There are 380 tons of high quality explosives missing in Iraq. Using English tons, that means 760,000 pounds of RDX.

A single pound of RDX was enough to bring down the Lockerbie plane, so let's say that five pounds makes an adequate car bomb or suicide bomb.

Just to be on the safe side.

That means that the 38 tons of missing RDX could supply the Iraqi insurgency with 152,000 bombs. If they used three of these bombs against our troops and the Iraqi people every day, they would have enough explosives to keep bombing us for over four hundred years.

416.4 years, to be precise.

And all because somebody in the Bush Administration decided not to guard a single facility. The International Atomic Energy Association specifically warned them about this site, but they blew it off.

And now the Iraqi insurgency can bring it on for the next four centuries.

The IAEA was worried about this explosive material at all, because RDX is an ideal substance to trigger the explosive force of nuclear weapons. And now 380 tons of it is missing next door to Iran, a country currently developing nuclear weapons.

Along with several buildings (yes, actual buildings) that can be implemented to construct nuclear weapons.

And the man President Bush wanted to be the leader of the new Iraq, Ahmed Chalabi, the man who supplied much of the faultly pre-war intelligence, was recently exposed as a likely Iranian double agent.

Explain to me again how the world is now a safer place because George Bush put Saddam Hussein in a prison cell. Explain to me again how we and our loved ones in Iraq are safer because of this incompetent ideologue.

God help us all.

It's official. Iraq no longer quagmire. It's a clusterfuck.

Just in from eBay: Someone is trying to auction off 760,000 lbs. of high-end explosives. Get your bid in today. Shipping costs will be extremely high due to the hazardous material permit required by the successful bidder.

Anyway, this was my way of getting the point across today that Bush is both incompetent and dangerous. Also, 38 tons of this type of explosives were found in Riyadh by Saudi authorities after a raid. And I mentioned to someone that the opium trade in Afghanistan is going full tilt, so the opium smuggling routes are very busy. Some of this material may be heading north, in other words, into the hands of terrorists attacking Russia. And since no one seems to exactly know where all these explosives are, could someone be loading some of it into a cargo container heading for the U.S.? What a bunch of dangerous, incompetent boobs in the Bush administration!!!!

This situation is so messed up that if we learn the Iranians have the stuff, we'll be *relieved* because that means OBL doesn't have it.

Where's the party of "personal responsibility" going to find a scapegoat for this clusterfu -- sorry, Charlie Tango Foxtrot?

I'm assuming no Bushies will be fired, since Rumsfeld is still around; so we'll just have to do it ourselves, then. A week from today, everybody?

Jo, your page says "We're all Madrilenos." (Sorry, I don't know what the code is for "n" with a "~".) Thanks to all those explosives we can all be Madrilenos in the "blown up" sense as well.

Bush and his neocon crew make me long for the Carthaginian and Revolutionary French practice of executing defeated commanders.

I don't want to give these dumb bastards unemployment compensation.

I want to send them all to jail. I want them to be rotting in prison when they get a load of what we're going to to their reputations in the American history books that our kids will read for the next ten generations. And I want that knowledge to be the thing that kills them.

The Long War to Reclaim American Democracy

I thought there was no reason to be in Iraq?
No WMD, no biological warheads,...
Are you now saying there may have been 38 tons of bombs to be used on Iraqi people, surrounding nations, americans? Could there
have been weapons of mass destruction that
have dissappeared also? Should we just wait
with Kerry until they show up? Make up your
mind!

Shorter Hale-Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Fuhrer!

First off, hale: it's 380 tons of high-quality explosives.

Second - it's not WMD. That's a technical term, and it has always meant nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons. The explosives don't fit into any of these catagories.

Third - the explosives were under an IAEA seal. They were being monitored - until Bush invaded. Then they turned up missing.

Put down the Koolaid, hale, and open your eyes. This is a terrible tragedy, and it's Bush's fault.

And certain quality grade items that are necessary to creat critical mass flash points no doubt.

Gone to one of 2 places- 1- Iran w/Chalabi, 2- Israel to be made for a false flag incident...

Well then, if they were under IAEA seal they must still be there!! On the other hand, maybe they were moved during the months ahead of the invasion while the US pussyfooted waiting for the UN seal of approval. I figure even Sadam knew we were coming well in advance, even if the Democrats couldn't figure it out. My sources
tell me the site was considered WMD potential. But they have less credibility than Jo "961" and you handwringers!!

Actually I saw a video on television arrive at the site and show items under seal and mention conventional usage, those weapons were simply ignored. The infrasctructure to access the site needed a rebuild....helliburton anyone? Or was David Kaye mistaken when he noted such?

It would appear, to facilitate nuke development, that both Iran and Iraq were spoonfed key items but kept from obtaining all items necessary.

