http://www.cnn.com/.../iraq.explosives/index.html I believe that we are seeing with the story of the “missing” explosives in Iraq, the first attempt at an October surprise meant to damage the President. If you read this story carefully you will notice that there is no mention of when the explosive disappeared. They were last seen before the US invasion. There is no mention of whether or not the explosives were ever in US custody. The site has not been the responsibility of the US since the June 28 hand over to the Iraqi government. How is this embarrassing for the White House? The report that this is based on is already 15 days old, why is it in all the news outlets today?
http://www.foxnews.com/.../0,2933,136466,00.html Here is a Foxnews version of the story.
http://abcnews.go.com/.../wireStory?id=195620 ABCNews is running the AP version of the story. No new details in this story.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/.../0,,3-1327947,00.html Yet another version of the story.
All other these stories are so incredibly similar and yet no one is really asking the important questions. What percentage of the missing explosives in Iraq does this one site represent – 10%, 20% 100%? Why is the press not lumping this in the same spin as the WMD issue? Maybe Saddam used the explosive to destroy his WMD stock piles after the UN left but before the US troops got there. Maybe he gave the explosives to the al Qiada operatives before the US got to the site. Since no one can say when the stuff was looted how do we know it was looted at all?
Up until today no one gave any thought to how terrorists in Iraq got explosives. They got them by looting military facilities are buying them from someone who has. Does anyone believe that the terrorist manufactured their own explosives? I really think this is a huge non-story

A non-issue? It is until Bush uses the missing explosives to go into Iran. The October Surprise - expand the war into Iran because we want to....
So let me get this straight, Bush needs the excuse of "stolen" high explosives, that any nation can easily purchase, in order to justify an attack on Iran? That is complete crap! The Iranian nuke program is not enough of a justification? There is truely, nothing special about these explosives, other than WHERE they were stored. If thes items had been at a contruction site the IAEA would have never cared. This is a total NOTHING.
I have to agree with Drunken on this one, Why would Bush need to "Steal" weapons to use against Iran??? What the Frick are you thinking???? Comments like this truely show just how little most americans know about our own country & what is going on outside of their own front doors, let alone the rest of the World!
Write on Drunken, Write on!
