So the New York Times got it wrong again! The now infamous “tons” of weapons gone missing in Iraq turns out to be not quite as true as first reported. How nice for the current Administration.

The bigger story, the bigger catastrophe, is the failure of this Administration - - - especially the Department of Defense - - - in not guarding weapons sites all over Iraq, even to this day.

Why should we care?

We should, and I do, because these unguarded weapons sites are supplying the deadly explosives for the roadside bombs that have been killing and maiming our soldiers by the thousands.

By the thousands, my friends.

Look, American Presidents start wars and sometimes end them, but they usually do not direct the battles - - - unless they're LBJ and pick the actual bombing targets. But that is another story for another time.

And no, President Bush did not say to Donald Rumsfeld, “hey Rummy, don’t bother guarding millions of tons of explosives and rockets. It’s ok. Let them be.”

However, President Bush does have some culpability because he has not fired Rummy for the disaster that is the current, but still winnable, Guerilla War.

We all make mistakes, but still not guarding weapons sites is a mistake.

But even today, we hear denial from this Administration. Hey, keep your denial, hire the guards, secure the explosives and take care of this problem now.

And we should be charging those who had a hand in this type of incompetence with criminal negligence. This is how serious I am.

The terrorists have killed and are still killing our soldiers, but the idiots who did not guard and are still not guarding these weapons sites have blood on their hands.

We probly dont know where more weapons are than we do.

I didnt know he felt this way. I will do some catching up.

I have been avoiding all television as much as I can.
My new therapist has suggested that my stress level may be more managable this way.
