I find this story very hard to believe as there is no way all this stuff could have been moved with all of our troops in the area.

Being as this is an ABC affiliate, I have trouble believing it before I even read it!

During that trip, members of the 101st Airborne Division showed the 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew bunker after bunker of material labelled explosives. Usually it took just the snap of a bolt cutter to get in and see the material identified by the 101st as detonation cords.

No mention of UN seals. Note they are referring to Det Cord.

Also....

Officers with the 101st Airborne told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the bunkers were within the U.S. military perimeter and protected. But Caffrey and former 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Reporter Dean Staley, who spent three months in Iraq, said Iraqis were coming and going freely. "At one point there was a group of Iraqis driving around in a pick up truck,"Staley said. "Three or four guys we kept an eye on, worried they might come near us."

So they saw one pickup truck that supposedly moved 380 tons.

The plan is clear....for every credible report we have that the stuff was moved prior to the invasion, the dems will trot out 2 who will offer "proof" of the opposite.

Did I read this snippet right? Only now, a year and a half afterward, and only using GPS and interviews do these guys THINK they were at the QaQaa site????

How hysterical is that? They arent even sure now if that's where they were.

And how do we know where these storage drums were filmed? They could be any storage drums anywhere.

Were these guys legitimately embedded with US troops. Maybe that should be investigated first, before we fall for YET ANOTHER LEFT-WING LIE.

Why is there no Arabic on these containers? And why are they all labelled in English, at least that I can see. I heard one soldier on some show say that what he saw there was mostly written in French and German.

Correction from earlier, "1.1" on the orange IATA label is the least stable: in other words, a "mass explosion hazard."

The KSTP photographer who was on site in Iraq is currently being interviewed on KSTP-AM, 1500. Interesting.

I found it! A pic of explosives seals!In the video, there was definitely NOT one of these sealed on the bunker they clipped open.

The tape raises many questions such as:

1) Where were the rest of the explosives when our troops arrived? The tape shows some barrells, but is is clearly not 380 tons.

2) Where were the U.N. seals that were supposed to be on the storage facility entries? The soldiers simply cut locks of the doors to gain access, and they did not have to break any UN seals. This would indicate that the facilities were entered prior to the US's arrival and from appearances most of the 380 tons was gone before we arrived.

3) The cylindricl objects shown in the video are primers of some sort. Are they included in the UN's "380 tons" estimate? What about the primer cord that was shown?

4) If the 380 tons of explosive are such a huge danger to national security, why is it that John Kerry felt save with Saddam Hussein maintaining control of 600,000 tons of these same types of explosives? The 380 tons represents 1% of the amount of explosives the U.S. has captured and/or destroyed since invading Iraq. What was John Kerry's specific plan to secure these explosives that, by his own estimation, are extremely dangerous.

5) If, as John Kerry has said, these explosives could be used as a detonating device for a nuclear weapon and if they are so terribly dangerous, why did the UN insist on letting Saddam keep the explosives? I thought the UN security council resolutions demanded that any WMD components had to be destroyed. Were the UN inspections so ineffective that they allowed Saddam to maintain control of these "nuclear detonating devices"?

du is saying this is their smoking gun. what do you all think?

didn't the IAEA docs say that there was another entrance to the bunkers that could be used to remove weapons? (if that is so, why on earth wouldn't they seal that door too?)
