Explosives stolen in Iraq

are you saying that the IAEA were allowed to inspect post invasion?

What I’m saying is Ruthie quoted The New York Times in that post and The New York Times are the one’s the “broke” the story.

Yeah...

And now others are refuting...

Whats your point?

Wasnt exactly Pravda or The Drudge :blink:

But even your beloved foxnews ran the story.

But even with your point about his quote being from the "breakers"...i still ask if you are saying that the IAEA were allowed to inspect post invasion?
Obviously they did pre invasion because the seals would be on them and they knew where they were....the question is at what point did they go missing and there is a discrepency between what the pentagon said "then" and "now"

There are certain solid facts (supposedly)

1. the munitions existed
2. they are unaccounted for (but so are many)

The dispute is in the time they disapeared

Rat Drudge didn’t pick up one the story until NBC reported it last night. Is that reputable enough for you?

I said that reputable sources were disputing it earlier.

Arent you reading the posts in this thread?

Vid NBC had an journalist embedded with the 101st Airborne and they made a pit stop in Baghdad before moving on and no one reported coming across a huge weapons cache.

I think he's probably basing it on this, you know what liars they are in the pentagon, so the opposite is obviously true. :dry:

At the Pentagon, an official who monitors developments in Iraq said U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, which had been under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. The site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

did they look everywhere then?

But if you look at that info could it be that they wern't securing places?

I made a pit stop in NY a while back...i didn't come across the statue of liberty

but again i say it doesn't matter if this story turns out to be spin...it's well known that unsecured sites are being looted
