Saddam Hussein did a better job keeping dangerous
explosives out of the hands of terrorists than George Bush.
Or as we learn in today's
NYT, 380 tons of very dangerous explosives have gone
missing in Iraq. Despite the fact that we knew about them and were
explicitly asked by the International Atomic Energy Agency to safeguard this particular cache.
The bomb that brought down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland,
in 1988 used less than a pound of the same type of material, and
larger amounts were apparently used in the bombing of a housing
complex in November 2003 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the blasts in a
Moscow apartment complex in September 1999 that killed nearly 300
people. The explosives could also be used to trigger a nuclear
weapon...
But shhh! George Bush is making us safer by invading Iraq. Despite the
fact that Iraq was in no way a threat to the US. At least, it wasn't a threat until we
destroyed the country and turned it into a haven for terrorists.
