Tons of Explosives Missing from Former Iraq Atomic Site Wired News - Nearly 380 tons of explosives are missing from a site near Baghdad that was part of Saddam Hussein's dismantled atom bomb program but was never secured by the U.S. military, the United Nations said Monday. "This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the greatest blunders of this administration, and the incredible incompetence of this president and this administration has put our troops at risk and this country at greater risk," Kerry told supporters in Dover, New Hampshire. This is because he would have known to secure those explosives...  no wait, I forgot, he would have left it for Saddam.  After all, as President, he would not have invaded Iraq.  John kerry thinks the whole war was a blunder, however he would have secured weapons that he knew existed, without troops, and without invasion.  I want to hear how that plan works. UPDATE: Explosives already gone when US troops arrived “The Iraqi explosives story is a fraud. These weapons were not there when US troops went to this site in 2003. The IAEA and its head, the anti-American Mohammed El Baradei, leaked a false letter on this issue to the media to embarrass the Bush administration. The US is trying to deny El Baradei a second term and we have been on his case for missing the Libyan nuclear weapons program and for weakness on the Iranian nuclear weapons program.”  [ The Corner ] 1:10:19 PM
