Thats the thing, it wasn't crawling with coalition.

Really? We know that, how? The location is on the outskirts of Bagdhad. Even if that's the case, where did this convoy cart the weapons off to without detection?

It appears that video mentioned earlier is that of the bunkers where the explosives were stored. This means that the explosives were there when Saddam felled and the US took over. In addition, from can be determined from the footage, there was a large number of bunkers with seals and explosives which should lay to rest the silly concept that there was only 3 tons.

I have no idea why we had to do so much testing of suspicious substances in the past then. If they're "at or near" the right place and they "look just like" the barrels that somebody saw once before, who am I to question it?

The whole thing begs for fact-checking.
