This is INSANE. Where is this NBC "report" that all the R's are pushing??

1. It's right there...

...under the Iraqi WMD's and the flower they threw at our feet.

2. I believe they are taking a tiny bit of confusion

and exploding it into an excuse for everything.

From what I understand, 2 weeks before the invasion the IAEA visited the site and confirmed that it was still sealed. Then we invaded, and the first time it was checked, roughly 30 tons of explosives were missing. Now, a year and a half later, ALL of it's gone, and we never committed the troops necessary to secure the facility.

So some of it disappeared between IAEA leaving and our invasion, but then Bush's failure to guard the location allowed the remaining material (90% of the total) to be taken as well.

Far from getting their chimp off the hook, the NBC story changes nothing.

4. Yes, but "they" suddenly includes all of media. What NBC report are they

all referring to?

How can they cite something and draw conclusions from it and not even explain or explore what they're citing?

Is there a report in print or is it just on boob tube so far?

5. You know, it's an odd thing.

CNN had it as their feature story this morning on their web page, but now I can't find it.
