But we've destroyed/seized 400,000 tons these Bush spinners are now saying
400,000 tons ? And Saddam had a million ? Does that mean they've lost 600,000 tons to the insurgents ? Sure seems like it ?

400,000 tons destroyed or seized ? Gee whiz, wonder how much a battle tank weighs, how about armored personal carriers ? not to mention ak-47's.

Wonder what's more dangerous ? 400,000 tons of tanks, apcs, guns, and other assorted weapons that can be used in war zones and easily spotted in the civilian sector.

Or 380 tons of high explosives that can be brought in right under our noses especially under this administration in which we spend 130 billion in Iraq and 35 billion on Homeland Defense.

Only in Bush word, can 380 tons of high explosives lost, 1 pound of which was used to bring down Pan Am 103 (380 tons can bring down 760,000 planes) in 1987, be considered a victory.

1. If 400,000 bullets are fired at you and 399,999 miss, you're still dead

2. They could blow up...
Every commercial airliner on the planet and STILL have plenty of explosive left over.

If THAT isn't scary enough, I don't know what could get through to these idiots.

6. Where is Donald Rumpsfilled?
If the spin is so easy in this case, why isn't he out there singing, dancing, and cakewalking his way through this on national TV? Doesn't this scandal lead directly to his door? Could it be that BushCo is hoping it blows away because they really have no way to spin it?

7. How much is 377 tons?
A fully loaded semi trailer can carry around 45,000 lbs.

377 tons is 754,000 lbs.

It would take 17 fully loaded semi-trailers to haul off that much cargo!!!

The insurgents probably just slipped in during a change in guard duty with their Kenworth's and made off with it... Or maybe, just maybe, Bush didn't have enough troops on the ground.

8. This stuff is what is Required to initiate an atomic bomb...!!! and one
pound is a lot of OverKill to bring down a plane, probably only need a 1/4 oz in the right place. this the worst form of Plastique.

9. It was reported that 1/4 lb. of this brought down the Lockerbie plane.
RIP to the people on board. Still a stinging tragedy. (and now Libya is our friend?).
