Video Shows Explosives Went Missing After War
More updates to the missing explosives from al Qa Qaa: Members of the 101st Airborne Division enter al Qa Qaa on 18 APR 2003 on the way toward Bagdad with embedded reporters from KSTP-TV find evidence that explosives went missing after the war:
During that trip, members of the 101st Airborne Division showed the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS news crew bunker after bunker of material labelled "explosives." Usually it took just the snap of a bolt cutter to get into the bunkers and see the material identified by the 101st as detonation cords.
"We can stick it in those and make some good bombs." a soldier told our crew.
Soldiers who took a 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew into bunkers on April 18 said some of the boxes uncovered contained proximity fuses.
There were what appeared to be fuses for bombs. They also found bags of material men from the 101st couldn't identify, but box after box was clearly marked "explosive."In one bunker, there were boxes marked with the name "Al Qaqaa", the munitions plant where tons of explosives allegedly went missing.
Yahoo News also has a similar story. At the same location, the embedded reporters found IAEA seals on bunkers in the al Qa Qaa facility. UPDATE: David Kay confirms white powder was HMX/RDX and the seals were from the IAEA. Additionally, he doesn't say this but it goes unspoken that the Bush Administration knoew about all of the ammo sites, and that by doing nothing to secure the sites, endangered American soldiers.
Game, Set, Match. The Bush Administration left a known cache of high explosives open to the enemy. Remember, one pound of this stuff brought down Flight 103 in Scotland. It doesn't even matter when the explosives went missing, they weren't destroyed by allied bombing, by allied ground forces, nor were they protected. Now they are blowing up our soldiers in the field. But what really gets me angry is that, 1. This happened, 2. The administration is falling all over itself in Keystone Cops fashion to deny, deny, deny facts. Sometimes the facts are anti-Bush. Lastly, I get angry when an Administration surrogate has this to say about our men and women in the armed forces:
The president was cautious the president was prudent the president did what a commander in chief should do. No matter how you try to blame it on the president the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough? Didn't they search carefully enough?

Watch it for yourself. (wma) Wasn't it yesterday that the President was alleging that Sen. Kerry was besmirching the honor of our troops in battle? Only in the President's world would questining civilian leadership and decisions would equal dishonoring our troops. And only in the President's world is up is down when someone from his campaign does the exact same thing he accuses Kerry of doing. Well, that is a pretty standard Bush Administration MO
