Why didn't Kay Report and Dulfer report have this about the Explosives?
If the Pentagon/Military had sent somebody to destroy 200+ tons of highly dangerous explosives at Al Qaqaa....

why wasn't this mentioned in either of the major reports out of Iraq?

Why didn't Rummy mention this in any of his press briefings?

The Bush admin has faced bad new out of Iraq for months.

Had they really done this search, find, and destroy mission in April;
the admin would have shouted the news over and over.


This story has to be a (another) lie!

1. Plus why are they destroying weapons under IAEA seal?

2. Documents would have to exist
You don't destroy 200 TONS without a paper trail.

It makes no sense.

Besides how can a few soldiers do this with out the knowledge of the Pentagon?

Also, wasn't the argument that a few looters couldn't possibly have come away with so much ammo?

Off topic, I remember awhile ago reading an article on Salon (I think), an interview with an insurgent who mocked us for allowing them to loot weapons under our nose. The soldiers asked the Iraqis taking weapons "are you ali babba" (thief) and they said "ayup" (okay, maybe they just nodded" and they all went their separate ways.
