What happened to the 350 tons of missing explosives?

[youngred]

and furthermore what happened to the investigation and attention to this story? This is a HUGE deal and it just seems to have evaporated.

[skypilot]

1. I'm sure it's being put to daily use in Iraq...

...by rebels and insurgents. TV news reports always seem to mention how "sophisticated" the insurgent attacks have become. I'm sure all those missing explosives have something to do with this "sophistication".

[youngred]

4. oh, I'm sure of that

but what happened to the story. This is appalling that NO ONE is talking about this. 350 Tons is 700,000 pounds, and that's just ONE spot, there are scores of these depots around the country that no one is guarding. Another example of Bush's failure to properly protect the troops

[skypilot]

9. The story.

What story? That "missing explosives" story is so November 2004. Forget that. Look over here: four CBS executives were let go over the "forged documents" fiasco and--AND--Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up!!! Gasp!!!

Get with the program, youngred.

[tridim]

2. Come on.. You know the answer

The media was told to lay off by BushCo, and they laid off.

[mistertrickster]

3. It's being given back to us by the insurgents . . . a few pounds at a time

as a convoy goes past . . .

5. citizen, don't you know such questions weaken our resolve?

or something?

[yardwork]

6. Down the memory hole.

It would be disloyal to the Party to bring this up again. Don't do it or you will end up in Siberia, er, Utah.

[youngred]

8. anythign but Utah!

I wonder where the camps will be?

My gf is from Utah, and she says it's not ALL bad there...dunno if I believe her

17. If they sent me to Park City for my sedition

I could probably live with that, so long as I was allowed to bring my skis.

[madrchsod]

7. you don`t flip over a fully loaded Bradley machine

with a firecrackers...the guys probably didn`t know what hit them

[underpants]

10. Good point

NO you don't not a fully loaded Bradley.

[youngred]

11. cut right through the unarmoured vehicles

it's apalling that no one is paying attention to this story anymore

[theresistance]

16. An Abrams tank was destroyed soon afterwards as well

It's a real indication of what they're up against in Iraq...

[spanone]

12. What? You expect the 'liberal' media to follow-up on a story like this?

It's truly criminal what these criminals are getting away with. They talk of millions in the food-for-oil scandal but little said of the millions (or is it billions) that Halliburton is raping our country for.

[BR_Parkway]

13. Nothing to see here, move along folks....

[AlCzervik]

14. actually i bet many pounds of them have been used already

you other things are happening now, Brad and Jenn getting divorced, Chimpoleons coronation and the media shuffling around to get the best spot there, can't be worring about small things like 350 tons of boom boom sticks.

[WMliberal]

15. they never were missing! stop listening to hans blix, you UNloving traitor

Basically, they're gone and we have no leads. We'll be receiving it in small doses.

[bunkerbuster1]

18. it was one of those ECKS-ADGE-JUHR-RAYSHUNS!

gotta pound the lecturn with each syllable to get the full effect.

[catmandu57]

19. It's like every other story

that could make people wake up, it went away. Far far away, now go watch jen and brad marry a shark or some such junk.

[amazona]

20. well they're still blowing things up aren't they?

The explosives seem to be getting used almost every day in Iraq, sometimes several times a day.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
