The missing explosive issue hurt Kerry; he jumped on this story too quickly and made it a huge issue when after the fact it will become a non-issue. 377 tons minus 250? This may have been a great "move" or "leak" out of 1400. Expect more on Sunday-Monday. Kerry is a decent guy but his team made a wrong decision on making this a talking point. This may have been a Mary Mapes grasp for a job before she gets canned at CBS....anyway it was the last thing he needed.
Unfortunately, the last thing our country needs is thousands of lawyers from both parties trying to intimidate voters and eventually, contesting the outcome of this election...
There is no way this election will be decided next week or for that matter by the end of this calender year...
Any you can take that to the bank!!!
THE SHRINK

You got fooled by the Pentagon doing political spin (instead of its real job).
The 250 tons were normal munitions (like artillery shells and some regular explosives) taken on April 13, 2003.
However, on April 18, 2003 (five days later, for the math challenged), a NBC news crew filmed US soldiers opening SEALED bunkers containing the special high explosives in question. The soldiers went on to some other mission, without securing the explosives.
In May, the explosives had disappeared.
The Bush administration has been trying to pretend that Saddam "may" have taken these explosives before the US arrived (i.e. It wasn't our fault.) However, the NBC tape PROVES that the sealed explosives were there after Bagdad fell and we were in charge.
The Pentagon also trotted out some satellite photos of the bunker complex showing a few trucks there in March, as if Saddam took the stuff before US troops arrived.
The April 18th tape proves every excuse by Bush on this subject has been a lie,
distortion or misdirection. It all comes down to not having enough troops to invade and secure the country.
Bye. Bye. Bush.

I really think Kerry wins. The press keeps reporting that Bush is ahead in the polls by around 4 to 5 percent. All this does is encourage people who are Kerry supporters that may or may not vote, to go out there and vote. And on the other side, Bush supporters are less likely to go to the polls because they're expected to win. They're vote is not as important.
Anyone agree with my insane logic?

Tony, one thing I can tell you is that every Republican that I know has stated to me that he or she is voting for sure so that what happened in Florida last time is'nt even a remote possibiity again. I work with Republican campaigns in Texas and our sharps are telling us that the Republican ticket should win by 3 percentage points nationwide as a whole.
What the hell, I need some more tax breaks anyway... cause I'm already wealthy and fat like a pig in $hit... Also got my 5% foreign corporate tax rate approved by Congress! Life just keeps gettin' better.

I just can't understand how this election is even close. Maybe I am the blind one, but I just dotn understand how anyone can still support this president. Kerry should be winning in a landslide based on Bush's performance the last 4 years..
Here is why I think Kerry has a decent shot at winning:
--As close as 2000 was, can you imagine a single person who voted for Gore that wont vote for Kerry?
-- There are plenty of people that voted for Bush in 2000 that have switched, I know 7 people myself.
-- Democrats/Indy's who voted for Nader last time, realize the ramifications of voting Nader.. thus I think any votes Nader loses this time.. which is said to be around 2.5 percent less.. the vast majority fo them will be going Kerrys way

I believe "most", not all, individuals vote their pocketbooks. There are many issues that are on the "elephant flatform" that I simply disagree with; however, I do not like tax and spend democratic logic. I am in that top 2%, therefore, I will wholeheartedly support the "Bushman" and his cronies...
