It is doubtful the International Media would coverup for the Bush Admin.

I remain highly skeptical about the OP's story. The reputable News Media have only reported that the attack actually occured and that Ammo/Fuel had been destroyed. Only the OP's website and other websites(flaky ones) using the OP's website as a source report the casualties. I did a random search of various names from the alleged Casualty list and only came across results that reffered back to the OP's questionable article. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual names on the casualty list are not even authentic.

 

[palehorse]

in entire story, including the casualty list, is fake.

trollbait.

GG!

Islamist propaganda they also say we have 25000+ deaths and Bush is hiding them all. If Bush were such a criminal genius he would have planted WMD everywhere and made liberals and media STFU a long time ago. Media is no freind to this administration anyone who says otherwise is deluded they would'nt hide this.

Uh, No.

The U.S. army has reported that an 82mm mortar hit the ammo dump and started multiple explosions throughout the night.

If there were 300 people hurt, as the OP claims and the military is going around saying no injuries then there will be hell to pay.

I highly doubt the OP and the 300 killed or hurt.
We should all know the cover up is often worse than the crime.

And the billion $ claim seems WAY high for an ammo dump.

Read in the original article: Almost the ENTIRE supply of Small-arms ammo

Dear god...that is BAD. No MG, Rifle, pistol or grenade ammo?!?

Right before an election? Of course you won't see it on the nightly news. I hear that plenty of people are quietly observing canaries whisper on the wind something about how Iraq is Vietnam reloaded. Rumsfeld and Cheney know all about those days. In fact, they were part of the damned elitist movement our East to dream up the idea that our United States is an imperialistic empire ready to sit on some imaginary world leadership throne.

This news is just terrible if even 30 people died in such an attack.

Ditto what Sand said.

I'm skeptical the more I look into it. None of those enlisted casaulties from the army seem to show up in the registry of enlisted personnel. They never existed. It would take a massive coverup way bigger than any other in the military's history to fabricate this cover.

Just out of curiosity, what "registry of enlisted personnel" are you consulting? I would have thought this information was protected by the Privacy Act.

Agreed, Where are these satellite photos? I am not saying that there was not significant damage from the attack. It seems though that this is getting spun from both sides.

Its a directory hosted on a .mil system.

Yeah, but what is it, and who has access to it? When I was in the AF I could look up most AF members on the global e-mail system, but that wouldn't typically work when they were deployed. We never had any kind of complete personnel roster that was available to anyone but personnelists.

I'm not saying this roster doesn't exist, I'm just curious about it.

It can still be fragmented at times but agencies like Defense Manpower Data Center provide DoD members with listings, AF crossroads/AF portal has lookup information. I am not sure what the Army has.

The ammo dump should have been in dirt covered, half sunken bunkers. The picture shows a line of shipping containers, I wonder who will be blamed for this mess.

 

[LunarRay]

Well... The US Military said it occurred... the only issue is the amount of damage and deaths or injured and who they may have been or be..

Some where between 0$ and 2billion$ and no deaths or injuries incurred to many of each....

Wonder what was burning and exploding in that video and if it is related to the event?

Well for sure Bush is now backing out of the war. He just has to try to find a way to do it with as much of the tiny amount of grace that he will be able to. We have lost and he knows it.

The real reason is bushy boy has maxed out his credit card.... The american people arn't gonna vote in another 100billion for his little walk in the middle east... He knows he is tapped out and his approval rattings are in the gutter for support in Iraq. If he could swing the cash he would still be in there wasting money and lives....

Sigh... What a joke

Some here would still claim it was just terrorist propaganda if Bush himself would announce it on Fox News... They'll simply whine that every single newssource reporting bad news is anti-American.

Look what I found on Fox News:
And more terrorist propaganda, never knew they had infiltrated the US that far!

1) that video was NOT of this incident as it was uploaded last January. duh.
2) not-a-newsflash: Ammo dumps and POL storage areas get hit from time to time. GG Insurgents! even they can get "lucky" sometimes... that said, it's also not unusual for LEP's to give the enemy a layout of the base after working on one.
3) the entire casualty list in the OP is fake.
4) some of you need more tinfoil.

This may suprise you, but ammunition explodes when it is hit by other ammunition. Shocking as it may be, but stuff full of explosives actually explodes when set on fire.

I wonder if the OP is the same person who tried the same article on the Something Awful forums last night, but was laughed out of the forums. Of course that person claimed it was a tactical nuke being kept at a base. Which makes sense for the large number of a our ground vehicles that use nuclear weapons. Must be our stock of nuclear handgrenades.
Some people, I swear.

 

[fitzov]

OP needs to cite sources.

The fact remains that you claimed that the attack never occured, even though the military confirmed it had.
