NO MENTION Of Iraqi Saying Explosives Were There on Nightly News!
Sadly I am not surprised. We live in a country I don't recognize anymore and it is frightening....

Iraq says 'impossible' explosives taken before regime fall

~snip~

The UN nuclear watchdog this week said about 350 tonnes of high explosives went missing from a weapons dump some time after Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s regime was toppled in April 2003 after the US-led invasion .


But as the issue of the missing explosives took centre stage in the final days of the US presidential campaign, some US officials have suggested they had gone before the US-led forces moved on Baghdad.


"It is impossible that these materials could have been taken from this site before the regime's fall," said Mohammed al-Sharaa, who heads the science ministry's site monitoring department and previously worked with UN weapons inspectors under Saddam.


"The officials that were inside this facility (Al-Qaqaa) beforehand confirm that not even a shred of paper left it before the fall and I spoke to them about it and they even issued certified statements to this effect which the US-led coalition was aware of."


Sharaa also warned that other nearby sites with similar materials could have also been plundered.

1. This is where we come in. Fire off an e-mail about it.
I wrote two letters today to my Reps and Senator.
