If anyone is to blame, it's the IAEA for not working with the US to notify us as to where these high value targets were. So disproved might be a little too extreme. My bad. Presenting the story as "Bush lost 380 tons of weapons" is just as extreme and baseless however.

Actually, the IAEA has told the world about the high value targets. Al-Qaqaa was named in Tony Blair's famous Iraq weapons dossier as a factory whose products could kill many innocent people. On May 3 2003, IAEA has raise concerns about Al-Qaqaa to the US Mission in austria.
