RM9 - I haven't posted because nothing new has happened that changes my opinon of the problem. New stuff today has turned up though.
What we have here is a known site where highly dangerous explosives were stored. That's a fact.
The explosives were there immediately prior to the US invasion. That's fact too.
When a US troops looked in the place, they found a bunch of stuff labeled "explosives." More facts.
A new and inconvenient fact - US troops & reporters saw boxes of explosives and materials under IAEA seal on April 18.
Occam's razor - "the explosives" were the ones we had records for and expected to find there.
I am unconvinced by your attempt to wave your fingers and say, "these are not the explosives you're looking for."
If you want to claim that these were random, unrelated and unimportant explosives, good luck with that, pal! But the burden of proof is on you for it.
Until then I will continue to believe that the explosives were the ones we knew for a fact were there before the invasion.
Re the ABC news story - they've got footage of boxes of stuff with "Al Qa Qa" stamped on it .
New developments today Shows them in Al Qa Qa examing doors with IAEA seals on them. This is around April 18th. LOOOOONG after the US troops claimed to be in control of the area.
In other words, the stuff was nominally under US protection as of April 18, although the ABC team reports that "protection" is a very poor description for what was going on.
Snow, the reason this is relevent is because it raises questions about the way the war in Iraq was conducted and the people - specifically, The Person, who was responsible for it all and who is up for job review next Tuesday.