Chalabi appears to have bridged that, and between the two will probably get the items needed.

Or an Israeli false flag can be made. Remember the mossad glee club cheering the towers' collapse...they have now aquired enough not on the books perhaps to make an unaccounted for item in terms of paperwork and known IAEA capabilities. False flag, probably take out a nearby known foe, rig up an Assyrian miscue to get them out of Lebanon again and employ a contractor state, or Saddam's old grounds of Egypt for an over-the-top coup. Lossa Israeli interest in Putin land as well...

As for the yellowcake vanishing... dirty bombs have been being used most likely,nobody sees the results yet because the war has taken the headlines and prevented accurate followup...

In terms of true strategic and tactical terms this proves sanctions were working regardless, if such was not the case one big target would have already gone off. No way Hussein sits on one. He would have probably taken care of one enemy as a last move- not Israel.

Nobody would nuke Jerusalem and risk damnation over the Dome of the Rock as a Muslim. Saddam would have taken out Iraq, or arguably a Saud target away from Mecca... perhaps even Turkey where we have close ties and once deployed from.

As for this clown failing to note that the approach to this site was hit as hard target infrastructure to prevent initial payload evacuation.

It has a nice black market potential, wonder how much of this cost is part of Iraq's debt relief- think James Baker is powerbroking this stuff out with the old Bushco Pawn shop known as Kuwait?

Lossa possible scenarios still to go...

Don't you mean IRAN in Par seven!?

We should all hope not. Are you saying Bush let WMD get away, also? I'm hoping Bush was full of shit about WMD, not completely freaking incompetent!

I'll take Completely Freakin' Incompetent for $1600, Alex...

WORST
PRESIDENT
EVER

Who is "George W. Bush"?

Correct! and you're now in the lead!

If Bush is as dumb as you say, and you guys know so much.....he needs your help! On second thought, forget about it, things are bad enough...

Hey Clark er Clark - Bush is smarter than anyone who voted for him.

Lowell, that's what I've been telling you and Jo 961! Bush is smarter than the competition too. Maybe you voted for what's his name, the guy who got an eary out to go to divinity school and flunked out....you guys are really smart!

Well someone could actually hit Iraq- the Kurdish region. Especially where Kurds and Turks are, or the US deployment area from Turkey.

But to hit the Kurds with a false flag would destabilize Turkey and make Assyria the one to blame, Israel and Wolfowitz wanna invade there so very badly.Putin and Turkey may be on shaky ground with Chechen Muslim casualties... a false flag would take their focus off him and allow a fascist response.

The Kurds are threat to Shi'ites as well, Chalabi would gladly false flag them and still eventually get back at the Assyrians whom he embezzled from. Once they are out of the picture he can return to Lebanon where he and Osama Bin Laden did ponzi schemes for contractors in the Christian milita days of the 80s.

You remember those militias of terraists Reagan funded in Lebanon to start a sister state to Israel and it collapsed in corruption and Reagan ran after getting 248 Marines killed?
If not ask Scot Ritter about it, he was Semper Fi at the time and served with honor, despite the Rove slander of him being a rapist. As usual anyone with gravitas and a record of honorable uniformed service gets slandered by neocons if they do not maintain talking points.
As for Wes Clark, he said in off the record comments that he'd "Kick Ass" of anyone who questioned his loyalty to America personally.

Think about that while you use his name troll. He had to retrain his leg to walk and stayed in the Army at a time when the civilian leadership made a lot of great soldiers think twice about continued service.

You think Cheney wouldnt false flag with their polls this low? They polled this poorly going into 9-11. Preznit permanent vacayshun snoozed his way to a 9-11 wakeup call. His head was still stuck in bedtime stories though, so he had to finish My Pet Goat.

Gee M&M, I wouldn't want to say anything that wasn't nice, just like I'm sure you wouldn't say anything uh, ugly, about anybody
else. Stay cool, cobber, and try to keep the
felon voters to a mimimum!

Nice of you to note I've helped an incumbent Independent win several times over here.

Clark(e) Turke(e)
The real deal General Wes Clark, when asked if someone questioned his loyalty what he would do off the record, he said he'd "kick their ass".

That's about a nice a thing as he could say about you.

Tell me… is this the October Repugnant surprise? I know this isn't OBL, you can see the beard growing in places where it shouldn't be. Also, these MSNBC media whores are quick to note, he isn't using "archaic" Arabic language anymore. "Gee, I guess he wants to communicate with us in a dialect that's easier for us to translate". Bull crap!

Like this isn't a Karlissimo Rove ploy. I'll bet the Bush Klansmen soak it up with the rest of their pabulum.

Next to air on MSNBC... "Saddam Escapes, Dick & Dubya in Hot Pursuit."
