Title: fog of war....
Post by: lazs2 on October 29, 2004, 11:47:15 AM
"WASHINGTON — A U.S. Army officer came forward Friday and said a team from the 3rd Infantry Division took about 200 tons of explosives from the Al-Qaqaa (search) munitions base soon after Saddam Hussein's regime fell last year.

Major Austin Pearson appeared at a Pentagon news conference to say it was his mission to go the facility and clear explosives from the base. He said he did not discover that the International Atomic Energy Agency (search) had reported 377 tons of explosives were missing until Tuesday night and he said he promptly contacted military officials"

The army major said they moved 200 tons not 380.

Why argue, gentlemen? You have been told on TV that evil Russians helped stealing this explosives, so the problem is solved, isn't it?

What a bunch of uneducated dorklickers!

Don't you know that after leaving the shire, all surface bound hobbits arrived on top in the area now known as the Ukrain.

Russian Hobbit Special Forces (HSF) did indeed steal these munitions, I have it on tape!

I'm guessing it was destroyed, no proof yet. Thats just my guess. We'll see how it pans out :)


*edit* I'm guessing it was destroyed is based on IF the Army is the ones that removed the explosives. Again, we'll wait and see how it pans out :)
