You are right, the munitions involved were more dangerous than those we ordinarily have come across. On the other hand, we have kept control of or destroyed most caches we have become aware of, regardless of precise inventory, which was my only point. More remarkable is the dubiousness of the timeline Kerry has been promoting, in order to blame Bush. Not to mention that Bush would not have been in operational control of the sector, and therefore had nothing to do with the matter in any important sense, a point that is not trivial.Here is something short and interesting: Election Week Surprise? Thursday, October 28, 2004 By Brit Hume The latest from the Political Grapevine: CBS' "60 Minutes" (search) is now acknowledging that it had planned to broadcast the questionable story of missing weapons in Iraq two days before the presidential election. And it's clear CBS had been working on the story for some time, having conducted interviews on it in Iraq last week. But when CBS realized the story wouldn't hold, the network decided the New York Times — which helped investigate the story — should run it first. In addition, CBS knew about a search of the Al-Qaqaa complex (search) on April 4, 2003 — a search that was thorough enough to find a suspicious white powder, and that found no indication of locked materials or IAEA (search) weaponry. But CBS hasn't mentioned that at all in its reports this week. So how do we know CBS was aware of it? Well, because CBS reported it the day it happened last year. foxnews.com
