Among the many things I find unbelievable and outrageous about this is Rice's assertion that she only found out about the missing explosives about a month ago. She's the National Security Advisor. What the fuck does she do all day?

But don't worry.

Bush spokesman Scott McClellan played down the threat. He said the administration's first concern was whether the weapons missing from the Al Qaqaa military installation posed a nuclear proliferation threat, and he said they did not. "We have destroyed more than 243,000 munitions," he said. "We've secured another nearly 163,000 that will be destroyed."
At the Pentagon, an official who monitors developments in Iraq said U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives were intact. Thereafter the site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

We checked to see the explosives were there and then we left.
