The GOP will be trying their damndest to spin this story into the backpages but its up to an informed (the GOP version would be informated) citizenry to call bullshit on bullshit when its appropriate.
Captain Normal asks A reasonable question that the White House will not answer.
More....
All those explosives are now gone and, presumably, in the hands of the enemy. Those weapons are going to be used against US troops and will result in more unnecessary deaths. Those deaths are directly attributable to one George W. Bush for not doing his job.
The GOP and its many headed spinsters will try and muddy the waters to make the story disappear. They will discredit the reporter, they will discredit anyone associated with the story so as to try and make themselves appear less culpable.
Don't buy it. Not for a moment. The responsibility for securing this huge explosives cache was completely on the coalition forces and that means it was America's problem. They didn't secure the explosives and now they are going to be used to kill more Americans as well as people from other nations.
Bush is lying even as I write this. He's trying to weasel out from under this enormous fuck up and lay blame elsewhere.
Don't let him slip away again (not like he let Osama bin Laden slip away). Don't let him get away with the totally avoidable screw up he's just been caught in. Don't let Bush have any more time to further derail this country. Don't let Bush use his faith-based strategeries to win the peace by throwing ever more money at Halliburton (I thought we were at war with terrorism, why does Halliburton seem to make all the money?).
Don't let Bush get away with another mistake. More here and here and here and probably everywhere else online.
[Update: My newest and favoritist pet theory is that Bush intended on the terrorists getting those explosives so that they can blow themselves up. That way the other terrorists won't get mad at the US for killing them. They'll get all sad and melancholy and then go home to listen to old Smashing Pumpkins albums. Shrub is one clever fella, I tell you what!]
[Second Update: This is telling. Today's iWon survey is about these same missing explosives. The results are interesting.
42% are very concerned about the missing explosives.
42% are somewhat concerned.
10% are not very concerned.
And 4% aren't concerned at all
A whopping 72% thought that explosives were in the enemy's hands now.
When asked about the impact on the election that this news will have: 13% said it will have a major impact, 37% said a minor impact, 37% said no impact (maybe they live in bomb proof homes or something?), 12% weren't sure and 1% didn't care (WTF? how can you not care about 380 tons of explosives getting into the bad guy's hands?)]
