So I'm supposed to believe that 380 tons of HDX/RDX were looted 18 months ago by Iraqi insurgents, yet NONE of it has ever been used against the coalition! This is the most incredible load of bull I have witnessed to date.
That is an excellent point. Also, if my calculations are right, 380 tons of this explosive, assuming that each ton is equivalent to 10 tons of TNT (a pure guess and hopefully too high), would be in total equal to 3.8 kilotons of TNT, or a 3.8 kiloton nuke. This is roughly about a quarter of the size of the Hiroshima bomb. And this is only if all 50 or 100 or however many truckloads of the stuff were detonated all at once. Even if true, these explosives are not even close to WMDs, so what's the big deal.
