Cache of Explosives Vanish in Iraq

It must be a miracle! 380 tons of explosives have disappeared from their location on an Iraqi military base. Where could they have gone? Hmmmm....let's see. They might be in the hands of terrorists. No, that wouldn't be possible because the only terrorists in Iraq are foreigners, so they wouldn't really know where to look for these caches of weapons. Maybe the Baathist loyalists that we hear so much about knew exactly where the weapons were and just drove up, loaded them in a truck, and drove away...but wait, wasn't this valuable stash of Iraqi explosives being guarded? Surely! I imagine that one of the Coalition Partners were responsible for guarding these explosives--Poland probably!

Maybe aliens landed their spacecraft on top of the weapons bunker and transported the explosives to their cargo hold so that they could fight the rebels on their home planet of Znafrov, or not... Give me a minute, I will think of someone who could have stolen these explosives...who would have known precisely where they were located...could have cleared security checkpoints. I know! Ahmed Chalabi! The perfect foil for the crime. No, no. He was once America's ally...he wouldn't have stolen these weapons. Maybe it was the insurgents led by Moqtada al Sadr.

It is really hard to know who the culprit could have been; however, we DO know that the military base was supposed to have been guarded by the AMERICANS!! Hmmm...could WE have these powerful explosives stashed away at a different location? Could WE have forgotten to inform the Iraqis that we were moving them for safe keeping? Or, could WE have simply decided they weren't worth guarding and left them for the looters? Silly us; what were we thinking? Can we count this episode as another example of the fine work we are doing in Iraq to control the country and to help create a peaceful environment? Who needs additional troops? We can just let the looters and the insurgents have the place!
