"Mr. Bush has simply ignored this subject"



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

That was ABC News tonight on the White House's response to today's shocking news that 760,000 pounds of explosives were stolen in Iraq under our very eyes - one pound of which was enough to take Pan Am 103 down over Lockerbie, Scotland. "Mr. Bush has simply ignored this subject."

I can't even believe this. The White House is simply going to ignore the subject. Like nothing happened.

Oh, and get this. The campaign spokesman outright lied about this on CNN this afternoon. She said the explosives were proof of why we needed to invade Iraq. But wait a minute. According to ABC, the UN inspectors had already locked that facility down BEFORE we declared war. This wasn't some rogue facility that no one knew about and Saddam was hiding. It was a facility that THE UN INSPECTORS HAD ALREADY FOUND AND TAKEN CONTROL OF. So how the hell was this a justification for going to war because the inspections weren't working, when in fact, they worked perfectly? The Bush campaign outright lied to CNN, and Judy Woodruff didn't say boo.

ABC also reported tonight that the explosives were in "the largest explosives facility in Iraq." Kind of an obvious place to - what? - put some troops to watch over everything? Put someone, a janitor maybe? Nope. Not a person.
