To mention just one, we commonly read that there were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq. Well, it’s not totally accurate. There were means to develop weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and known to be in Iraq. They were under guard by U.N. inspectors, who were dismantling them. When Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and the rest sent in their troops, they neglected to instruct them to guard these sites. The U.N. inspectors were expelled, the sites were left unguarded. The inspectors continued their work by satellite and reported that over a hundred sites had been looted, in fact, systematically looted, not just somebody walking in, but careful looting. That included dangerous biotoxins, means to hide precision equipment to be used to develop nuclear weapons and missiles, means to develop chemical weapons and so on. All of this has disappeared. One hates to imagine where it’s disappeared to, but it could end up in New York.

WASHINGTON — Three Iraqi warehouses filled with 2,500 barrels of uranium that could be enriched for nuclear weapons -- plus radioactive isotopes that could be used for deadly "dirty bombs" -- lay unguarded for several days this week as Iraqi mobs swirled around.
The facility, known as Location C, was Iraq's only internationally sanctioned storage site for nuclear material. It thus was a potential prize for U.S. forces -- or for anyone seeking to steal radioactive material for sale to other countries or to terrorists.

aussieavodart said:$747.3 billion and counting for you Americans. Ouch!
Only cost us Aussies 3 billion, plus a couple of dead and maimed soldiers but I think we've managed to stash them somewhere so nobody will be bothered by them.
Altogther now-
Mission Accomplished!
