While the media seems to understand that the missing explosives are a story, they haven't, as far as I have seen, addressed why.
For me, once it became clear that after the fall of Baghdad the securing of WMD sites wasn't a top prioirty (though finding them was), I knew that the Bushies weren't genuinely concerned about WMDs as a threat. They wanted to find them for propaganda purposes, but they weren't actually worried about them.
And, then, they seemed uninterested in securing even the conventional sites.
But, here's the deal. The Bushies wanted to prove they could kick ass quickly and easily. The al Qa Qaa issue isn't about a failure of Bush to be omniscient. It's about a failure of the administration to commit sufficient troops to cover all bases.
