''Coalition forces were present in the vicinity at various times during and after major combat operations,'' he said. ''The forces searched 32 bunkers and 87 other buildings at the facility, but found no indicators of WMD (weapons of mass destruction). While some explosive material was discovered, none of it carried IAEA seals.''

So it is unclear when they were moved. They could have been moved before the troops got there to inspect them. Regardless, the troops didn't find them when they inspected the area.

The failure to secure the facility is inexcusable, seeing as how twe knew the explosives were there before the war. Too bad Rumsfeld's incompetence is leading to further American deaths. I don't see why you Rs put up with this guy.
