Leo, the missing munitions story -- now pretty much confirmed with an April, 2003 tape from an embedded ABC News affiliate -- is about more than explosives. It's about how the White House didn't plan for the post-invasion period, didn't send enough troops and how -- time after time after time -- it has fudged the facts and sought to escape responsibility.
In fact, Bush & Co.'s multiple responses and attacks since the story broke Monday is a great example of how he has operated for four years -- especially Bush surrogate Rudy Giuliani blaming the troops.
