Yup, I heard it too. I hope it's true and clear and cut. A little evidence might help too. either way, not many people are going to be swayed one way or the other. Look at all of the logic scary supporters have ignored thus far.

Why waste Uncle Sam's bomb juice to get rid of RPGs, mines, and other stuff, when there is some really nice high-grade explosive already provided by Sadaam?? I don't know if this is true or not. I am not sure exactly what you need to detonate HMX or RDX. My (limited) understanding is that they are harder to blow than plastic. Still, I am sure our EOD teams could probably find lots of good uses for the stuff. I know they have blown up a whole lot of UO while over in Afghanistan and Iraq. BTW, found out more info on HMX and RDX. RDX is WIDELY AVAILABLE IN THE US, and is sometimes used even as rat poision. RDX is a very versatile explosive and can be found in everything from high grade military weapons to common fireworks. It has been around since 1899 and is one of the most common explosives out there. HMX is a bit different. HMX is more potent and does not have civilian uses. Still, in addition to its uses in nuclear fission, it is also used in the production of several types of conventional munitions, and even in making rocket motors, but only in small ammounts. There is only one place in the US, and probably not very many places world wide. The facility in the US only produced 15,000 tons of the stuff PER YEAR in the years they have data on. So 350,000 TONS of the stuff seems like an insanely high ammount, so I sincerely doubt that Iraq had that many tons of the stuff laying around. |

All you need is a good blasting cap to detonate either HMX or RDX. This stuff is good stuff for destructs as both explosives have very high shocking power. RDX is for those who don't know makes up 91% of C-4. |

This would be too good to be true. Although the dems would still claim the it means we don't have control over there. I mean, if true, why did we not know what happened to them from the get-go? The pie in sKerrys face would be priceless though!

Pretty much what I thought. RDX is, now that I have done some research, an extremely common explosive used in a ton of stuff. That and PETN make up Semtex. It would make perfect sense for the EOD guys to use this stuff to blow up UO or other ordnance. |

Back in April '03, while he was in Al Qaqaa, little did this poor 0-4 know that he'd be in front of the Pentagon press corps and all of these TV cameras today. He looks nervous.

Easy enough for a pro like him. I think he will still run with this story. Maybe change a little saying that this is all made up to cover up the theft. You know because Bush cannot admit to a mistake and all. |

So, would 400,000 TONS of explosives these guys have blown, constitute WMD's? Just how much HE does it take?

Kerry has shifted gears to the Haliburton "Scandal" anyway. The Bush team will waste another couple of days trying to clean up this lie while Kerry starts a new fire.

This may be the biggest development to help GW win the election. Kerry has spent the last week of his campaign on this subject to only have it debunked. Kerry is really F'd now, not that he wasn't before. Bush can ride this new development for the next 3 days in his favor. Pretty much anything Kerry says now (again, not that it wasn't before) will be questioned. It's over! My early vote is in. I can go to sleep now.

Your average dolt (sKerry voter) hates the military to begin with. But they hate W even more. So, they hold their noses while sKerry claims to love guns, God and the military.
Pressies vs. Warriors - the whiny liberal pressies lose. sKerry and his base have been beating up on the US Armed Forces for the last couple of days. Within the last few hours, the recent references to the munitions have been stricken from sKerry speeches and the sKerry campaign web site. Ha ha f*ckerz. John sKerry ( aka scary) stepped in it again. |

What I keep hearing from the Army EOD folks is that C-4 is often very hard to get lately. The sheer volume of disposal ops in Afghanistan and Iraq have been mind boggling, and have taked their toll on Class V resupply - it makes plenty of sense for an enterprising team to take advantage of energetics found in theater. Also, the insignifigance - relative to how much we have already disposed of - of this supposedly "missing" material is obvious to anyone who wants to look at numbers. Why are the same people who are saying that nobody would have hidden WMDs now saying that someone HAD to have hidden all of these conventional explosives? |

During desert Storm we ran out of conventional explosives to get rid of ordnance and vehicles.
