This was recycled news. No doubt about that. But Bush critics will seize on this and make hay out of it.:

Critics claim there were simply not enough U.S. troops to guard hundreds of weapons stockpiles, weapons now being used by insurgents and terrorists to wage a guerrilla war in Iraq.” (NBC’s “Nightly News,” 10/25/04)

You're right on the money, I read this same story a while back too.

As for the Dem. claims that the thefts of these weapons occurred due to a lack of boots on the ground, perhaps Bush or a spokesman might remind them that at the time of the looting the US had 150,000 troops on the ground, and Britian had 40,000. Add to that the 2,500 soldiers from Spain who helped in the early phases of the war and there were roughly 200,000 troops in Iraq. So sheer numbers don't necessarily guarantee that a war will go smoothly or that the other side won't fight back and do some damage.

I'm so tired of all this liberal b.s.
