I'm only gonna say this once ... For weeks we've seen school after hospital after mosque stuffed floor to ceiling with AK 47s, RPGs, mines, cases and cases of ammo, etc, etc.

Every cache has to be checked individually for booby traps. Once a site is known it can only be guarded until its cleared. That's what we were doing when the site was attacked. One of our guys got hurt defending the site.

The Iraqis need to reveal all they know about every cache - we'll take care of them as quickly as possible but we're still dealing with a war and people in the middle can get hurt.

"Army Spc. Kevin Braam said the dump stored both Iraqi and U.S. ammunition..."
