Missing explosives = LIHOP. They were warned. yet did nothing.

The significance of this derilection of duty is beyond partisan politics. It is downright terrifying. No, I'm not wearing foil. They damn well knew about this stash yet did nothing to secure it. What, is this rapture related? I'm scared.

2. Screw the weapons, is the oil still guarded?

3. Never about the WMDs

I think this is the final proof that this war was NEVER about WMDs.

Those explosives were the closest thing Iraq had to WMDs (they could be used to trigger nukes) and they were left unguarded, even though we knew they existed.

No excuse.

5. Bush won't be toast over this. Most people will shrug it off as WMD Found

and it's too close to the election for Bush to be made toast by anything other than an overwhelming vote by all of us to get him OUT!!! and his baggage with him.

6. Then I'm voting and giving up on reality. I mean screw it. Better off

just figuring out how to make a gillion dollars and effect politics a la Soros.
