NBCNEWS: HUGE CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES VANISHED FROM SITE IN IRAQ -- AT LEAST 18 MONTHS AGO -- BEFORE TROOPS ARRIVED
The NYTIMES urgently reported on Monday how the Iraqi interim government has warned the United States and international nuclear inspectors that nearly 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives are now missing from one of Iraq's most sensitive former military installations.
Jumping on the TIMES exclusive, Dem presidential candidate John Kerry blasted the Bush administration for its failure to "guard those stockpiles."
In an election week rush:
**ABCNEWS Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 4 Times
**CBSNEWS Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 7 Times
**MSNBC Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 37 Times
**CNN Mentioned The Iraq Explosives Depot At Least 50 Times
But tonight, NBCNEWS reports: The 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives were already missing back in April 10, 2003 -- when U.S. troops arrived at the installation south of Baghdad!
An NBCNEWS crew embedded with troops moved in to secure the Al-Qaqaa weapons facility on April 10, 2003, one day after the liberation of Iraq. According to NBCNEWS, the HMX and RDX explosives were already missing when the American troops arrived.
The International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors last saw the explosives in January 2003 when they took an inventory and placed fresh seals on the bunkers.
It is not clear why the NYTIMES failed to report the cache had been missing for 18 months -- and was reportedly missing before troops even arrived.
Developing...
Yup, a hero in my eyes. Thanks.
I don't live in Fl .. so I don't know
but it sure is the Main talking point the Kerry hacks are yapping about
Just heard that smarmy DNC hack Wolfson on Scarboro live a few minutes ago still pounding the Administration for losing all that ammo!
It is not clear why the NYTIMES failed to report the cache had been missing for 18 months -- and was reportedly missing before troops even arrived.
"The U.S. Army was at the sight one day after the liberation and the weapons were already gone," a top Republican blasted from Washington late Monday.

Either Rove or someone who eyes 2008 for herself.
Poor sKerry is fed his speech material and his information is completely false.
I smell Lockhart[Hillary]
/remove tin hat
I watched some of Kerry's speech this morning (muted of course). I kept thinking, for such a great debater, he was looking down at his notes very often.
As for tin hats, I've got about 20 old pie pans at my fingertips.:-)
Way too funny.
Who is the genius that decided to run Kerry's campaign ripping headlines ?
Don't play poker with Pres. GW Bush.
