I thought WMDs were nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons only. If it’s just regular explosives, then the term “weapon of mass destruction” has lost all meaning, and every single munition dropped by the USA or anyone else, anywhere, are all WMDs. Then again, maybe it’s that lovely double standard again: a 2,000 lb JDAM is a “precision attack munition” but 2 pounds of dynamite in a citizen’s hands is a weapon of mass destruction.
