Explosives and the lack thereof
Okay, by now everyone has heard the accusations about 380 tons of explosives that are missing in Iraq. Ad nauseum. Two things:
1) They were missing before we got there. Not our fault.
2) We've secured 248,000 tons of explosives. This means that even were we responsible for the disappearance of 380 tons of them, we we aren't, that's a loss ratio of about 0.15%. Not bad, if you ask me.
Conclusion: if you're looking for failures of the current administration, you don't need to try this hard. There are plenty of other things you can point at. Like the largest domestic spending increase in decades. But seriously people, are you really this desperate/unhinged? I guess so.
