Kerry accepts gift, attacks administration over missing explosives

Kerry Calls Missing Explosives One of Bush's 'Great Blunders'Are you safer today than you were before the invasion of Iraq? That question has been answered with the report that 350 tons of high explosives are missing in Iraq. This is not the October surprise Karl Rove had in mind and the Kerry campaign was quick to jump on it.

Democrat John Kerry said Monday that failure to secure hundreds of tons of explosives now missing in Iraq was "one of the great blunders" of the war by the Bush administration.

"Terrorists could use this material to kill our troops, our people, blow up airplanes and level buildings," said Sen. Kerry, who is challenging President Bush for the presidency.

"The unbelievable blindness, stubbornness, arrogance of this administration to do the basics have now allowed this president to once again fail the test of being the commander in chief," Kerry said at a morning rally.

"This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of this administration," Kerry said.

As I said below this is more than incompetence, it is criminal negligence.
