The sad part about this is that leaving this kind of ordnance unguarded
in hostile territory is something one learns not to do in soldiering
101, week 1. This couldn't have been a screwup by someone who knows
which end of a rifle to point at the enemy. It was left unguarded
intentionally. A couple of hundred tons of explosives doesn't disappear
due to occasional pilfering by local tribesmen. Moving it is a major
logistics problem that, in a country under our occupation, just
shouldn't be allowed to happen. Soldiering 101, week 1: If something the
size of an armored division is moving down the highway without your
approval, you investigate.

And no one says it was "left unguarded."


Try google on "weapons left unguarded" Iraq

You will find many who say that.


In the first place, and setting aside the possibility of accounting
error, no one knows when the materials went 'missing'.

It seems quite a few do know this. Try google.
