Big deal. They found a bunch of dynamite. If this constitutes WMDs, we need to invade every country on earth. Besides, the MSM will probably attribute it to mining operations, or some such industrial usage.

The Baathists probably tried to tell them it was oregano.

I'm sure what they are really glad about is that this TNT is not in the hands of the terrorists! I don't even think they were referring to WMD.

Yeah...I'd be surprised if they DON'T run across this situation nearly everyday. I heard Iraq is one gigantic weapons dump.

The explosives were confiscated in a village... Lemme guess, no one in the village knew anything about it.

Respectfully disagreeing. No big deal.

Is this part of the missing 380 tons of explosives from the start of the war?
To: Blzbba
Who exactly are you chastizing?
You were the first one to even mention the idea that somebody would state that it constitutes a WMD.
Good thing you cleared up that misunderstanding that nobody had.

I agree.
Every less explosive and gun in the hands of the Baathists and Islamocrazies make our troops' job a little easier.
To: Blzbba
I'm thinking a ton of TNT is a pretty big deal. 2000 lbs is enough to clear the stumps from my entire backyard. Assuming I own Montana...
To: Blzbba
no one in the village knew anything about itI sat on the jury for a murder trial once.
Interviews of those present found that 20 people had been in the phone booth at the time of the shooting.
