How do you say "My Bad" in Arabic?
Bush has finally responded to the charges that he fucked up and somehow allowed 380 tons of explosives to slip into the hands of terrorists. Oh wait did I say "hands" I meant to say "slip into the FUCKING FLEET OF DUMP TRUCKS of terrorists." I'm still trying to sort that number out in my mind. I looked up the heaviest shit I could think of on the internet. A blue whale weighs between 90 and 150 tons. a Boeing 767 weighs about 200 tons. So if you imagine a really big whale surfing on a jumbo jet you'll get the idea of how much explosive shit we are talking about. In fact I'd be plenty freaked out by plane surfing whale that DOESN'T explode.
So lets look at what our president had to say:
Actually Mr. President, I think the Senator was more surprised at the fact that said weapons were left unguarded for homicidal terrorist assholes to grab at a leasurely pace. But now I'm nit-picking. You say to-may-to, I say to-mat-o
Ok, now the Senator is denigrating our troops and commanders? I looked up denigrate to make sure I had this straight. It means "To attack the character or reputation of; speak ill of; defame." I can't think of a more effective attack on my character than a megaton of high powered explosives. That shit would more than attack my character, it would fucking vaporize it. And I'm not so sure that having Saddam in control of those weapons is such a bad thing. When that motherfucker was in control, nobody touched that shit, those explosives sat in a giant bunker for a decade. And we are worried that he might share them to his "terrorist friends"? Were we so worried that we figured it'd be a better idea to beat him to the punch? I guess you really punk'd him, dogg.
Yeah god forbid we have the kind of President who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts. That kind of president might miss important details, like the proven connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda, or the massive stockpile of Nuclear Weapons in Iraq, or the warm welcome of flowers and sweets awaiting our soldiers. Man that would be a disaster.
So lets look at what our president had to say:
"After repeatedly calling Iraq the wrong war, and a diversion, Senator Kerry this week seemed shocked to learn that Iraq is a dangerous place, full of dangerous weapons..."
Actually Mr. President, I think the Senator was more surprised at the fact that said weapons were left unguarded for homicidal terrorist assholes to grab at a leasurely pace. But now I'm nit-picking. You say to-may-to, I say to-mat-o
"If Senator Kerry had his way... Saddam Hussein would still be in power. He would control those all of those weapons and explosives and could share them with his terrorist friends. Now the senator is making wild charges about missing explosives, when his top foreign policy adviser admits, quote, 'We do not know the facts.' Think about that: The senator is denigrating the actions of our troops and commanders in the field without knowing the facts..."

"Our military is now investigating a number of possible scenarios, including that the explosives may have been moved before our troops even arrived at the site. This investigation is important and it's ongoing. And a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander in chief."

Interesting.
Actually, very strange. Why did they not find these weapons the last time they were there, if they were looted since the war - when we should have been watching them? If we did not see them in March 2003, then is it really our fault that they were looted, considering it would have been before we arrived? Weasel Watcher has a little mention of this, with some links.
"The Qaqaa stockpile went unmonitored from late 1998, when United Nations inspectors left Iraq, to late 2002, when they came back. Upon their return, the inspectors discovered that about 35 tons of HMX were missing. The Iraqis said they had used the explosive mainly in civilian programs."

Good Question, liberty.
I can't say for sure that we are responsible. Maybe Saddam is responsible, maybe it is somehow Alan Alda's fault. All I know is, if our purpose was to prevent weapons of mass destruction from getting into the hands of terrorists, we are making a mess of it. Apparently the Army did NOT search the area when they pased through on the way to Baghdad.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The first U.S. military unit to reach the site in Iraq (news - web sites) where U.N. officials say 377 tons of high explosives are missing did not carry out a hunt for such material, the unit's commander said on Wednesday.
Col. Dave Perkins, then the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Army's 3rd Infantry Division, said the immediate concern when his troops reached the Al Qaqaa site on April 3, 2003, was to defeat a couple of hundred Iraqi troops who were firing from the compound as the Americans surged toward Baghdad.Click HerePut that together with the new NY Times article describing an "Orgy of Theft," at Al Qaqaa in the days following the invasion, and it becomes clear why the White House is being evasive about this.
"Looters stormed the weapons site at Al Qaqaa in the days after American troops swept through the area in early April 2003 on their way to Baghdad, gutting office buildings, carrying off munitions and even dismantling heavy machinery, three Iraqi witnesses and a regional security chief said Wednesday.
The Iraqis described an orgy of theft so extensive that enterprising residents rented their trucks to looters. But some looting was clearly indiscriminate, with people grabbing anything they could find and later heaving unwanted items off the trucks."Click Here
Or perhaps the Russians helped move it into Syria in order to cover up their involvement with Saddam's WMD programs. Explaining why Putin was adamantly against the war, but after we did it suddenly became very friendly...
Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned.
John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, "almost certainly" removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad.
"The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units," Mr. Shaw said. "Their main job was to shred all evidence of any of the contractual arrangements they had with the Iraqis. The others were transportation units."
Mr. Shaw, who was in charge of cataloging the tons of conventional arms provided to Iraq by foreign suppliers, said he recently obtained reliable information on the arms-dispersal program from two European intelligence services that have detailed knowledge of the Russian-Iraqi weapons collaboration.
...Besides their own weapons, the Russians were supplying Saddam with arms made in Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria and other Eastern European nations, he said.
...Defense officials said the Russians can provide information on what happened to the Iraqi weapons and explosives that were transported out of the country. Officials believe the Russians also can explain what happened to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs.
I was hoping you wouldn't fall for the "Russian" theory, which is so convoluted as to be laughable. Just because Sun Myung Moon and Matt Drudge put something in a 150pt font doesn't mean it's true. I guess it's kind of adorable how everyone puts their own reputation on the line in order to protect George W. Bush. Jump on those grenades people they're live.
Here is video evidence that their were explosives when the 101st Airborne, and that it was not secured at the time.
During that trip, members of the 101st Airborne Division showed the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS news crew bunker after bunker of material labelled "explosives." Usually it took just the snap of a bolt cutter to get into the bunkers and see the material identified by the 101st as detonation cords.
"We can stick it in those and make some good bombs." a soldier told our crew.
Soldiers who took a 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew into bunkers on April 18 said some of the boxes uncovered contained proximity fuses.
There were what appeared to be fuses for bombs. They also found bags of material men from the 101st couldn't identify, but box after box was clearly marked "explosive."
In one bunker, there were boxes marked with the name "Al Qaqaa", the munitions plant where tons of explosives allegedly went missing.
Once the doors to the bunkers were opened, they weren't secured. They were left open when the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew and the military went back to their base. Pretty compelling shitAnyway, I would LOVE to see Bush blame the Russians, right after his glowing endorsement for Vladimir Putin.
