Had to give this one a quick go around. I just saw the Kerry ad accusing the Bush administration of negligence regarding the missing weapons cache in Iraq. Although I do think it is an important issue, I thought I might add my viewpoint for all (1) of you to see.
1) 380 tons of explosives? According to John Kerry and Juan Williams of NPR and many others, this is a huge amount that could be used for "blowing up airplanes," detonating nuclear devices," and other "terorist activities." Wait a minute; I thought Saddam Hussein was "not a threat," and had no ties to terrorism. Iraq was a peaceful country where kids flew kites and people sat down every morning for a cappuccino before going off to their fantastic jobs according to Michael Moore. Yet there are 380 tons of missing explosives that are used for detonating nuclear devices? Not to mention, the coalition has captured or destoryed 100's of thousands of tons of explosives and weapons since the invasion began. hmmm.
2) The explosives were already gone before the U.S.A. even got there! The IAEA tagged the location sometime in March of 2003, and when the liberators (us) got there in May of '03, they were already gone! How is that Bush's fault!? There may be facts yet to come, until then.... Maybe we should have gone to war sooner to make sure we retained these weapons of....well, destruction.
3) It is very interesting that the NEW YORK TIMES broke this story 7 days before the election, and 60 Minutes, a highly reliable news organization, (remember the Dan Rather lying) has plans to air this huge story on (this) the Sunday before election day. Not to mention, Kerry's TV ad came out this morning, mere hours after the story broke. Wow. That was quick!

I think you're way too quick to dismiss anything from the Times. Point #1 - These explosives were under the watchful eye of the IAEA and we knew where they were. Now we don't BECAUSE of the invasion. That's the problem. The admin. was told TWO YEARS AGO that this was one of the largest explosives depots in the country. It goes to the planning of the war. Yet another example of how Bush has put us and our troops in harms way. Why would we not bomb this site to smithereens or at least guard it? We were concentrating on the oil fields I guess. (Which I think was important to Iraq's eventual well being and economy, that's their one source of income. I don't think they'll be planting soybeans in the desert anytime soon.) As far as the explosives (and the now fictional WMD's), instead of sending troops in to a hostile land, why couldn't we have just bombed the weapons areas and the (again fictional) WMD areas. If we were sure enough that he had them, wouldn't we have a pretty good idea where?
Point #2 - Seems to be disproven by the minute through no fault of your own. It's funny how you're so quick to believe any report by conservative outlets and I'm so quick to believe any report by a liberal outlet. Is this where we are now? If it's reported my Hannity it's a lie to me, and if it's reported by Garofalo it's a lie to you. We as consumers of journalism need to hold both sides more accountable. This is a bad thing for the country.
