It is funny that I found this thread today. I am in Croatia right now and I keep a journal on anything I feel like writing about. It just so happens that I wrote about this story on page 96. It is very personal and opionated but I will paste it here anyhow for those of you who care to read it.
The big story on CNN today is that 380 tons of military grade explosives are missing from depots in Iraq. The UN was aware of the existence of these explosives, but failed to secure them after the war. It is being reported that Bush said he doesn’t have enough troops in Iraq to guard that volume of explosives. Now, the US and UN are concerned that the explosives ‘may’ fall into the ‘wrong hands.’ (Read, the insurgency and terrorists.)
First of all, who the hell else would want 380 tons of C4 and other high grade explosives? Hint, it’s not Allowah the neighborhood butcher. Regardless of who took the explosives, I feel very confident that they have made there way into the ‘wrong hands.’ Another thing, we have somewhere around 130,000 troops in Iraq. How many military objectives are more important than securing 380 tons of explosives from ‘the wrong hands?’ George Bush, are you fucking serious right now? We don’t have enough troops to guard something like that? What are we, French? I can’t believe we were so sloppy. If it wasn’t for Kerry’s liberal domestic policies, I may support that sorry piece of shit. Iraq is a complete mess. Then again, my source on this matter is CNN international which should be renamed the European Socialist News for the sake of accuracy. Hopefully there will be more to this story other than the car bombs that will inevitably explode thanks to these unguarded explosives.
Well, those are my feelings on the issue, completely unabridged. I hope I haven't ruffled any feathers. They say opions are like belly buttons, everyone has one.
