told ya so!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,120137,00.html 

It's just propaganda. WE KNOW that the Iraqis couldn't have possessed the stuff. The media has already told us so!

Sorry, figured I'd go ahead and throw the old lefty response to this. You know that's what they're thinkin'.

No, they (the left) will say we (the right) planted it. And or they (the left) will say it's not really a WMD, it's only saron and mustard gas...

The media (except for Fox News) will not even give this any decent coverage. More to come, just wait!

Also, I looked hard but saw conspicuously absent from the post,

1. CNN (Communist News Network)
2. ABC (A Bull$hit Corporation)
3. NBC (No Broadcasting Corporation)
4. CBS (Choc full of BS)

I’m sure most people here get their news from “Ireland Online”…

Robby its been the main headline on my CNN website all day. And as I check, it still is.

dbguru, rub yourself on the back and light a nice cigar for your diligent use of google! I am glad that I was "proven" wrong, but wait and see how Network news plays this one tonite!

Charlie

Pick up USA today, "today" and see if you see anything about the prison yahoos, then see if you see anything about them cutting off that poor guys head (more recent). The prosecution rests...

Robby....
Ireland Online is one of my absolute favorites!!

(great corned beef, mutton, cabbage and potato recipes)
How else could I keep on top of the lastest Guiness chugging contests....)

Don't underestimate the Irish and their incredible contributions to our American culture!!!!
(Conan O'brien, George M. Cohan, Bob Hope, Bill O'Reilly, Al O'Franken....etc. etc.)

nfldraftman, I just went to www.cnn.com and didn't see anything about WMDs or Sarin on the front/top page. Could you post the link?

I was going to post the differences in how the media is covering this, but it seems you all beat me to it. Notice CNN's lack of coverage:

Fox News: Front page story, primary link
Headline: "Chemical Weapons Found in Iraq"

CNN News: Not Covered
Headline "N/A"

NY Times: Small link near bottom of page
Headline "Sarin Shell Is Found by U.S. Forces in Iraq"

CBS News: Small link towards top of page
Headline: "Iraq Sarin Find Worries U.S."

Isn't it strange that this shell just happened to turn up after Rumsfeld's visit to Iraq the other day? I'm sure he's the one that planted it in an effort to divert attention from the prison abuse scandal.


You have to watch those damn Republicans....

So Sylance....
I notice CNN's lack of coverage at the current moment as well. What is your assertion as to why this is so?

Well you know me; I'm a ‘neo-con’ so of course I'm thinking it's a liberal bias. However, to be serious I'm not really sure what's going on. To me the NY Times is way more liberal biased than CNN and even they're carrying it. On the other hand when Saddam was captured CNN decided to cover a Collage Football story instead.

I know there’s a perception out there that if you carry any material that justifies the US being in Iraq it means you ‘support’ the war and therefore support Bush. To me that’s just crazy… tell all the stories out there.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the real story is…

I have it on Clinton News Network right now. Just watched Judy Woodward interview the Chair of the GOP. She was somewhat vicious and asked closed and hostile questions. Also, I'm waiting patiently for coverage on WMDs in Iraq, however, I do not believe it will be fourth coming unless it is absolutely unavoidable for them to do so. They are CLEARLY dedicated to the reinstatment of Democrat control of the house, senate, and the executive branch... Clearly.

All I can say is now I'm thoroughly confused. A lot of people here have stated for fact that Iraq had NONE of these. Now we found two. I don't know what to think anymore, told one thing then finding out the opposite is true.

I think I need a beer, maybe that will help me understand?!

Sylance..
I have grown to respect your opinion even though we often don't agree on political things (I'm sure the story is much different when it comes to more important matters like cigars)

I'm interested to see what CNN comes up with on this story. Why can't journalists just cover the news in a more unbiased way and let us all make are own opinions. I have often had similar questions about why Fox doesn't cover certain things.

Um, isn't it 1 little shell. That doesn't sound like "Mass" destruction to me. We know they used these against Iran and others. That's no secret. To find a few lying around is almost guaranteed.

Sorry guys. I really hope they do find the WMD, but this is reaching a bit, IMHO.
