Getting Deeper by the Hour
Mood:  don't ask
Here's what CNN.com is reporting at this hour (emphases mine):

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of 380 tons of powerful explosives from a storage depot in Iraq has taken a new twist, after a network embedded with the U.S. military during the invasion of Iraq reported that the material had already vanished by the time American troops arrived.

NBC News reported that on April 10, 2003, its crew was embedded with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division when troops arrived at the Al Qaqaa storage facility south of Baghdad.

While the troops found large stockpiles of conventional explosives, they did not find HMX or RDX, the types of powerful explosives that reportedly went missing, according to NBC.

Now, keep in mind that Saddam wasn't supposed to be much of a threat and had no interest in working on nuclear weapons. Right? But the pansy-asses at the International Atomic Energy Agency must have thought the potential for an Iraqi nuclear capability was there because, well...keep reading.

Baghdad fell on April 9, 2003. According to NBC, troops from the 101st Airborne arrived the next day to find that the material was already gone.

Prior to the Iraq war, the high-grade explosives at Al Qaqaa had been under the control of IAEA inspectors because the material could be used as a component in a nuclear weapon, IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said. IAEA and other U.N. inspectors left the country in March 2003 before the fighting began on March 19.

Okay, so the IAEA and the UNiks had already taken off when we began Operation Iraqi Freedom. But before they did ---and as everyone knew--- Saddam was in possession of special explosives that were intended for use in nuclear bombs. Got that? There was at least a month for the Saddamites to break the seals on those caches at al-Qaqaa and abscond with the goods ---long before we could get there.

I very much need to kick someone's ass. Just anyone's will do. These pricks at the New York Times and their glory hole-tenders at the UN and IAEA want to be done with this Administration ---and they're pulling out all the stops.

This needs to be played right from my side and then this election will be wrapped up. Because no real American is going to put up with a bunch of fraudulent shit from these corrupt bastards. Their game will be exposed today.

Fuck you, Joe Lockhart.

Fuck you, John Kerry.

Fuck you, John Edwards.
