......
I'm sure many of you have heard the latest story that the US Military somehow neglected to prevent over 380 tons of high grade explosives from being stolen from a warehouse in Iraq. Let's ignore the fact that it's in the best interest of the US military to protect these ammo dumps, and one would have to take an Olympic leap of logic to propose that the Military "forgot" about 380 tons of explosives, considering that this is how soldiers are dying in roadside bombs.
Instead I direct you to the Belmont Club, and their take on the issue.
"In this context, the loss of 380 tons of RDX is similar to worrying about a toothache after being diagnosed with AIDS and Ebola. Some 600,000 tons of explosive are said to have been dispersed throughout Iraq prior to the conclusion of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The loss of the RDX is serious, but in the overall scheme of things, one of the least worries."
Of course, this is somehow Bush's fault too, right?...........(shaking head)......
