Its not JUST the 350 tons of high explosive.

Every military weapons dump in Iraq was looted.

Where do you think all these RPGs, anti-aircraft missiles and mortar rounds have come from?

This goes WAY beyond the one site.

important of all -- that these a**holes placed and continue to place America's young men and women as well as other countries youth in harm's way. plus killing and maiming Iraqis.

unbelievable. the arrogance. the rigidity. the fixation. the obsession. the irrationalities.

WAKE UP, AMERICA! Bush is unfit to serve.

on edit to add: that's 350 tons of explosives, that's 2,000 pounds per ton times 350 tons = SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS of EXPLOSIVES (700,000 lbs.) !! Can you visualize this? How many pounds per car bomb? How many pounds per building? How many pounds per suicide murder? This goes beyond the *humor* of "fuzzy math" that Dumbya alleges. This is incompetence. This is unfit for office. This is VOTE OUT George W. Bush and Company.

So... we have to assume that they were unable to secure the site, or unwilling. Either scenario is just bizarre, 350 TONS?

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

Nice to meet you.

I seem to recall reading, perhaps even on this site, that Saddam et al had spent the months if not years before the invasion stashing various "small" arms (i.e. machine guns, explosives, RPGs, shoulder-fired SAMs and the like) so that once the Americans attacked and won the first phase, they'd have the wherewithal to fight back in a style nearly identical to that of the current group of insurgents.

Takes a whole lot of work to load a truck this big.

around the country. This was planned IMO. Bush is one sick bastard for letting these get to the "terrorists".

in order to drum up support for the war.

Terrorists + explosives = rationale for MORE war

Same story, nuclear sites sealed and under the watch of the IAEA left unattended after the invasion. Now there are stocks of uranium, cesium, strontium, and the like gone. Real WMD disbursed into the black market by Rummy's war-on-the-cheap.

This one has!

If he would have won Iraq too quickly he would have nothing to distract US voters.

& the Iraqis are using all their oil profits to pay for the reconstruction! /sarcasm off

oh, wait a minute...

Damn those reality-based liberals!
