I wondered what kind of fool would buy the bullshit story from the NY Times and CBS and now I see that fools name is yoda.

The story has been debunked. Sattelite evidence shows that a majority of the weapons were removed before troops got on the ground. This is a pathetic attempt by a pathetic man (kerry) to try to sway the ignorant in the last week.

"Have you heard about the Lindberg baby?"

This just in: "John Kerry says that George W. Bush was smoking on the Hindenburgh!"

A video showed by ABC proves that the explosives disappeared after the invasion, and not before.

Yes thats exactly what the videos show. Who is the fool now?

When did this 360 tons of explosives go missing? I think I heard that it
was found to be missing in April in 2003.
If so why is it just now making news? Hmmm.

Someone please clarify this for me, but only if you are absolutely sure
of the FACTS.

Thanks

CNN is showing a Pentagon briefing with an Army officer who is describing how the explosives at Al Qaqaa were destroyed in June 2003 after having captured it in April 2003.

First, Kerry was all wrong when he said that the Al Qaqaa site and its weapons were abandoned by the Army. By 13 April, the Army had loaded up 250 tons of explosive ordinance, including plastic explosive which could have been the RDX. The major said that the materials hauled off included crates and barrels such as those shown in the ABC video. However, ABC reported that the video was shot on 18 April, meaning that the weapons it showed were left behind, if the dates are correct.

At any rate, no one ignored warnings about Al Qaqaa, and the Army was well aware of the importance of the site. The area had been secured by the 3ID and 101st Airborne and remained pacified, making the notion that looters carted off many tons of materials extremely suspect.

Also...

If you review the pictures on the KSTP web site (http://www.kstp.com/article/stories/S3741.html?cat=1) that has the ABC video everyone is using you can see a very clear picture of a seal with its number (#144322). The PDF document of the UN inspections available show the numbers of the seals and none of them have that number. Therefore, it is clear that the bunkers that ABC videoed were not the ones that held the HMX the UN inspected.

Here are the seal numbers that were used to keep the HMX and RDX under wraps:

50/221075
51/221074
59/221073
41/221072
49/221071
35/221076
34/221080
38/361167
37/221087

None of these numbers are even close in sequence to the number shown in the ABC report. Moreover, on page 3 of the report, the IAEA concludes that Al Qaqaa only contains 3,080 kilograms of RDX, or around 3 tons. The amount of HMX noted at the time was 194,741 kg, or about 214 tons. PETN comes in at 3500 kg, or 4 tons. Where does the IAEA come up with 377 tons of material at Al Qaqaa?

For the sake of debate, will someone please explain to me how terrorists can "loot" approximately 30-40 SEMI TRUCKLOADS of anything, without anyone seeing this????

Plus, the IAEA has admitted that they sealed the facilities front doors, but did NOT seal the ventilation shafts or air ducts. They ceded that anyone did indeed have access to those weapons via those routes.

Hey jbiggs... I hate to tell you, but you just wasted a fair amount of time researching and typing, even though I do appreciate it. Since when do democrats let the facts get in the way of anything ?
