... as well as anything that was not bolted down.

Mostly a problem for the thieves in the potential damage from long term exposure to unshielded radiological source. 

---I think a suicide bomber wouldn't mind his hair falling out..

Terrorists might be able to construct a dirty bomb, sure, but if they are Iraqi's they would be soiling their own back yard. 

--so it is a good thing that all that stuff (now also 350 tons of high conventional explosives has gone missing) is stolen?


If they plan on transporting it somewhere, it is the easiest stuff in the world to detect as it emits radiation and can be detected with a simple gieger counter. 

---maybe the US should have used those things to prove Saddam hgad nucelar weapons than?

There are any number of less detectable chemicals floating around Iraq that would be as lethal, and harder to clean up.  The only thing a radiological bomb has that terrorists would want is the psychological effect on an ignorant press and public.

So what is your point with all this? Because no chemical weopans have been stolen it is not so bad?? These are the same things Bush has been scaring the world about. And now it turns out that under US command al these materials have gone missinbh and then it is all of a sudden not so bad anymore? To me it is just another indication that Bush is not really interested in the safety of the western world, but in other things. I know we get into a your opinion against my opinion debate here again. I just don't see what Bush has been really doing to protect the US citizens.
