If this is true, sounds like the Kerry campaign used another false story(i.e. Rathergate). The Kerry campaign should really make it a point to make sure that stories they seize upon are accurate.

Ah yes... it must be a "fabricated" story (and not that Democrats are the only users of this... hello WMD?) ala what you call "Rathergate" (guess he's only useful when he's sitting on stories for the administration - Abu Gharib for example).
So after 9 April 03 they went missing... now I beleive that was after the invasion... hmm who was in control of the immediate area aound this time? Guess it would have been smarter to secure the weapon sites instead of the nearby oil sites huh?
As for everyones edification:
missing are 195 metric tonnes of HMX
missing are 141 metric tonnes of RDX
missing are 5.8 metric tonnes of PETN
These explosive compounds are used to create powerful and stable explosives... such as plastique or simtex or C4. For those that remember the plane blown-up over Lockerbie, Scotland - that was accomplished by 1/2 a kg (1lb) of this class of explosive.
