"If these were potential WMD items and a WMD site may I ask why we did not send our forces there to secure it from looters? I mean we semt troops to secure the oli ministry building in Baghdad but we had no troops available to secure this WMD site? If this is a WMD site then heads should role for it not being secured as soon as possible--hell it is not even secured by any troops right now!!"

Try to keep up on the news. Our forces found this site after it had been looted, and before they had reached the oil ministry. We do have it secured now, but like I said it was already looted when our forces got there.

but like I said

Why should I care about what you said? When the good colonel who was there said it all: They [U.S. forces] didn’t try to stop the looting, says Colonel Madere, because “there was no directive that said do not allow anyone in and out of this place.”

It is a simple statement--His forces were there in position to stop the looting but had no orders to do so nor to secure the site. Why are you having such a hard time with it?
