How Much Safer Now? HMX, RDX and the Tex-Mex border

The only Bush and Co. action more egregious than the theft itself and its subsequent cover-up is the current attempt of the Bush spin machine to pretend that the whole miserable affair never occurred at all and that Saddam Hussein was in fact the guilty party. The proclivity of Georgie Bush and his hapless helpers to produce scenarios reaching a crescendo of unbelievability in the face of overwhelmingly contrary evidence boggles the imagination.
The only storyteller capable of rivalling Georgie Bush and his spin-master's take on Near Eastern affairs was the twelfth century literary genius who produced the magical wonderland of The Arabian Nights.
For a taste of reality, consider just for a moment, a rusty Chevy van carrying a half a dozen migrant laborers, one of whom is in fact an Al Quaeda agent carrying ten pounds of HMX, unloading its passengers at the "porous border" on a moonless two A.M. Feel safer?

Blah blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.
Your talking points are already inoperative. The explosives were stolen sometime between Jan. & April 2003 - before the US even got to Qa Qaa.
Are you arguing now that Bush, Cheney, Rice, & Rumsfeld are incompetent because they didn't send in the troops fast enough??? Geeeeeez!!!
(It's so fun watching liberal campaigns implode.

Former weapons inspector David Albright was asked about this on CNN Monday evening and he said, "I would want to check it out. I mean it's a big site. These bunkers are big and it could get lost in that complex and it may be that they just didn't go to the right places and didn't see it."
Certainly there would have been time enough to move the stuff. That's almost a month. But this would be a massive and quite visible undertaking. As the Times noted yesterday, moving this material would have taken a fleet of about forty big trucks each moving about ten tons of explosives. And this was at a time -- the week before and then during the war -- when Iraq's skies were positively crawling with American aerial and satellite reconnaissance.

What's really fun is watching the stooges at the White House try to explain this away.
"We'll get to the bottom of it."
No wait,
"The explosives were already gone."
No wait,
"The New York Times is unfair for running the story the week before the election."
No wait,
"Kerry is just grabbing headlines to criticize us."
No wait,
"Now he's criticizing our fighting men and women."
No wait,
"What a fool I was to listen to that jerk Rumsfeld about troop deployments!"

Im not saying it is or is not Bush's fault , but he does need to hold someone responsible for this screw up. I understand it could have been looted before the military got there, but according to the article it would have taken a fleet of tracktrailers to move it and it also say that if that was the case the trucks would have been seen.

IMO the most outrageous statement by the White House is that this is a political stunt - an October Surprise that the Kerry campaign has latched on to in its latest effort to throw everything they can find at the wall & see what sticks.
I am shocked - SHOCKED - to think that the Kerry campaign would stoop so low!

Stay tuned for details on who sold them to Iraq and when. My guess is after the new year there is going to be a load of details about that and other facets of the alleged U.N. sanctions on Iraq.

Anybody besides me notice the 'next year' tactic. When ever the right fouls up it's either blame Clinton or 'facts will come out next year that will vindicate us' only they never do.
