Careful, folks. "Nothing" refers to WMD, not RDX or HMX. The "white powder that appeared to be used for explosives" mentioned in this release could actually be the explosives the Times was talking about.

Ok, riddle me this. We're talking 380 TONS OF EXPLOSIVES

When IAEA said 'NOTHING', how could they have meant nothing at all and NOT mention 380 TONS of explosives?

Besides all that. After the site was taken and "secured" by the army, no chance in hell anybody could just come by and take 380 TONS of explosives from there! That's totally impossible even by the standards of those who tell stories about Ali Baba and the 40 thieves.

I agree

I don't agree. The "white powder" was tested and found to be an explosive, but it was not the tagged by the UN material, nor was it identified as HMC or RDX. As Jim Mik reported, our troops with the embedded reporters reported finding large caches of conventional weapons (the white powder falls into that category) but not the 380 tons of HMX or RDX.
