War for Dummies

It certainly seems like our gov't administration did not read this book before going into Iraq. It's just been reported that 380 TONS (!) of high-explosives is missing from a military storage complex 30 miles south of Baghdad. This site was classified as "medium priority" after the invasion. How can securing vast ammounts of explosives be considered a MEDIUM priority?!? How did this happen? Who will be held accountable? Oh, wait this is a GWB administration - no one is ever held accountable. Out with Bush!!!

Update: Washington Post has an Editorial today on the missing explosives which presents the issue quite well. In true journalistic fairness they point out that IAEA's cheif ElBaradei is not a big fan of Bush and may be purposefully giving more fodder to the Kerry campaign. Even if it's true it still doesn't change the fact that these explosives are missing and that this most likely happened after the US invasion which means that the administration should be held accountable.
