Sorry, Jeff, I wrote hastily. I should have said

You keep on digging the hole deeper. How was it "anti-US military"
bias?
This is a case of being "reality-based" bias.

White House officials reasserted yesterday that 380 tons of powerful
explosives may have disappeared from a vast Iraqi military complex while
Saddam Hussein controlled Iraq, saying a brigade of American soldiers did
not find the explosives when they visited the complex on April 10, 2003, the
day after Baghdad fell.
But the unit's commander said in an interview yesterday that his troops had
not searched the site and had merely stopped there overnight.
The commander, Col. Joseph Anderson, of the Second Brigade of the Army's
101st Airborne Division, said he did not learn until this week that the
site, Al Qaqaa, was considered sensitive, or that international inspectors
had visited it before the war began in 2003 to inspect explosives that they
had tagged during a decade of monitoring.
