No seal on the door in the video, no proof that alleged explosives are on video and GPS just south of Al-qa-qaa wraps up this "story". I'm going to bed. Goodnight all!

Links for locations of ammo dumps:

Tuwaitha 18 km SSE of Baghdad

Al-qa-qaa 30-38 km South of Baghdad

Salman Pac 40 km SE of Baghdad

BTW, In May of this year, U.S. Forces were prohibited from removing 500 tons of Uranium from Tuwaitha. Reference: San Diego Union Tribune

I think the real story is the IAEA keeping everyone's attention focused away from the 500 tons of Uranium.

The photo with the seal was most probably taken at Tuwaitha where the 500 tons of Uranium was located, not at Al-qa-qaa. A good question is why would Saddam have 500 tons of Uranium, since I assume you can make a dirty bomb with any grade of Uranium.

Not to go too far astray, but regarding al Tuwaitha, we did a secret mission to remove tons of stuff from that site and it was announced this last summer (showing our troops were busily securing, then moving stuff and not trusting the IAEA until it was done, in addition to the hundreds of tons we have destroyed in the country. In fact, out of the many articles about the removal I am choosing this AP one because they are so indignant that the U.S. did this without the vaunted UN approval):

Uranium taken from Iraq without authorization

excerpt:

UNITED NATIONS -- The United States didn't have authorization from the U.N. nuclear watchdog when it secretly shipped from Iraq uranium and highly radioactive material that could be used in so-called ''dirty bombs,'' U.N. officials said Wednesday.

The nearly 2 tons of low-enriched uranium and approximately 1,000 highly radioactive items transferred from Iraq to the United States last month had been placed under seal by the International Atomic Energy Agency at the sprawling Tuwaitha nuclear complex, 12 miles south of Baghdad, the officials said.

As I type this Frank Keating is on Fox saying this tape goes to "advantage Kerry". Oh brother. And Fox is clueless. And to think I, as a viewer, got the timeline from them (then verified in multiple publications). Too bad they have no memory of their own reports.
