Missing ammo - another round

Jesus' General gives us the rationale behind the failure to guard that ammo...

We didn't have enough troops to guard both the oil ministry and the explosives bunker. One of them had to remain unguarded.

Getting control of the oil was more important. Otherwise, the insurgents wouldn't have pipelines to blow up using the looted HMX and RDX.

D'oh!

Some might also question why we spent our time toppling statues rather than guarding the bunker. They're just showing their ignorance. Toppling the statues was the first step in achieving the vibrant democracy we're seeing in Iraq today.


That's why it took so long for own democracy to flourish. Our founding fathers didn't get it started with a killer photo op--they had to wait years for a painting to be made. We didn't have that much time to wait in Iraq. Not with all those insurgents running around with explosives.

As for the rest of that post of mine...

The US military said yesterday that a senior associate of of the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had been killed in Fallujah in a "precision" air strike. Local people, however, insisted that an empty house was destroyed.

US troops cut roads and reinforced their cordon around Fallujah, with some units moving into the southern edges of the city.

Unconfirmed reports by local people claimed that a number of civilian drivers had been shot dead at checkpoints.

I'm telling you, things are much, much worse than you even imagine. But I think it's only a matter of time before those soldiers who are refusing to perform missions and those who are talking to people off the record about things like this, start talking more openly. And we still haven't heard the full extent of those things that Hersh and various congresspeople said were worse than what we have been shown at Abu Ghraib.

People, there is a horror of our creating happening in our names.
