voters:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/

Some 350 tons of high explosives (RDX and HMX), which were under IAEA seal while Saddam was in power, were looted during the early days of the US occupation. Like so much else, it was just left unguarded.


_____________


This news IS a SURPRISE to most Americans - we MUST get the word out!!!!

Bush has made the world LESS safe, Americans LESS safe and INCREASED terrorism.

1100 American soldiers dead and COUNTING....

2. A US Congressman from Nevada
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 06:48 PM by NVwriter
was telling his buddies around here in May that they had proof that the WMD left for Iran ...now why didn't they let us know this sooner? I think this story here with explosives could be the same WMD the Bushies knew left Iraq for points unknown.

6. Oh gads no
I'm not sure what you mean, but this is nuclear material that's been under IAEA seal for years and years. They've inspected it every single year and it's always been intact. Until the invasion. I'm sure most of us knew in April 2003 they hadn't guarded these facilities, but I guess it coming out now is good too. It is definitely NOT Bush's WMD and we don't want to let the right become convinced it is.

3. in all three debates Kerry said that they left material unguarded
I'm glad the press finally seems to be making something out of this heinous neglect, but it isn't a surprise.

I understand why you are saying it is, but calling it an "October surprise" makes it sound like something that was help back on purpose to influence the election. That's not true.

5. Maybe, but the November surprise will be how the Republicans
fake the computerized votes with Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia because Democrats don't care, can't figure it out or don't have any way to stop it.
