October Surprise

American troops fail to stop 350 tons of high explosives from being stolen - Shock Horror !! Surely the Commander-in-Chief should resign.

Anyone think this will have a bearing on the election?

The Bush supporters say that it could have been stolen even before US troops got there. What I find at least equally interesting is that although the US military command knew about it even before the invasion, it was only recently discovered that the explosives were missing. Bush, of course, says that pointing all this out is an insult to the troops in the field, taking his usual amount of "credit" for anything that goes wrong.
