Explosive!
Well, this post is a long time coming. I've been following the news points on a daily basis, and while there's certainly been "news" none of it has really been of the kind to grab one's attention...until today.
According to the Iraq government it appears that approximately 380 tons of highly explosive military grade materials were looted from Iraq during the invasion by the grand Coalition of the Killing. Apparently, the International Atomic Energy Agency knew of this explosives cache (its location, size, etc.) and even warned the administration about it--however, nothing was done to protect this stockpile of explosives which had been monitoried by the IAEA during the sanctions regime and were allowed to be used by the Iraqi government for various building projects.
There is even evidence to suggest that Bush Administration officials have been suppressing the release of this information to the press for quite some time (the explosives have been missing for months). Finally, it is likely, although not proven, that this explosive material is what is being used for the various suicide bombing attempts by the Iraqi resistence. Just so you have a picture of what kind of quantity of explosives we're talking about here--it's the equivalent of nearly 10 tractor-trailer rigs worth of material.
Now, I don't know about you, but when an agency actually tells you where this stuff is and you do absolutely nothing to protect it from looting (and remember, it's not like they could just break a window and load this stuff in napsacks) then by most standards your lack of attention qualifies as an extreme case of incompetence and ineptitude.
Go Bush go! Treat yourself to a dose of reality.
