John, Edwards, Trial Lawyer and Buffoon

About the missing conventional high explosives missing in Iraq, which Kerry/Edwards say were "lost" by coalition forces, but U.S. military says were not there when they first arrived:

Sen. John Edwards: We know that these explosives were
there. We know that the Bush administration was notified they were there … they needed to be secured. We know that they weren't secured and we know that they're now missing. So, those are the facts and the facts are pretty powerful in this case.

Campbell Brown: But they could have disappeared before coalition forces got to that location. [see recent links on www.belmontclub.blogspot.com -- wrecktafire]

Sen. Edwards: But the answer is … we knew about it. We
knew we were supposed to do something about it. We didn't do
it. But there's a chance they were gone before we got there? I mean, that's basically what they're saying. They had a responsibility to secure this material. It was important for securing Iraq. It was important for the safety of our troops. It was important to keep that material out of the hands of terrorists and what we know is they didn't do it. We know that.

Beautiful. In my auditing days, this is what we called a "non-responsive response." I suppose we should have asked Saddam to secure it. Oops, it looks like that's what he did.
