No, dear, they didn't. Because the boxes would have amounted to approximately 40 semi-sized truckloads of explosives, and they would have been identified by IAEA stickers, which, btw, the soldiers were explicitly looking for. |
No, the 3rd Infintry unit were
not explicitly looking for those explosives. They were there for less than 2 days, part of which was spent in firefight with Iraqis who were guarding the site. The 3rd Infintry wiped them out, and moved on the next day, leaving Al Qaqaa unguarded. They did search some of the bunkers or buildings, but they did not do an extensive search and they did not look specifically for the IAEA documented explosives. They didn't
know about them - that is not why they were there.
This is a fact that was well established by lunchtime
yesterday. Pay attention.
