The United Nations, trustworthy purveyor (along with the New York Times) of the Global Truth, is reporting that almost 380 tons of high explosives are missing from a site in Iraq.

John Kerry, whose campaign issues are increasingly drawn from the pages of the morning’s New York Times, uses this news to attack the President: Kerry Slams Bush for ‘Great Blunder’ in Iraq.

Kerry said terrorists could use the material “to kill our troops, our people, blow up airplanes and level buildings.”

“This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the greatest blunders of this administration and the incredible incompetence of this president and this administration has put our troops at risk and this country at greater risk.”

I guess John Kerry feels we were safer when the material was in the hands of Saddam Hussein, because after all … Saddam was no threat, even though … he had hundreds of tons of high explosives that could be used to manufacture nuclear weapons, but … he had no plans for WMD … uh … but …

I’m getting a headache.
