1. Something proven by this thefy of tons of explosive. |

That if their were tons of chemical or biological weapons in Iraq, the insurgency and Al Qaeda may have been able to have stolen it as well.

How can you lose 350 tons of material that are supposed to be under guard?
Think about what it takes to move 350 tons. I believe that would be about 18 loads on a full-size flat bed tractor trailer truck. A high capacity crane would be needed - based upon the photos these explosives were not in small boxes. We have computerized satellite photo systems that can instantly highlight any changes that have occurred between photos. Why didn't anyone notice?
This reminds me of a comment made about the U.S. priorities after Saddam's regime fell. They said that the only thing the U.S. made an effort to protect was the Ministry of Oil.
