...so goes nuclear materials to who knows where.

Fine, let's say I except the argument that we had to go to Iraq. The threat from Saddam's as yet to be functioning, possible ability to make weapons 10 years in the future was to much.
Why couldn't we accomplish the one thing we were there to accomplish? $120 billion (and counting) for this?
"White House spokesman Scott McClellan said President Bush wants to determine what went wrong."
What went wrong? You guys screwed up the main goal of the mission, and then tried to cover it up, that's what went wrong.
"McClellan, on Air Force One, stressed that the missing explosives were not nuclear materials, and said the storage site was the responsibility of the interim Iraqi government, not the United States, as of June 28, when the United States turned over the nation's administration to the Iraqis."
Too bad the weapons were stolen in April '03 under the US watch.

This adminstration is still trying pass the buck. Typical, sad, and unethical in the extreme.
"stressed that the missing explosives were not nuclear materials"
Right, I forgot in my outrage: there are no nukes in Iraq! We shouldn't get upset about losing weapons of mass destruction b/c there weren't any to begin with. Ack.
Wow. Am I venting? I used a comic strip expression for exasperation.
