No, this is good. This shows that the military did indeed have orders and that they had a plan; it shows that very early on they were destroying the explosives/munitions at Al Qaqa. Kerry can no longer make the claim that President Bush blew it. If there is a problem with the clean-up operations at Al Qaqa (and I don't believe there was) then Kerry has no choice but to lay the blame squarely at the feet of the U.S. military.

Maybe if John Kerry had attended his Intel briefings, this all could have been avoided. (bwaaaaaah)

I agree. Kerry has made the claim that soldiers came upon the compound, passed it by and did nothing to destroy its contents or guard the site. This guy is telling us otherwise, and any attack on him will look like a direct attack on the military, not on Bush. Plus, this emphasizes the fact that the munitions in question encompass a whole 1/1000% of the total found and destroyed.

I agree with you 100%. Somewhere along the line, the accusations went from "you didn't do your job securing that site" to "you can't prove you destroyed 'RDX'" (or whatever the hell it's called).

And no one seems to care that the mere fact that the press is so damn interested in a nuclear detonator, PROVES THAT WMD WERE IN IRAQ...

Actually, the President and the military did blow it. They blew it UP!!!!!
