More Qaqaa Hits the Fan

While the president is celebrating our loss of nearly 400 tons of extremely bad shit, here's word that this is only the start of what's floating around uncontrolled thanks to the White House-Pentagon's excellent Iraqi adventure:

From the deserts of the south and west to the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq is awash in weapons sites — some large, others small; some guarded, others not. Even after the U.S. military secured some 400,000 tons of munitions, as many as 250,000 tons remain unaccounted for.

Attention has focused on the al-Qaqaa site south of Baghdad, where 377 tons of explosives are believed to have gone missing — becoming a heated issue in the final days of the U.S. presidential campaign. But with the names of other sites popping up everywhere — al-Mahaweel, Baqouba, Ukhaider, Qaim — experts say the al-Qaqaa stash is only a tiny fraction of what's buried in the sands of Iraq.
