I viewed the video and none of the "explosives" were marked with IAEA seals. And everybody that is not a Rat operative knows that there were thousands of tons of explosives at AL Qaa Qaa but Bush/Our Military is only being accused of letting the IAEA sealed items to disappear!

Exactly. The story has always been that our troops found conventional weapons and some explosives, but not the sealed HMX and RDX they had been apprised of (and Kerry has been lying saying nobody told them to look for).

However, I have a real problem with ABC asserting the 101st was at Al Qaqaa on April 18. The timeline by all other sources, including the Pentagon, is they were there April 10. This is either another site or ABC gave the wrong date (though they say "April 18, nine days after Baghdad fell" indicating it is not a typo).

I think the original statement concerning the 101st was 2 days before Baghdad fell!

Newt is making the point on Fox..This story was released and published to hurt the President's reelection chances and someone else said this..I paraphrase..In war "stuff" happens and to expect tactical decisions to be perfect in the midst of war is outrageous..

These guys were trying accomplish a mission, free Iraq and this is one tenth of one percent of what they have captured.(400,000 tons)
I do not believe 370 tons were looted..I don't believe it was possible...some was probably looted.
