Soldier is going to say he destroyed 200tons on APRIL 13 video is April 18 |

Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 10:53 AM by jezebel
so they need to find someone who came a little bit later.
Bret Bair said he and his unit removed them April 13, took them up to Baghdad and destroyed them.
This is hilarious, they hope to distract with this, the reporters better be smart and realize whatever they took on the 13th had no bearing on what was on video on the 18th

2. he is going to say he destroyed it? |
|
that is just moronic. if they were going to destroy it why would they cart it off? either they could have lobbed some bombs in there or just blown it up in place.
NO WAY.

the problem with that is the media will not telling anyone this fact and will simply say, "move along, there is nothing to see here anymore."

5. wouldn't there have been a report filed about this? |
|
I mean, why bring up personal testimony. If they're transferring 200 tons of explosives there has to be some written documentation of this transfer, doesn't there?

6. We had better ask for satellite photos of THAT |
|
Blowing 200 tons of explosives would make a BIG boom with a lot of smoke.

One manufacturer in Nevada (of only two plants in US)making above blew up in 1980s and THAT registerd 3.2 in the Richter scale. That was one HELL of an explosion. But 200 tons of HE 'destroyed' would be picked up by every earthquake detector on the planet!

9. It's Time Compression- |
|
Time Compression is a commonly held notion by the Pentagon. They believe that time compresses. For example, time compression allowed for 1953 crash test dummies being used in 1947. Expect a lot more time compression as this story moves along. :eyes:

If it were true, they would've said so right away. What total bullshit.

11. John Kasich (of all people) said this story has already hurt Bush |
|
For Bush to be playing defense this late in the game is not good.

Full Colonel? General? I guarantee this clown gets promoted within the month, if he hasn't been already. The paperwork is in the pipeline.
