NBC News: Miklaszewski: “April 10, 2003, only three weeks into the war, NBC News was embedded with troops from the Army's 101st Airborne as they temporarily take over the Al Qakaa weapons installation south of Baghdad. But these troops never found the nearly 380 tons of some of the most powerful conventional explosives, called HMX and RDX, which is now missing..."
Can't both be true, now can they?

George W. Bush: "We will ... turn them one against another ... "
Apparently, when Bush said this he meant the MSM in addition to the terrorists.
Any link to the second one, though? The msnbc article linked doesn't mention the embed, and actually quotes an "anonymous pentagon official" saying the troops were there and found the explosives intact after the invasion.
The U.N is not our friend.
I think that if the NYT and the MSM actually thought about what they were saying...they're saying that we skipped over a munitions dump that contained this much explosives. If you're a general planning an attack, the first thing you do is map the enemies weapon stores and other hard targets and plan for either bombing or taking possession of them. It would be amateur of any war planner to let this type of weaponry fall into the hands of someone who you are fighting...it is absolutely absurd.
If they had claimed that there were explosives that the US didn't know about that fell into the enemies hands that would be one thing, but to say we knowingly left 380 tons of nuclear grade explosives unattended it idiotic.
So the NYTimes is basically saying our generals and our troops are idiots and incompetent....oh, but THEY support our troops...yeah right
