The Missing Explosives


Could these be them? [They aren't 100% sure yet but...]


Bush is toast. His number is up. The Pentagon is now no longer toeing the line. Bush has passed his last buck.
A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew in Iraq shortly after the fall of Saddam Hussein was in the area where tons of explosives disappeared, and may have videotaped some of those weapons.

During that trip, members of the 101st Airborne Division showed the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS news crew bunker after bunker of material labelled "explosives." Usually it took just the snap of a bolt cutter to get into the bunkers and see the material identified by the 101st as detonation cords.

Once the doors to the bunkers were opened, they weren't secured. They were left open when the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew and the military went back to their base.

"We weren't quite sure what were looking at, but we saw so much of it and it didn't appear that this was being secured in any way," said photojournalist Joe Caffrey. "It was several miles away from where military people were staying in their tents".

Bush does not depend on pentagon votes...
He is allowed by law to out and out lie about his programs. And then there are the people that "believe": we need a new word. Something like "ultra belief"... to allow a person to use the word "belief" and mask a mindless, hedonistic willingness to follow and support: that ain't "belief": shit, I don't believe in my kids that much. Actually, I'd be a pretty shitty father and my opinion wouldn't be worth shit.
My kids surely believe in me: but they damn well know where I fall short and they call me on it. I depend on their honesty: who else cares enough to be honest?

Again you are displaying your abysmal lack of understanding about things military. As a civilian, you obviously have no understanding what Det cord is, but I can tell you for a fact that it is not the explosives in question. Det cord is used to connected physically separated charges. Here's a little primer (no pun intended) for your edification. A quote of note from that source:

...Creating a slipknot from detonating cord yields a field-improvisable device that can be quickly employed to cut a locked doorknob off of a door. Anything much more substantial than these uses requires the use of additional explosives.

This is not the big scary explosives that you think! Perhaps you ought to leave the military commentary to those who are informed on the subject matter.

G-man. I know Obiwan Kenobi, you're no Obiwan Kenobi. Maybe you should keep abreast of what's going on.

So tell me your partisan stooge, when did you serve? How many times have you handled det cord or C4 for that matter? Attempting to pass yourself off as being "in the know" only highlights how very little you do know!
