I believe the Major but I think it was a mistake to send
him out in front of reporters and not brief him on a question
that he was certain to get.
This situation has been handled miserably by the administration and the Pentagon. Snow says the Russians
carted it away, It was only three tons, a flat bed and a pickup were at the site, It's in Syria, the mission was to get to Bagdad, We never saw it, we did see it, etc.
It's the gang that couldn't shoot straight on this issue.
Why didn't they send this Major out there in the first place?
They didn't send the guy out, because they didn't even know he existed. He saw the report on television and remembered that it was one of many, many sites he destroyed munitions at. Maybe the army should have cataloged each every munition dump they encountered there but such a thing would be ridiculous. The whole country was covered with munition dumps. How are they supposed to know about this particular one immediately?
