Is this good news for Bush, and if so, how?
Because not only was it secured, it was destroyed. It wasn't looted, it's not in the hand of terrorists... it's destroyed.
Game. Set. Match.
It's going to put the lie to the NY Times story, and make Kerry look like an uninformed, anti-military ASS.
If our troops disposed of the explosives, Kerry can't claim Bush negligence in guarding the explosives.

Now I'm confused, first we show satellite photos of "Russian trucks" moving the stuff before the war. Then ABC shows a tape dated 18 Apr, and now we say we destroyed it 13 April?

Have you been in a cocoon lately??
Don't pay attention to the news??
Unless there is conclusive evidence released today refuting the original claims made by the NYTimes and others, this story is not good for PresBush`s reelection efforts. Period. Frankly, there is no time left in the campaign for this story to move off the political radar screen. The entire liberal establishment has been playing it up, for all its worth.
Drip, drip drip....
Since President Bush did nothing wrong, nor did our troops, yes, it is good for him.
Let's look at the big picture here:
The bottom line allegation was our troops were not informed this type of material was at the complex and needed to be taken care of.
The media, and Kerry then outrageously embellished, stated the stuff was stolen by the enemy under our noses and is being used against our troops now and it's all Bush's fault.
The bottom line of all the stories since are that our troops were there, the stuff could not have been stolen all at once in large quantities after we were in Iraq, and the over-all evidence has always been that our troops have gathered up and secured/and or destroyed the material, as they continue to do up to this day.
The negligence argument from the media and Kerry is completely false.
