Cool. All that shows is that it was there after our troops arrived. The General just spoke in a press conference and said that munitions were removed and destroyed by his troops and that it would be very unlikely, given the amounts that we're talking about and the equipment it would take to move it, that it could be taken without our knowing it. They've also said that there was mostly military traffic on the road during that time. Probability of looting? I'd say maybe some but not nearly as much as Kerry is accusing. Negligence on the side of Bush? I think not.

How many different excuses have you guys come up with now?
There's an awful lot of squirming going on - any excuse so that the Bush administration can avoid The Buck.

I'm not coming up with "excuses." I don't think anyone else here is either. I'm just repeating what I've hear on the news and trying to figure stuff out.

They're still investigating and are trying to come up with the "facts" of what occurred "before jumping to conclusions." That means analyzing "all the evidence." Part of that includes the video mentioned. It also means including the testimony of the General in charge of that area at the time to put that video into "context." No "squirming" going on. Just careful analysis.
The irony is that if there were careful analysis performed in advance of the rush to war, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
