In yet another example of the blazing incompetence of the Bush administration we learn that 380 tons of explosives that should have been guarded when we invaded Iraq were left unguarded so that soldiers could stand at oil refineries.

There was no immediate response from the Bush administration on the IAEA announcement.

But a senior administration official told CNN that national security adviser Condoleezza Rice was notified about the missing weapons about a month ago. Iraq Survey Group inspectors are investigating, the official said.

The discovery was not made public sooner because standard intelligence practice is not to let the enemy know such information, the official said.

I beg to differ- the enemy stole the explosives they already know.
