Strange how ammo allegedly missing for 18 months, is now killing our troops. What the hell were they using before, the great election eve revelation by the Kerry kissing Bush bashing, rectums associated with the UN? Spit balls?

No, that is Kerry who dreams of wars fought with spit balls, isn't it?

col. hunt is a fine man of courage, but he puts his foot in his mouth far too often and lets himself be used by the pundits. very knowledgable, not very good at holding his ground with words.

I saw the interview and Col. Hunt didn't say it was the Al QaQaa ammo that was being used on our troops. He was referring to a DOD estimate that Iraq had 1,000,000 tons of ammo and we had only captured/destroyed 600K. The rest was available to the insurgents from ammo dumps or on the black market.

Issue: One of the facts that emerged from this ammo discussion is that there are 10,000 ammo dumps in Iraq. We keep hearing there weren't enough troops sent in to guard them all. The Al QaQaa facility is one of them and it would take hundreds of soldiers to guard. It goes on for miles and miles.

Question: If it takes an average of 100 soldiers to guard an ammo dump round the clock, doesn't that mean we would have needed 100 X 10,000 troops? That's a million soldiers - clearly impossible.

IMHO, we're being bombarded with a pair of fallacies:

  1. That it's possible to address every contingency in a war, and
  2. That you shouldn't prosecute a war until you have addressed every contingency.

I thought Geraldo was a bigger threat to our guys when he was broadcasting troop locations. Nice to see he has grown a case of concern for their well being./s

Hunt is a hack! He was a Col. during the first Gulf War and has never set foot in Iraq! He is worthless as far as commentary IMHO!
