The explosives in question were important enough to warrant IAEA monitoring. The explosives in question have specific utility in the production of nuclear weapons, advanced or not. These explosives or ones with equivalent utility are quite common. Calling them WMD is just silly. As for the other claims you don't provide any details but many things are not going to be quickly secured when you invade a large country that has weapons and weapons programs all over the place. Any actual WMD related material has at least been secured from being controlled by Saddam's regime. The insurgents can use high explosives for weapons and mines but they are not going to be producing WMD. Tim
