Incredible Incompetence

Ever wonder where all the explosives have come from that are being used against our troops in Iraq? Our incompetent Defense Department had no plan to secure all the weapons, much less anything else in Iraq after the invasion. Check out Joshua's great article.

Some 350 tons of high explosives (RDX and HMX), which were under IAEA seal while Saddam was in power, were looted during the early days of the US occupation. Like so much else, it was just left unguarded.
