You are NOT correct. You keep citing the same discredited ABC report. Moreover, the report itself relies on anonymous sources. And what you cite, as it turns out, has little to do with the actuality of the situation -- as reported by NAMED officials: But Fleming said most of the RDX — about 125 tons — was kept at Al-Mahaweel, a storage site under Al-Qaqaa's jurisdiction located outside the main Al-Qaqaa site. She also said about 10 tons already had been reported by Iraq as having been used for non-prohibited purposes between July 2002 and January 2003. "IAEA inspectors visited Al-Mahaweel on Jan. 15, 2003, and verified the RDX inventory by weighing sampling," Fleming said. She said the RDX at Al-Mahaweel was not under seal but was subject to IAEA monitoring. "IAEA inspectors were in the process of verifying this statement ... and would have proceeded later had they stayed in Iraq," Fleming said. The nuclear agency's inspectors pulled out of Iraq just before the U.S.-led invasion and have not been allowed to return for general inspections despite ElBaradei's requests that they be allowed to finish their work. The agency became involved at Al-Qaqaa because of the presence of 214 tons of HMX, which — like RDX — is a key component in plastic explosives but also can be used as an ignitor on a nuclear weapon. Fleming said it was the HMX that was the agency's main focus. techstocks.com

Apology for what? For a MAYBE? LMAO! As I said before, here are the facts with NO MAYBEs: January 2003 IAEA ACTUALLY INSPECTED physically the site. The explosives were there. The U.S. military unit who were supposed to search for that stuff: "One of the first U.S. military units to reach the Al-Qaqaa military installation south of Baghdad after the invasion of Iraq did not have orders to search for the nearly 400 tons of explosives that are missing from the site, the unit spokesman said Tuesday." Embedded reporter: "Reporter Lai Ling Jew, who accompanied the Army's 101st Airborne, Second Brigade, said her news team stayed at the base for about 24 hours en route to the capital. "There was NOT a search," she told MSNBC, an NBC cable news channel. "The mission that the brigade had was to get to Baghdad. ... As far as we could tell, there was no move to secure the weapons, nothing to keep looters away." These are ACTUAL FACTS with ACTUAL QUOTES! No ifs ands or buts. No MAYs or MAYBEs. FACTS FACTS FACTS!!! So Bush screwed it up again. And the fact remains that because of Bush 380 tons of explosives were handed to the terrorists and have been killing Americans. Bush is a traitor and guilty of TREASON!
