"If it were up to Kerry, those explosives would be under Saddam's control"
I've heard so many Republicans surrogates make that argument, and not a single Democratic surrogate or so-called journalist has called them on this.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't these explosives under UN control? Weren't these sites being monitored and guarded by the UN? Didn't the UN warn the US before pulling out that the the US would need to safeguard these sites?
3. No they were under Saddam's control. The UN was monitoring them so Saddam
could not use them. However, those weapons never left Saddam's control because no Iraqi would dare touch them and he was not going to give them to anybody else.
