2. The amount they're reporting

is 30 tons more than what Josh Marshall said was missing. I guess that's a couple more years we'll be dealing with that nasty shit.

6. Say what?

"The White House said President Bush's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, was informed within the past month that the explosives were missing. It is unclear whether President Bush was informed."

Um... isn't this the sort of thing a president would want to know about immediately? Oh... I forgot... the chimp is 'incurious', and doesn't abide being given 'bad news'.

Suppose if they tell him, he'll sit there and look blank for seven minutes and then run and hide again?

"...its benign appearance makes it easy to disguise as harmless goods, easily slipped across borders."

Oh, yeah, the world is definitely safer now!!!

7. God I really hate Condoleezza Rice

You are the national security adviser you gap tooth bitch its your job to advise the president of these things!

11. Dammit.. She's been BUSY...

She's wandering all over the battlegraound states telling everyone what a Fantastic leader her boss is, and how SAFE he's keeping us..

She cannot be bothered with mundane things like TONS of missing explosives..

I mean, it's not as if the Iraqis have a use for those things, anyway...is it?? It's not like they would try to kill or injure our soldiers..
