Does anyone have a picture of one of these IAEA seals?

They sound like big doors.

A picture of them will blow this thing wide open.

Proof that they were not easily missed.

This story is filled with IAEA backtracking from what they originally leaked to the NYT.

This whole thing reeks of UN lies.

The U.N. nuclear agency said Thursday it warned the United States about the vulnerability of explosives stored at Iraq (news - web sites)'s Al-Qaqaa military installation after another facility — Iraq's main nuclear complex — was looted in April 2003.

They don't give up even when they're lying, do they?

What the IAEA won't tell you is that Deulfer (sp?) warned them they should be destroying the ammunitions, not just putting stickers on them.

They ignored our warning and now it's come back to bite them.

Once again, Yahoo never fails to jump on the other side of the issue.

Next time you see an article this in-depth in favor of anything the Bush administration does, track me down.

I'd love to see it.

And the IAEA was told by the Security Council to remove the explosives in 1996 but they didn't because Saddam want to keep them for peacefull uses ie: construction projects so they took it upon themselves to let him keep them.

Plus, even if IAEA DID warn the US, that doesn't mean that the explosives were still there. By the time the warning was issued, the explosives could have been gone already...

"Russia tied to Iraq's missing arms"

(Bill Gertz, Washington Post)
"Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned."

They showed them on Fox. I was thinking large cable locks. But seriously, it wouldn't have taken anything to break them. Looked like they were only there to determine if entry was made, not to prevent entry.

The IAEA ignored our warnings, in 1995 (thanks Howlin) and now they are trying to blame US for a problem THEY created.

Does anyone else get the picture of slapping a happy face sticker on a box of deadly ammo and thinking that was going to keep Saddam on the straight and narrow so hilarious it's hard to breath?

UN makes millions off the Iraqi misery. UN allows Saddam to grow stronger. Bush warns UN. UN votes to do something about Saddam. UN refuses to do anything about Saddam. Bush does something about Saddam. UN criticizes Bush about doing something. Coalition finds some weapons, finds some missing, but also realized UN colluded with Saddam. The UN says it warned Bush that the things Bush warned UN about (but don't exist in the UN papers and Democrat mind) were taken while Bush is getting the UN to commit to solving the problems Bush warned the UN. Now UN criticizes Bush for not heeding the warning that came after the other warnings Bush gave to them.

Makes total sense.

As I recall, there were several European countries that stalled our action in the UN debacle. That gave Saddam warning and time to move the explosives.

The IAEA can warn us all they want. They ignored our strong recommendations to get rid of/destroy the ammunition.

Somehow the appeasers in the UN thought a cute little sticker would suffice instead.
