bush lets 350 TONS of high explosives fall into hands of terrorists
His idea of how to keep America and Americans safe.


That is the message we need to get out there. This spin will kill bush's biggest argument for reelection.

5. he let 350 tons of explosives
fall into the hands of terrorists as well as an entire nation. The most important thing here is he gave them a cause and a place to fight.

6. Yes! Get this message out there now. LTTE, posts on other boards, emails
whatever you can do to get more people thinking about explosives left to anybody who wanted them!

My LTTE:

Are you safer than you were four years ago? Four years ago, the IAEA had people on the ground in Iraq, keeping tabs on about 350 tons of conventional explosives stored at an installation called Al Qaqaa, (not to be confused with al Queda which did not operated in Iraq under Saddam).

The IAEA had to pull their people out of Iraq just prior to the Bush/Cheney administration’s long planned invasion of that nation. The 350 tons of explosives were left unmonitored. During the ensuing chaos of the invasion in the spring of 2003, and protracted fighting since, all those explosives have gone unaccounted for.

During a time when the administration’s foreign policy has alienated our allies and made recruitment against us easier for our enemies, the US policy makers failed to secure 700,000 pounds of conventional explosives there for the taking by anyone with trucks. Are our troops in Iraq facing more risks because the explosives are out there in the Iraqi countryside? Have any of the missing explosives been sent out of Iraq to be used against Americans in other parts of the world? Are any of the explosives in one or two of the 95% of cargo shipping containers which come into the US without being inspected?

Dick Cheney continues to warn America is likely to be attacked by terrorists if Kerry is elected. Kerry did not leave those explosives unaccounted for since March of 2003!

Mr. Vice President, if there are any explosions in America, it is you and the rest of the current administration who will be held responsible. The policies of the current administration have made the world safer only for those who profit from the manufacture and sale of weapons. The rest of the nation and world are hostages to the climate of hate and violence which war profiteers have fostered to ensure healthy quarterly reports.

9. great letter!
I especially like your closing: The policies of the current administration have made the world safer only for those who profit from the manufacture and sale of weapons. The rest of the nation and world are hostages to the climate of hate and violence which war profiteers have fostered to ensure healthy quarterly reports.

That's the best summation of this utter madness I've heard to date.

8. How could this have possibly happened - think about it
350 tons don't just get up in the middle of the nite and relocate.
