Missing Boom Boom!

377 Thousand tons of explosives missing in Iraq at the al Qaqaa munitions compound. Once again the Bush administration is claiming that it's someone else's fault - or maybe they were "already gone before we got there".

Such a short memory they have. KSP-TV in Minneapolis, an ABC affiliate, aired film their reporter shot on April 3rd from inside the compound with American soldiers. The film shows the bunkers full of the now missing explosives. The 3rd U.S. Army left the compound unguarded, as apparently directed by higher command. By May the explosives were missing.

That "hurry up" offense was devised and implemented by the Defense Department with the full approval of the White House. Sorry George, but the buck stops with you.
