teryt, Explosives under lock and key or explosives you don't know where the hell they are, which would you rather have? Saddam had kept them there for years and then GWB and crew lose track of them in no time at all. Cut it anyway you want and this is a MAJOR screwup, it happened on GWB's watch, and goes to the way the war was and is being run, poorly with bad management. |

Seems that now, this is only YOUR opinion. Even Kerry will have to back off this - or suffer more credibility issues. But Oh Yeah, it's ends justifies the means with T minus 5 days. |

And this wasn't caught and followed up by GWB and crew because????? A known facility with vital connections to a nuclear weapons program not being watched????? Cut it any way you want and bring in all the "pros from Dover" you want, the explosives are gone and it happened on GWB's watch. Poor management, poor planning, poor control and supervision, all go up the chain to the top! Not doing the job gets you fired, maybe should be even worse in this case, malfeasance somewhere in the chain. |

OPPS! We rushed to a conclusion, without a plan to retract the foot from our mouth. (But we have a plan to make a plan - baring unforeseen plans.) ABC News Story

Corky - What will you say if the reports that say that the stuff was gone BEFORE THE WAR ring true?

It's still at large somewhere and GWB and crew were on watch at the time. If it was being moved how come they missed it? Still all goes back to poor management and control. If they'd know they would have made hay from it, part of Saddam's program to make WMDs. |

OIC - What yer saying is Bush was in office, but before boots had hit the ground. Right? So doesn't that show evidence towards the idea of WMDs there? |

teryt, All it show at this point is that 300 and some odd tons of dual use explosives that we knew the location of are no long in a known location and that it was on GWB's watch that we lost track of them. Were the stolen and sold to ?????, are they in the hands of AQ as part of their nuclear project, did they go to Iran? Where have they gone and why is this just now surfacing???? Control of nuclear precursors from a known store being lost is a very serious business? |

For some reason that shipment of missiles from N. Korea to Yemen that was intercepted prior to the war, but still allowed to be delivered popped to the front of my mind on hearing this news. |

The best explanation is the one that accounts for all the facts. Explosives missing. The kind used in terrorist bombings. Obviously, some cause for concern on everyone's parts with our soldiers there. An embedded reporter saying the military inspected and found nothing, other embeddeds saying the military did not. No comment from the military? Surely.... Inspectors and Iraqis claiming the exposives were not missing right up to invation. Speculation of Russian troops in the area. Should we then add one more to the coalition? In an election year the Kerry camp playing it up and the Bush camp playing it down. The White House knew earlier, why'd they wait for the press to break the story? What are the other facts? The best explanation is the one that accounts for all the facts? Well, an explanation based on reason would demand that, one on faith not necessarily. |

RE: Russian troops in the area At the very early stages wasn't there some talk about a large Russian convoy? I think I remember some of us speculating on them skirting Saddam or some WMD out of the region. |
