Those missing explosives

Oct. 25 - I've been trying to think of something to say about the Tons of Iraq explosives missing but I've developed a severe headache from banging my head on the desk.

1 There was an estimated 2 million tons of munitions and explosives in Iraq at the start of the war. Far less than half of this has been found or destroyed. I wouldn't get too concerned because: a) There is no indication that those explosives were there when it was over-run by the US army b) Some of the bunkers had been bombed which may or may not have destroyed this material c) No evidence thus far of any of the wilder hyperbole on end usage. Iraqi terrorists only have to go to the nearest mosque to get the munitions they require. Oh BTW the UN let Saddam keep these explosives to build oh you know dams, roads and kindergartens.

2 Update: Headlines Fake But Accurate At NEW YORK TIMES, maybe Dan Rather is now writing copy?

4 Hi you all - I read the update on the explosives when I got home this morning -- the embed program just got a listing on the law of unintended consequences.
