another MAJOR BLUNDER that will get more of our children killed........:grr:
http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=293513&category=&BCCode=&newsdate=10/25/2004ALAMOGORDO, N.M. -- President Bush is arguing he is the best candidate to keep America safe, while John Kerry's campaign says the administration must answer for the disappearance of hundreds of tons of powerful conventional explosives in Iraq that once played a part in Saddam Hussein's efforts to build a nuclear bomb.
The Bush White House should be held accountable for "what may be the most grave and catastrophic mistake in a tragic series of blunders in Iraq," Kerry senior adviser Joe Lockhart said Monday.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said approximately 350 tons of highly explosive material had disappeared, apparently stolen because of a lack of security at governmental installations.
"How did they fail to secure ... tons of known, deadly explosives despite clear warnings from the International Atomic Energy Agency to do so," Lockhart said.
Kerry was expected to raise the issue on the campaign trail. In Philadelphia, Kerry was joining former President Bill Clinton, making his first public appearance since he had heart surgery a little more than six weeks ago.
The central argument of Bush's re-election campaign is that he can do a better job protecting America than Kerry, and polls show that voters trust Bush more on this issue.
Bush, in an ABC interview broadcast Monday, was asked about the possibility of a terrorist attack on the United States before the election, a threat the administration has repeatedly raised. "We don't have actionable intelligence to say there's an attack, and of course if we did, we'd be moving heaven and earth to stop it," the president said.
Asked in the interview if he has considered the fact that he could lose, Bush replied, "I'm not there yet."
