Explosives Heist One of the Biggest in Recent History


I've said often enough that the government is either too incompetent, or really isn't interested in protecting us from any terrorists. Well, while they're busy keeping people from carrying nailfiles and cigarette lighters on airlines, why, after four years, haven't they been able to prevent something like this? The facility that housed the explosives was not only robbed two years ago, but has absolutely no security whatsoever.

They aren't even trying, which is telling in itself, that this war on terror is total bullshit!

"Officials say that the amount of stolen explosives would be enough to match the bomb that destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995 and they do not know who might be responsible."

"We don't have any suspect," said Wayne Dixie of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. "We don't have any leads at this point."

"The stolen goods include 150 pounds of C-4 plastic explosive and 250 pounds of thin sheets of explosives that could be used in letter bombs. Also, 2,500 detonators were missing from a storage explosive container, or magazine, in a bunker owned by Cherry Engineering."


What really gets me is that so many people get to see that the government isn't really all that efficient here at home, in carrying out what should be simple tasks on any level of government, and yet, the same people seem to think that those same "leaders" are doing the right thing, and all knowledgeable and honourable, in their operations outside the country.

It's sad, but we really do deserve the leadership we have.
