Oh No! There are hundreds of tons of high explosives (that the Iraqis never had, right? No WMD here folks. Move along) missing from bunkers in Iraq! How could President Bush be so careless?
This story is falling apart faster than the forged memos, partially because the media is actually doing their job. NBC was first to jump in, with contemporary reports that verified that the explosives were missing when the troops arrived. Now ABC is piling on, using IAEA memos that indicate that the amount of high explosives there was on the order of 3 tons, not 300 tons. Since IAEA moron in command el Baradei was the source of the original charge, how ironic is it that memos from his own organization are now showing it to bw a lie. Wizbang and NZ Bear have the full details, but, put simply, it appears the Russians (you know, part of the "real" coalition Kerry plans to build) working with the Iraqi army, may have moved the explosives out of Iraq into Syria prior to the war, and there may be satellite imagery to prove it.
This story is falling apart so badly that now there are some liberals claiming, as they did over the memo flap, that it was a flase story planted by Karl Rove to embarass the media and democrats.
At least those clowns are smart enough to know they should be embarassed. They should be ashamed.
