Allowing munitions and explosives to get into the hands of insurgents is a major screwup. [EOM] Not really. They typically do get access to explosives and munitions, even in cases where the counter-insurgency effort is handled nearly perfectly and the insurgence are firmly put down. Also you are assuming 1 - That there was indeed a significant amount of high explosives at that site after the war started. 2 - That these explosives are in the hands of insurgents. Neither of these assumptions is even close to being a safe assumption. Tim
