The media went ape over missing explosives?
What are you talking about? Each of the major media outlets spent maybe 5 minutes a day covering the story, while always throwing out counters. The most attention this got was an above-the-fold article in the NYT when the story broke.
You do know that all this article says is that some people under Saddam planned to use some of this explosive for making a couple suicide cars, right? They didn't plan to take all 350 tons of it, and drive 35 big rigs into some UN compound. Above about 10 pounds, HMX and RDX need a shaped charge to contain the explosion enough to make the extra weight worthwhile.
This article also doesn't address how the embedded reporter with the Army unit that passed by al Qa Qaa took pictures of football-field sized rooms lined with explosives AND IAEA seals placed over many doors.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

No, gbull, there is nothing unpatriotic about his sig. There is stuff wrong with America, it's something we all can agree on. What we don't agree on is what is wrong.
There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.

ya, i thought so. by saying that he says he doesnt approve of our country and that my friend cannot be patriotism. Hes twisting a Founding Father's words, what Jefferson meant was to have a difference in opinion, but Engi used it in a different context than that.
