2. Sadly, the troops are only as smart as their leaders.

If it were up to them they would have found them years ago.

4. Welcome to DU

There were stories (the NYT story about al Qua Qua for instance) of personnel being on site at some of these ammo dumps but they were told to leave them and keep going forward (towards Baghdad)

and the same stories told of alSadr and "leaders" like him dispatching trucks to haul off as much of this ammo as they could get. And apparently they got quite a lot.

:hi: Welcome

3. pathetic

Somebody can't tell the difference between a rocket and a bunch of 40mm artillery shells. Not much credence in this story.

6. The thing clearly says "rockets and other munitions".

No credence? Those ain't daisys they're inspecting.

Sheesh.
