Tons of Missing Explosives in Iraq

The New York Times > International > Middle East > Tracking the Weapons: Huge Cache of Explosives Vanished From Site in Iraq

"The immediate danger" of the lost stockpile, said an expert who recently led a team that searched Iraq for deadly arms, "is its potential use with insurgents in very small and powerful explosive devices. The other danger is that it can easily move into the terrorist web across the Middle East."

Nothing goes perfect in something as large as the invasion of Iraq but this one is bad. I don't understand why some of these things happen but I'd have thought that bunkers like these would have been blown back into the Stone Age.

UPDATE: Where is the reporting that Jim Miklaszewski of NBC news in the MSM? Maybe we should have gone to Iraq earlier.
