Who has the capacity and access to loot those weapons?

[shance]

Considering that Iraq is an occupied territory by the U.S., and thousands upon thousands of Iraqi men have disappeared and been imprisoned, and that apparently this weapon artillery holding area Al Qua Qua is about 30 miles south of Baghdad, who could have the volume of trucks, the moving equipment, the manpower and the access to extract all those massive units of weaponry?

Enough ammunition to kill 205 million people (ie. a NATION) wasnt in some hay barn waiting to be picked up by the kids down the road.

"Looting" is a bit of an understatement, and seems a term to intentionally down play this deal. Why?

Lots of questions.

1. Iran? Syria? North Korean ninjas?

4. How do they *loot* in a war zone??

How do they get access when the US is occupying it.

How many huge truck loads do they have to get back over the lines WITHOUT being caught? 50-sixty? THAT's before thinking somehow they have to have access. Again, I have a hard time thinking that explosives that can kill 205 million people had a "Loot Me" sign on it.

Doesnt have any substantial creedence in my book.

2. Looting 380 tons does seem a bit absurd.

Is it, uh, possible. . . bear with me here. . . that we sold it? Specificly, to the people that use it against us now? Not that we have any kind of history of selling weapons to nations like Iran or Iraq.

3. The insurgency was a pre-planned trap that we stumbled into

Our speedy "victory" was like Napoleon barreling into Russia.

(One more down-side to an administration where nobody reads)

5. Chalabi?

He would seem to have had the operational capability to move this stuff.....could he be in on it? If so, it may well be in Iran now.

6. The weaponry is a veritable gold mine.

This weaponry could knock out a country, therefore it could conquer a country.

questions to consider:

How much is the weaponry worth?

Who has the easiest and best access to those weapons?

Who has easy access into, around, and out of Iraq?

Who has the capacity to move the weapons into other well guarded facilities?

How about WHEN it can be done? The timing? When could this huge mass transport occur?

There were guards who have been checking every, single car at multiple check points multiple times during the day in Iraq. Why were they not stopping these trucks?

7. Tens of millions of dollars on the LEGAL market(nt)

8. Seems like it would be more than that.

Perhaps thats alot, but it seems like it would be worth more.
