You have a weapons dump which they knew the contents of, knew that the location contained high energy explosives, and knew that those would be highly desired by people who mean us harm. If that isn't a priority target, I'm confused as to what one is.

But fine, let's toss out the military from the equation. Why didn't the CIA destroy this facility or render it safe? Why didn't they at least monitor it carefully enough to know when and where those explosives went?

Sure, perhaps they do, and as a matter of state security they aren't releasing it. Or perhaps as a matter of political activism, they aren't releasing it. After this election is over with, I hope there will be a deep investigation into what happened, not by the showboaters in Congress, but by the oversight boards that are supposed to keep an eye on such things.

Sorry, sometimes *$#@ happens. We don't live in a perfect world. 3 tons of missing explosives out of the nearly 500k tons we've secured is a drop in the bucket.
