Sully Agrees, Criminal Negligence

Andrew Sullivan agrees with my post below, allowing the 350+ tons of explosives to be looted is criminal negligence.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE, CTD: This blog has been on the case of vanished and missing explosives and infrastructure from Iraq weapons sites for some time. It was worrying enough when materials disappeared during or just before the invasion. But the fact that large amounts of potentially deadly materials have been looted under the eyes of the American occupation is Exhibit A in the case for this administration's incompetence. And, yes, "criminal negligence" is not hyperbole. In terrorist-ridden Iraq, the possibility of serious weaponry falling into the hands of the enemy and being deployed against American troops and conceivably American citizens is unforgivable. The whole point of the invasion was to prevent this kind of transfer from taking place. Yet, thanks to this administration, it may have precipitated it. Sure, we have enough troops. Sure.

This is no longer an issue of policy but an issue of competence and the Bush administration comes up way short. Even those who supported the war can no longer support the Bush administration.
