Ask the families of those who died in Iraq as a result of these weapons not beng secured -- perhaps they will share your uproariously "LOL" laughter and perhaps they will consider all of this just more fair game for official "denial" -- then again, perhaps they won't.

You are grasping at straws. Is that how you practice law?

I'm so disillusioned, here I thought arguing a case was about facts. Well the fact, Jack, is that the FOX news piece answers nothing.

WASHINGTON — A U.S. Army officer came forward Friday to say a team from his 3rd Infantry Division took about 250 tons of munitions and other material from the Al-Qaqaa (search) arms-storage facility soon after Saddam Hussein's regime fell in April 2003.

Explosives were part of the load taken by the team, but Major Austin Pearson was unable to say what percentage they accounted for. The material was then destroyed, he said.


1. Munitions and other material. They took tons of METAL out of there. They did not take tons of "explosives" out of there, because...

2. They can't even acknowledge how much raw material they took. Could have been one drum or one stick of TNT for all we know. Had he specific knowledge that furthered his "case", he would have said so.
