380 tonnes of high explosives. Oh wait, that's what the Iraqis are using on the U.S. military. Never mind.
I see Supertool is spreading the party myth.
The fact is, was, and always will be that those explosives were missing before the US ever took that base.
CBS (go figure) planned an election eve coup with this misinformation... and was upstaged a week early by the NYT. Now the truth has ample time to come out and Kerry, CBS (it figures) and the NYT are getting owned by it, bigtime.
If anything, this story shows how hundreds and hundreds of tons of high grade weapons (including possible WMDs) were moved just before the war. It shows that the missing WMDs could very well have been moved out of the country or hidden just as these high grade explosives were.
In the end, this story HELPS Bush. And all because the NYT decided to scoop CBS on a BS story giving the truth time to come out.
