Well, now we know:

In the weeks after the fall of Baghdad, Iraqi looters loaded powerful explosives into pickup trucks and drove the material away from the Al Qaqaa ammunition site, according to a group of U.S. Army reservists and National Guardsmen who said they witnessed the looting.

The soldiers said about a dozen U.S. troops guarding the sprawling facility could not prevent the theft because they were outnumbered by looters. Soldiers with one unit -- the 317th Support Center based in Wiesbaden, Germany -- said they sent a message to commanders in Baghdad requesting help to secure the site but received no reply.

No one was interested in the facts and our current president liked about them.

Funny...lie about a blowjob in the Oral Office and you are impeached. Lie about a war (reasons for going, what happened when you got there) and you get re-elected.

Rhetorical

I'm assume that was Sarcasm...because it was not politically advantagous to have somethign like that come out then, nor the information that Hungary is pulling out their troops as well.
