Question: Didn't Kerry's lowest poll numbers come on the heels of the TANG memo scandal?

Anyone hear this, hubby said Rush commented on the fact that Kerry mentioned (that ammo dump) in the second debate. How did he know then, what did he know, when did he know, and who told him. Do the dates add up. Smelly that he infers something that just now comes out.


Are we just hearing things?

I would take word of the troops over a reporter anyday.

Unfortunately, I don't think they can speak publicly.


We have heard from the troops already. Several in fact.

YET ANOTHER SERVICEMAN REFUTES THE TIMES ACCOUNT [10/26 05:23 PM]

From yet another Kerry Spot reader with a ".mil" e-mail address:

You are correct in your bottom line conclusion. Here is a second follow up.

I was serving as a [identifying information removed by the Kerry Spot] staff member during the time in question. The Commander on the site had complete real time intelligence on what to expect and possibly find at the Al-QaQaa depot. The ordinance in question was not found when teams were sent in to inspect and secure the area. When this information was relayed, Operational plans were adjusted and the unit moved forward. Had the ordinance in question been discovered, a security team would have been left in place.

MORE FROM A KERRY SPOT READER WHO WAS THERE [10/26 05:07 PM]

More from a Kerry Spot reader with a ".mil" e-mail address, stating he was among the soldiers who secured Al QaQaa on April 10th with the 101st:

I can tell you what happened at my squad level. When we arrived there, humvees with Mark-19's and other mounted weapons immediately secured the parameter with appropriate manpower backup. On the foot level we broke up into squads and went building to building and cleared them; mind you, we couldn't do them all. But we found what had been typical finds, caches of AK-47's, artillery rounds and bullets. There was absolutely no talk of a big find, and what I could sense no worries of anything that should have been there. Of course, we were still worried about the possibilities of chemical weapons but they never panned out.

I am a little perturbed at the gross mischaracterization of what went on there. From what I remember of the NBC crew, they did not go out with us, and they may have in fact been asked to not to go on the search with us, due to the dangers that may have possibily come up. Now this part is my opinion, but don't you think that if they had gone out with us they would have video?

A gentleman sending me e-mail from a ".mil" address writes:

But I was there at Al QaQaa on April 10th with the 101st, I can rest assure you that [NBC producer interviewed on MSNBC earlier today] Lai Ling Jew is lying about it, she seems to be expressing a convenient contrary opinion of the time. The very first thing we do when we move into an area is clear it of any enemy combatants, including going inside warehouses full of ordinance, which we did immediately when we reached there.

Another gentleman sending me e-mail from a ".mil" address writes:

Operational plans in modern warfare are continually rolling and are available to combat commanders in a real time network environment. The original pre-invasion Operation Plans listed the Al-QaQaa weapons depot as a priority security site. After the 101st Airborne Division inspected the site, the security priority was downgraded and the Operational Plan was modified.

Just say Dan Blather reporting on the missing exp. He did NOT point the truth out. They were making a big deal about all the missing weapons all over Iraq. I wish someone would just step on him. Evil or Very Mad

Charles Krauthammer just knocked it out of the park. He shut up the whole panel. He said that those explosives should have already been destroyed by the Atomic Energy Commission according to some armistice agreement. They shouldn't have even been there to begin with....and the Fox reporter Dana (something) said that there were NO weapons there when our troops got there.

This October Surprise has turned to KAKA for Kerry.

BOO YAA. Very Happy

The plagarism was in his Plan for America on his web sight. Word for word except for the words citing his Leadership.
