The story is being misreported..... The explosives were already gone by the time of the invasion. Not to mention the obvious ass covering by the U.N. "Weapon inspectors determined that Iraq had bought the explosives from France, China and Yugoslavia, a European diplomat said. None of the explosives were destroyed, arms experts familiar with the decision recalled, because Iraq argued that it should be allowed to keep them for eventual use in mining and civilian construction." "The Qaqaa stockpile went unmonitored from late 1998, when United Nations inspectors left Iraq, to late 2002, when they came back. Upon their return, the inspectors discovered that about 35 tons of HMX were missing." "A senior Bush administration official said that during the initial race to Baghdad, American forces "went through the bunkers, but saw no materials bearing the I.A.E.A. seal." nytimes.com.
