C2, you meticulously peruse the article about "tags", while you are silent when it comes to the key issue here: the fact that these known UN-monitored WMD sites containing dangerous WMD materials were left unguarded by the US army, and looted at leisure over a number of weeks after the fall of Baghdad. To me this is a sign not only of criminal negligence but also of obvious lack of resources of the army in Iraq, something that was pointed out repeatedly to the fools that started this war, before they started it. And let's talk about the tags. I don't think the looters cared much about preserving UN tags on these materials, while carting them over hundreds of miles to Jordan under the eyes of our occupying army. In fact, if I were a looter, I would make sure that the tags were removed, so the fact that some tags made it all the way to the Jordanian junkyards must be something of a miracle. Finally, what elephant are you talking about? As far as I know all the nuclear materials that surfaced outside the known sites are ones already declared to the UN and sealed and monitored by the UN -- and looted under our overcommitted eyes.
