Kerry months ahead on ammo dumps!

[dzoner]

Last spring while in his hour on Chris Matthews show, Kerry made a big point about ammo dumps being left unguarded all over Iraq and how Bush, up to that time, was ignoring the problem. That scene would now look great if Matthews would replay it in lieu of current news. I have sent a e-mail. Any thought of a major e-mail campaign suggesting he replay it. I suggested that would go a long way to get me back as a viewer having stopped watching MSNBC b/c of their unfair debate panels.

1. If he does not replay this

Matthews should be hung upside down and filled with GWB's feces. Oh, wait, that happened already?

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

Please?

[salinen]

5. Didn't he complain about it during one of the debates as well? (NM)

[dzoner]

8. Debate

Would be nice to combine both, shows one man thinks w/o flip flopping and the other, who is in charge, just bungles along.

15. The Debate Statement from Kerry

That's exactly where we find ourselves today. There's a sense of American occupation. The only building that was guarded when the troops when into Baghdad was the oil ministry. We didn't guard the nuclear facilities.

KERRY: We didn't guard the foreign office, where you might have found information about weapons of mass destruction. We didn't guard the borders.

Almost every step of the way, our troops have been left on these extraordinarily difficult missions. I know what it's like to go out on one of those missions when you don't know what's around the corner.

16. Even better, from Debate 2:

KERRY: ...A president's job is to win the peace.

The president did not do what was necessary. Didn't bring in enough nation. Didn't deliver the help. Didn't close off the borders. Didn't even guard the ammo dumps. And now our kids are being killed with ammos right out of that dump.

17. From Global Security ~ John Kerry speech given on 9/30/2003 !!

http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/iraq/2003/09/030930-kerry.htm

Remarks by Senator John Kerry: Winning the Peace in Iraq

This Administration’s brazen, go-it-alone policy has placed our soldiers at needless risk and our hopes for success in jeopardy. It has given al Qaeda an opening in Iraq – and made Iraq a recruiting poster for terrorists of the future. It has undermined America’s legitimacy with our own people, our allies abroad, and the Iraqis. And it has left them wondering when they will get their country back.

For months, there have been warnings about Iraq’s stockpiles of munitions. Three weeks ago, the Pentagon assured Americans those weapons were secure. Today we learn they are not – 650,000 tons of ammunition – unguarded and uncontrolled.

This Administration’s arrogance was so deep they even ignored the warnings of their own CIA experts in Iraq and carelessly disbanded the Iraqi army – resulting in 350,000 angry Iraqis roaming the country – without a paycheck and with guns.

To ignore the CIA is one thing. To undermine our intelligence efforts and to risk the lives of our agents is beyond the pale and unacceptable. We learned in the last days the extent to which someone in a powerful position in his Administration, bent on revenge, endangered Ambassador Joe Wilson’s wife because her husband had committed the great crime of telling the truth. Outing a CIA agent endangers lives, threatens national security and breaks faith with those who put their lives on the line to protect this country. It is outrageous that the President who campaigned with a promise to restore integrity to the White House refuses to get to the bottom of this. President Bush’s father called those who expose the names of national security sources “traitors.” And this President Bush needs to start going after any traitors in his midst – and that means more than an inside once-over from his friend – and Karl Rove’s client – John Ashcroft.

Blast this shit to the media folks!

Perhaps we need a thread gathering info/statements from Kerry on this - then we can blast it? What say you all?

[mzmolly]

18. BLAST THIS STUFF GUYS. Dig up info (google) and blast it to the media.

:hi:

John Kerry has a media blaster, but you must register first:

19. Great idea to get this out and to ask Kerry campaign to bring this up too.

Shows that Kerry is a thinking man and not a puppet.
