Forgive if this has been posted already...
I was very curious to read this today:
“Then on Tuesday Miklaszewski provided more details. He reported that the 101st airborne troops "were not actively involved in the search for any weapons" and that, given the size of the Al Qaqaa facility, it's unclear if the 101st was "near the bunkers that reportedly contained the HMX and RDX." But he went on to say that "in March, shortly before the war began, the [International Atomic Energy Agency] conducted another inspection and … inspectors were unable to inspect the RDX stockpile and could not verify that the RDX was still at the compound." It seems some of the missing materials were moved even before Americans set foot in Iraq - right under the UN's nose! Pentagon officials have speculated that Saddam could have ordered the materials moved before the invasion by coalition forces.”

Hugh Hewitt's take:
"as the Manhattan elites try and fail miserably to help Kerry recover a momentum he never had to gain a job he could never do."

"I think it is backlash time. And not just against the New York Times, CBS, and MSM generally, but against Soros, Michael Moore, and the MoveOn crowd; against screaming demonstrators and troop bashing tenureds; against the French."

"If Kerry had a shred of decency, he would apologize to the troops that passed through and searched the munitions comnplex. He doesn't, so he won't. But the American electorate will know. He could lose 45 states. Try spinning a savage and unmerited assault on the competence of the much beloved American military. Someone forgot to tell John Kerry that it isn't 1971, and the Genghis Khan stuff doesn't fly anymore."

International Atomic Energy Agency wouldn't verify the time of day if they thought it would help America. They're just another UN group with an anti-American fixation.
The US should suspend all monetary support for the UN and its henchmen and boot them off the prime Manhattan real estate that they've been squatting on for the past half century or more.

I believe that the NYTimes left the March 13, 2001 trip by the IAEA out of it's timeline, but it was in the Boston Globe's.

Odd.....
