Well, at least we secured the oil?!

Here's some pretty disturbing news:
"TWO VERY SUSPICIOUS trailer rigs turned up last week in Mosul. The Pentagon called them mobile bio-labs. Maybe, but although they �looked like a duck and walked like a duck,� as one U.S. officer put it, they didn�t quack. The first of the huge, truck-drawn labs, intercepted at a roadblock, had been swabbed clean. The other, discovered Friday, was stripped by looters before U.S. troops found it. So far there�s a lot more belli than casus.
Looters outran the WMD hunters almost every time. �Once a site has been hit with a 2,000-pound bomb, then looted, there�s not a lot left,� says Maj. Paul Haldeman, the 101st Airborne Division�s top NBC officer. In the rush to Baghdad, Coalition forces raced past most suspected WMD sites, and looters took over."
My very suspicious concern is this: Our troops were being very careful to cover all tracks- but, as the sluggish pace of a careful war increasingly looked bad on American TV, the US (per someone's decision) decided to skip over the careful work of containing Iraq and charged straight into Baghdad in order to show clearly just how string we are. While the show of muscle worked (the media went from wondering in the critical sense to wondering in the ohh ahh sense as it watched our troops pull down statues and our president play Hollywood), i wonder if the haste will cost us. Did we skip over WMD sites in order to get on to Baghdad? That's just me being an armchair cynic...but one wonders.
In any event, I am convinced that we had cause to be alarmed that weapons were being pursued by Iraq. Because of that serious concern, I supported an inspection regime that, even if it failed to effectively oust Hussein, would effectively make him impotent. With war comes chaos. It is quite predictable that unsecured WMD sites would scatter into the winds. They have. We are in more danger for it. Thanks Bush.
