Thanks for that and I will try...:-) It wasn't exactly rocket science. Once I did the math, it became obvious that if the stuff had been there at all, and then had been moved, it had to be either us or the Iraqis under Saddam. No one else in the region, save the Israelis, has that level of transport capability.

My post is a couple of days old. It was a rhetorical question. Why would missing explosives be kept secret?
Obviously the bad guys would know they had them, so there's no military advantage.
More importantly, the fact of their being was never really secret, so any attempt to keep it secret would be stupid.
The simplest answer is that they disappeared in the run up to the war and have never been accounted for. Lots of things in Iraq fall into that category.
