MISSING EXPLOSIVES
Video Shows G.I.'s at Weapon Cache

A videotape made by a television crew with American troops when they opened bunkers at a sprawling Iraqi munitions complex south of Baghdad shows a huge supply of explosives still there nine days after the fall of Saddam Hussein, apparently including some sealed earlier by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

...Weapons experts familiar with the work of the international inspectors in Iraq say the videotape appears identical to photographs that the inspectors took of the explosives, which were put under seal before the war. One frame shows what the experts say is a seal, with narrow wires that would have to be broken if anyone entered through the main door of the bunker.

..."The photographs are consistent with what I know of Al Qaqaa," said David A. Kay, a former American official who led the recent hunt in Iraq for unconventional weapons and visited the vast site. "The damning thing is the seals. The Iraqis didn't use seals on anything. So I'm absolutely sure that's an I.A.E.A. seal."

And as I write this, I'm listening to a Pentagon's news conference (Major Austin Pierson) reporting after their 7 day investigation (just as Bush said they would). They are reporting that the Army did not lose control of these explosives. They were indeed present and they were removed by the U.S.

I've always thought that it was ludicrous to think that the military would be so careless as to let such a massive amount of ordinance escape their control. It was the U.S. that looted the cache!!!!
