It is still unknown as to whether or not the explosives (or the facility in general) had been looted when the 101st Airborne arrived at Al Qaqaa on April 10th.
The CBS article that catzmeow posts above (and butchers, by the way) quotes Lt. Col. Fred Wellman, deputy public affairs officer for that unit, as saying that "there were already looters throughout the facility" and that soldiers searched some bunkers for chemical weapons.
This directly contradicts what the commander of the 101st Airborne unit said yesterday. Col. Joseph Anderson said his men did not search the facility and that he didn't see any signs of looting or obvious damage.
So this question remains unresolved. |
Thank you for pointing that out, Glowdog
You're right, I misspoke when I said by the time the 101st unit arrived because the fact is Nobody knows when it was looted after the 3rd infiltry saw it. Which demonstrates the incompetence of the Bush administration - how can a weapons facility be looted during a time of war and No one knows when, who or how?
I bet you Bush knows where the Oil fields are.... funny how no insugents have been able to burn them - because Good ol' Bush made sure
they were secure
