MISSING EXPLOSIVES

No Check of Bunker, Unit Commander Says

By JIM DWYER and DAVID E. SANGER

-snip-

Colonel Anderson, who is now the chief of staff for the 101st and spoke by telephone from Fort Campbell, Ky., said that he did not see any obvious signs of damage when he arrived on April 10, but that his focus was strictly on finding a secure place to collect his troops, who were driving and flying north from Karbala.

"There was no sign of looting here," Colonel Anderson said. "Looting was going on in Baghdad, and we were rushing on to Baghdad. We were marshaling in."

"It is possible that Iraqi forces removed some explosives before the invasion."

With that one little sentence, the Kerry campaign suffers a mortal hit from the New York Times.

The NYT uses lies and innuendos.

This article says nothing about the LIE that the explosives were removed after U.S. forces arrived.

This article is a fu*king smokescreen.

Didn't they learn from the CBS debacle????? Just report ALL sides and points of the story. That is all we ask. Don't leave out details that may discredit your theory. The NY Times is supposed to be the paper of record....it is what we expect.

I thought the NYT's said our number one priority after Baghdad fell was that we guard the Museums :-)

These people at the "Old Grey Whore" are a joke

It would have taken the armies of every UN member country to secure all the munitions dumps, caches, depots and complexes in Iraq. It's amazing that the country didn't self-destruct given the vast amount of weapons, bombs, explosives and who knows what else was there.

Of course, the NYT will always believe the word of someone else (in this case Iraqis) over our own Military.

I'd just like to know why the IAEA didn't destroy the explosives when the UN Inspectors told them to do so in 1995!
