Lost: 380 tons of high explosives - Last seen in Iraq
TA Pilot:
Is this your response to everything? I addressed your question head on, you don't want to acknowledge my answer because it doesn't fit with the narrative in your head (ie: Bush=God!) so you ignore it
No....
...as far as your answer actually addressed the questions, I refuted them. Of course, the "we contracted the Iraqis to guard/mopve them and they stole them instead" theory really doesnt need a response. You don't want to acknowledge my refutation because it doesn't fit with the narrative in your head (ie: Bush=Moron!) so you ignore it
Move along then, why do you debate if you don't want to hear anything from the other side? Seems to me your all about bloviating.
Ah.... You cant come up with a good answer, so you admit defeat. I guess I should give you credit for being honest - at l;east as honest as liberal can be.
See, I DO hear your side:
-Bush = Moron
-There isnt any way this isnt Bush fault
-There isnt any way the Iraqis took these explosives before we got there
-No matter how difficult (read:impossible) it would be for the Iraqis to transport these weapons, they did it
-Bush contracted Iraqis to move them because we helped the Afghand agianst the Russians.
And THEN you expect to be taken seriously!
TA Pilot:
What is your definition of "heavy looting"? I picture vehicles being involved.
Holy Crap!!
YOU imagine vehicles!! Well, that sure does it for ME!!!
Now think, really really hard.... it might hurt, but try...
What would US soldiers to when they saw Iraqi army trucks, with Iraqis all around them, in a munitions storage complex?
Anyhow, now to my question. Did Bush know the explosives were supposed to be there?
Wait.... you think that after your answer, it matters?
Why? You havent in any way answered the necessary questions in a manner that would make anyont think that the Iraqis had the capability to pull the explosives out from under us.

I'm not the one making charges - I dont have to prove anything.

Well you are the one claiming the subject of this thread is nothing but an "october surprise" and false. It seem pretty clear to me: high explosives where in safe storage; Bush goes gung-ho into Iraq; explosives are missing. You seem to be on the end that has to come up with some to proof if you want to refute this. The proof for "our" case is already there.

Except for the part where the explosives were there when we got there.
And that the Iraqis had the capability to move them -after- we got there.
I agree-- these are minor points; in fact they hardly matter at all. You can ignore them, if they get in the way of your Bush = Moron premise.
Crazy Cooter:
"Except for the part where the explosives were there when we got there."
Turn on the news TA.
The explosives were there and we didn't secure them. Now they're all gone. Gulianno says it's the soldiers fault it was stolen. You can talk to him about that one.
