Missing Iraqi explosives hound US election campaign trail

"George Bush has not offered a single word of explanation ... he failed to secure Iraq and keep it from becoming what it is today -- a haven for terrorists," Kerry later said in a speech in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

While Bush avoided the controversy over the disappearance of 350 tonnes of high explosives in Iraq, his Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld downplayed the report by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

"It is not at all clear that those explosives were even at the weapons facility when our troops arrived in the area of Baghdad. John Kerry doesn't mention that," Cheney said at a rally in Pensacola, Florida.

"Do you remember when the museum - everyone said the museum was looted?" Rumsfeld said in an interview with a Cincinnati, Ohio, radio station, comparing the missing explosives to reports about massive looting at Iraq's national museum after the start of the war, which later proved to be exaggerated.

1. Rumsfeld is part of the neo-conservative dominionist movement.....

...and will say anything to distract attention from what is really going on.

7. The problem for Rummie is that we knew about these sites

and isn't like there were that many of them or that they would be so hard to secure. He was just much more worried about securing his precious oil fields.

8. The Cradle of Civilization Vs. The Coffin of Civilization

But, hey, they both involve civilization!

9. Cheney admits he doesn't know, implying ignorance is good enough

The fact is, the adminstration didn't even bother to find out if those 380 tons were or were not there, were or were not being looted, to follow up on UN and Iraqi warnings. And they use their own ignorance to argue that nobody has enough facts to criticize them. Dicks.

[Supersedeas]

10. Not at all clear (though very clear) about Museums and Explosives

Let's just say that OPPOSITE of whats actually happening in reality and maybe our WORDS will trump facts.

IT IS NOT AT ALL CLEAR

LETS COMPARE THE EXPLOSIVES TO ARTIFACTS FOR INSTANCE...

You have art and you have facts...what I am saying is FACTS...

Thank you Lord Rummi
