It might be a good idea to FIRST establish whether or not they WERE "looted", SECOND establish WHY the UN waited until last week to inform the Pentagon if this mysterious and terribly frightening disappearance. If the answer to the first question is "yes" we can find out who has them while continuing the investigation into the UN's suspicious timing, which may have the effect of leading us to who has the explosive materials anyway.
Gee, if the MSM (translated "right arm of the Kerry camp")
can't find anything on President Bush, they just invent
(forge) it. Snort! :O/
