More on the weapons

Apparently the 3rd Infantry Division was at al-Qaqaa on April 4, 2003, six days before the arrival of the 101st Airborne. But is it possible that the explosives could have been carted away in that short time span? Instapundit posts this comment from a member of the 101st AD who was present when they relieved the 3rd ID, arguing that it would not have been possible. If that is the case, then the explosives were never there for the U.S. military to guard, as they had been removed earlier.

Even with all of the controversy swirling around this story, Kerry has already cut and released an ad criticizing the president for failing to properly guard the weapons depot. That requires nerve. Maybe al Baradei is one of Kerry's supportive "foreign leaders."

How do you guard something you are never in possession of?
