On Israeli satellite - photos of HUGE trucks taking stuff into Syria.

I think it's a safe bet some of the stuff from "Al Caca" was in them.

I'm not so sure... this stuff really wasn't all that unique or hard to come by. We're talking fairly garden variety explosives here. Sure... it's better than good old fashioned TNT, but it really isn't all that different, either. We're talking about components for Plastique or C-4 here... it's not like this stuff is some kind of rare commodity in the world.

As I said on another thread, but will paste in here because I'm lazy:

I do wonder why they (NYT & 60mins) thought this was a big deal... I mean... we've located and destroyed some 400,000 tons of ordnance so far. This seems like quibbling. It's no secret that all of Iraq is an enormous ammo depot. At the end of the day, we're talking about ordinary explosives, much of which we already know is in the hands of the bad guys, cuz they've been blowing up stuff.

Why is this really even news?
