This is a country built for war that is populated with so many dumps that it will
take years to go through them all.

Maybe I just don't get to see enough network TV news, but I only heard about the New York
Times story on the destruction of Iraqi military hardware in one place...
The Michael Medved Show on the radio.

Medved said that the NYT hooked up with a bunch of other news organization and they
did a survey all across Iraq about Coalition destruction of Iraqi arms.
The report came back that Coalition forces were destroying about 100 TONS of
AK-47s, RPGs, artillery rounds, tanks, etc A DAY.
And that this is reflected in the black market: at the end of major battles this spring,
an Iraqi grenade cost $0.10 and an AK-47 $5, now they are $2.50 and $80, respectively.

I trust Medved's report of the story...he also said he had to read it twice because
he first didn't believe the 100 TONS A DAY figure, then he didn't believe the NYTs
would actually print it.

"100 TONS A DAY"

I heard Ollie North report this. He said it would take 5 years to blow it all up.

Where are Dr.'s Germ & Death? Haven't heard anything about them since their capture...
