It would take somewhere around 19 tractor trailers to move this quantity- 380x2000=760000lbs divided by 40000lb capacity in a 40ft trailer= 19 trailers- it's safe to assume you wouldn't be able to 'sneak' this from the warehouse.

Excellent point. The Slimes and IAEA have translated the Iraqi official's letter as describing "looting", which implies a few broken windows and terrorist carrying the stuff out by hand, mule or anything but the huge trailers necessary to move it.

Good catch.

But I'm sure that the press will spin it so that Saddam's totalitarian Baath state simply didn't notice 19 trucks full of high explosive driving out of this ammunitions depot. Of course, these 19 trucks must have been loaded in the moments after the invasion, too. There's no way that Bush didn't know exactly where these were (like the superefficient IAEA did) and have them under his immediate control in a war zone (like the omnipotent IAEA did), Bush MUST have failed to catch the loading of the 19 trucks and where they went. /sarcasm

I bet it's because Bush didn't have a Kerry-esque PLAN. /sarcasm
