| In March, the inspectors verified the presence.
Troops did not arrive until April.
In May, inspectors verified the disappearance.
So, we're to conclude looters made off with 40+ truckloads at a time when there was no insurgancy? I think the more plausible explanation is the Iraqi military moved the stuff so it wouldn't get bombed to kingdom come.
Of course, I don't know that to be a fact. However, the statue of Saddam didn't fall until May, right? So the major combat operations and, more exactly, the Iraqi military were in existance. Command and control presumably existed. So, isn't it more likey an organized military moved the explosives used for nuclear detonations and not an insurgancy in its infancy?
