First Tora Bora, the Iraq. What does David Kay say about Al Qaqaa?
"Al-Qaqaa had been heavily looted in April and May," said Kay, who left Iraq at the end of 2003 after reaching the conclusion that the country did not have weapons of mass destruction. Kay, who first visited Al-Qaqaa as a U.N. inspector in 1991, said the facility was not guarded after the U.S.-led invasion in early 2003 and was not being guarded when he left Iraq. "The extraordinary thing would be to find a site that was really guarded," Kay said. But, he added, the facilities were numerous and often encompassed hundreds of acres. "There weren't enough troops to guard the ministry buildings," Kay said. "It's a result of not having enough troops on the ground. And it would have been a very large number. This is not a small thing."
Emphasis mine.
