Or have they?

Or have they?

Nope...sorry man, these are regular weapons. The IAEA already knew about these years ago.

And.....the weapons were their after we had invaded but bush wasn't worried about these silly little explosives but sent troops to protect the more important oil fields.

again... i think you either have poor reading comprehension or selective reading. your own artical is open to both sides. possibly they were there after and maybe they were taken before.

Major says they removed 250 tons from munitions site. Helps explain the situation a little bit.

They may never find the weapons, but i know Bush has the receipt!

hahahahahahahahahaha

OMG. that's ****ing hilarious.

First, Faux News is the source.

Second, why didn't they know this immediately? Moving 250 tons of explosives is a MAJOR undertaking. They would have had to task a lot of equipment to do so. It just slipped everyone's mind for an entire month?

I can just see Rummy and Bush working this one out:

Bush: Find me an officer to say he moved them.

Rummy: But we've already tried to say that the Russians stole them and we showed a picture of 2 trucks saying that the Iraqis moved them prior to the invasion.

Bush: Yeah, but that pesky video showed us to be liars. We need that officer!

Rummy: But it will make you look incompetent! It'll make it look like you don't know what's going on!

Bush: Yeah, I know, but I've proven myself nothing but incompetent throughout this whole war, and nearly half them ****ing idiots are still planning to vote for me.

Rummy: I guess you have a point.

even more interesting:

Pearson's team arrived at Al-Qaqaa on April 13, 2003, 10 days after U.S. forces first reached the site and four days after Saddam went into hiding. This was the same time that the 101st Airborne Division had secured Al-Qaqaa and the surrounding area.
Pearson says they were there on the 13th. The videotape showing the explosives still there was filmed on the 18th. I guess Pearson wasn't properly briefed on what day he was supposed to have been there?

also of interest:
According to Pearson, the team removed 250 tons of material including TNT, plastic explosives, detonation cords and munitions. He arrived at that estimate because he said the team used nine truck-trailer combinations that each could carry 33 tons of material.
No clue as to the distribution of weight. Let's be nice and assume that half of his estimate (which may be generous) was the weapons in question. That would be 125 tons. Where are the other 250 tons that are missing?

hahahahahahahahahaha

OMG. that's ****ing hilarious.

Ok, you just lost all your credibility with me. Anyone who will dismiss something just because Foxnews reports it deserves no credibility what so ever. Its a foxnews article but the pentagon is the source moron. You really need to get your head out of your ass and stop believing all the left wing propaganda on things, especially on foxnews. Why is it that people think is horrible to beleive the right wing propaganda but its OK to believe the lefts bull****? People like vB think that they are more elightened that anyone else when they are just as brainwashed as the die hard republican they are arguing with.

Classic Martin. Well done. :cool:

iraq is the size of texas..so its not easy to hide weapons....i dont know why the hell ppl take up for saddem hussein...if we went over their for oil the gas prices would be alot cheaper..who the **** REALLY goes to war for oil..u ppl need to stop listening to hearsay and look at the facts

when you have a President who was in the Oil business (but still couldn't find oil in Texas?!?!?!?!?) who has long-term friendships with people in the oil industry, and has done very little to gurd these large stockpiles of weapons but has a large contingent of soldiers tasked to guard the oilfields and pipelines, what conclusion do you expect people to draw?

Also, the price of oil is arbitrarily high. Before I moved to Hawaii I worked 12 years as a Project ADministrator in the oilfield. I spent a lot of time in the Gulf of Mexico, 2-1/2 years in Nigeria, and about 2 years total in other parts of the world (Azherbaijan, Trinidad, Venezuela, Mexico to name a few).
Production levels are not lower now than they were 4 years ago. They are actually up about 7%. DOE Report On World Crude Oil Production through July 2004. (http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/ipsr/t11c.xls)
The cost of transportation has not increased as there are no threats to the waterways with the US fleet there.
Oil companies are using the unrest in the Middle East as an excuse to keep prices artificially high and reaping huge profits. I can't blame this part directly on Bush, though. While he created the unrest they are using as an excuse, he doesn't directly control their pricing policies.

i dont know why the hell ppl take up for saddem hussein
Would you mind explaining this comment? I didn't see anyone taking up for Sadam.

Anyways, they haven't been found. The News story was, that they are MISSING.

Group Says It Warned U.S. of Munitions Cache<!--plsfield:stop-->

Official: Site in Iraq Was Not Secured

<!--plsfield:description--><NITF>VIENNA, Oct. 30 -- Human Rights Watch said Saturday it alerted the U.S. military to a cache of hundreds of high-explosive warheads in Iraq in May 2003, but that officials appeared uninterested and still had not secured the site 10 days later.</NITF>

<NITF>The disclosure, made by a senior official of the New York-based human rights group, raised new questions about how U.S. forces dealt with known stashes of dangerous weapons in Iraq after the invasion.</NITF>

Peter Bouckaert, who heads Human Rights Watch's international emergency team, said he was shown two rooms "stacked to the roof" with surface-to-surface warheads on May 9, 2003, in a warehouse on the grounds of the 2nd Military College in Baqubah, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad. The site also included antitank and antipersonnel mines, he said.</NITF>
<NITF>Bouckaert said he photographed the stockpile and gave U.S. officials the exact location of the warheads, but that by the time he left the area on May 19, 2003, he had seen no U.S. forces at the site, which he said was being looted daily by armed men.</NITF>

<NITF>"They asked mainly about chemical or biological weapons, which we hadn't seen," he said. "I had a pretty hard time getting anyone interested in it."</NITF>

<NITF>Bouckaert said displaced people whom he was working with in the Baqubah area had taken him to the warheads. "They said, 'There's stocks of weapons here and we're very concerned -- can you please inform the coalition?' " he said in a telephone interview from South Africa.</NITF>

<NITF>"Looting was taking place by a lot of armed men with Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades," Bouckaert said. He said each of the warheads contained about 57 pounds of high explosives.</NITF>

<NITF>The International Atomic Energy Agency said last Monday that Iraq had reported 377 tons of high explosives missing from another site, the al Qaqaa military installation about 30 miles south of Baghdad, "due to a lack of security."</NITF>

<NITF>Iraqi officials told the agency that the explosives, which can be used to make the kind of car bombs that insurgents have used in numerous attacks on U.S.-led forces, disappeared after the fall of the Iraqi capital on April 9, 2003.</NITF>

<NITF>U.S. Army Maj. Austin Pearson said Friday that his team removed 250 tons of plastic explosives and other munitions from al Qaqaa on April 13, 2003. But it was unclear whether those explosives were part of a cache put under seal by the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency because of their potential use in the construction of nuclear weapons.</NITF>

<NITF>Car bombs such as those used by insurgents in Iraq require about 6.5 pounds of explosives, Human Rights Watch said.

They finally found the them.

You sit on a throne of lies.
