so what is this now: cnn reports american troops stood by when al qaqaa
was looted - outnumbered and unable to do anything. why do they tell us
so late?
well, it's not as it this was in any way surprising. even if the
explosives would have been looted before the fall of baghdad - and
there's a lot that contradicts this hypothesis - it's incompetent of
whomever was responsible for the planning.
