380 tons of missing explosives!?!?!?

Nice try folks but there is absolutely nothing definitive that I've seen out there that says this stuff was removed before the invasion. A lot of charge and counter-charge on dates etc. but nothing conclusive.

Even if it was removed prior, that is still gross incompetence by the US. The administration should have been doing much advance planning and that would certainly include satellite reconnaisance wouldn't it? The administration should have been acutely aware of what ordinance and explosive materials were there as it was a monitored site within the country already. So you're telling me that a shitload of Iraqis just happened to sneak in there in the weeks prior to invasion and remove almost 400 tons of explosives without the US realizing it? That's just as bad as if it happened after the invasion because they failed to safeguard it.

If the story proves to be a complete lie, I'll stand up and admit I'm wrong but from what I see, it doesn't matter when the shit was taken away, US incompetence is still the issue.

Refute what I am saying. You telling me my assessment is wrong? Who cares if it's Bush or Clinton or Ronald Reagan. A colossal mistake happened didn't it?
You disagree that a site the US knew to contain explosives and possibly some of those elusive WMD should have been monitored via satellite prior to the invasion? I also still do not see conclusive evidence that this happened before the invasion. There is much material out there suggesting it happened after. I don't know because the political spin masters are in full flight. Either way, I don't care. Gross incompetence either way.

There is no way you can conclude that the explosives were still there..... So whatever your trying to say is stupid. The U.N. reported the weapons in january of 2003, that is the last time anyone laid eyes on them. After the war in May there was nothing there. So anyone saying Bush should have been protecting them is stupid because there was nothing to protect.
Just how were we supposed to stop them from being moved? Please tell me, I would be happy to listen.

Which is it? First it's Bush's fault, now you don't care. Maybe he don't care because he know has been proven to be a idiot. Ah, the liberals continuing to show the intelligence level of sKerry supporters. Boy did the NY Times fuck up this time. 60 mintues was to break the story sunday night three days before the election. Since the times wanted to be the first. It had time to be proven as a anti-bush attack by the liberal media instead of the truth. Which pisses off 60 mintues they wanted to break it sunday so it would maybe influence the election. GODDAMN liberal bias media.

thats easy, we should have done what john kerry has been saying all along and rushed into iraq instead of waiting. bush wasted valueable time and let explosives fall into the hands of terrorists.

LOL LOL
Isn't that the truth?

The problems with the democrats is they are so blinded by partisian ship they don't care about the issues. Their cananidate could confess he was a war criminal and they would still vote for him. Oh wait......
