It is the "Bush Administration" that is incompetent, not Bush directly. However, since Bush hasn't fired anyone for this screw-up (and all the previous mistakes in Iraq), Bush is responsible. This blunder has made the job more difficult for our soldiers and makes the World less safe (especially for Israel since this material can easily be smuggled into that country). The incompetence of the Bush Administration goes far beyond their mishandling of post-invasion Iraq. Their handling of the budget (added $1.5 Trillion in debt in less than four years) is another glaring example of their inefficacy. I can understand how people were fooled in 2000. But expecting a leopard to change its spots is foolhardy. This administration is incompetent and will continue to be incompetent.

I find it interesting how the White House is playing the explosives issue like it, surprisingly, just got announced by the Iraqi Interim Government to the United Nations and that now, therefore, it is in the stream of public consciousness. I guess the Coalitional Provisional Authority, although the occupying power charged with Iraq's security, didn't have had any role. Based on the recent CNN reporting from the Pentagon, it appears DOD has circled its wagons so its top stovepipers can figure how exactly to say when it knew what it knew regarding the missing explosives. You see, the problem is that Bush and Cheney kept telling America that we're safer. These missing explosives--tons, not pounds!--in the hands of terrorists represent quite a a serious upgrade for them to conduct terrorist attacks. For example, do we now know where the Madrid explosives came from? Certainly worthy of consideration.
