I am confused! We have an NBC report that the explosives supposedly "lost by Bush" were already gone by the time we first got to Al Qaqaa. But we have an AP report from earlier in the day that a Pentagon official confirmed that "U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. Thereafter, the site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity."

I think media embedded eye witness accounts, along with 101st airborne personnel trump an unnamed Pentagon official..

Could be one report is referring to to the high yield explosives and the other to the "regular" explosives.

Would you take a look at my post 204 on this thread. I'd like your opinion. I think we may be getting way out on a limb here, based on he way Miklasewski structured his report. Let me know what you think
