Wonder where Hussein got this stuff from in the first place as well?

Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein acquired HMX and RDX in the late 1980s, in an effort to build a nuclear bomb.

Late 80s.... Anybody probably could have sold it to them, including the US.

U.S. national security adviser Condoleezza Rice was informed within the past month that the explosives were missing, the report said. It's unclear if U.S. President George Bush was informed.

I'd certainly hope that Bush was informed. It may not have been up to Bush to directly put someone in charge of the place, but I'd hope that they'd let him know that something seriously wrong has happened.
I agree though. Someone's head is going to roll for this one. 40 truck loads? It's not possible for that amount to just disappear...
