The fox talking head also just quoted 300,000 tons of explosives at this area instead of 380 tons... he was a little off.

I think Dirita did a fantastic job of pointing out that this 380 tons is 1/1000th of the total munitions we have destroyed in Iraq.

Analysts said that Iraq/Saddam had around 1 million tons of munitions.

1,000,000 tons

This one site represented some 380 tons -- a drop in the bucket of the total munitions.

The media are wanting account of 380 mosquitoes in a nest of 1,000,000.

There was one pile of munitions the military found. I remember one of the 'guards' say they were destroying/exploding the pile in segments, 24 hours per day. And even at that constant rate it was going to take YEARS to destroy it all. The media (except the embeds and those who bothered to go to Iraq) have no concept of the amount of munitions Saddam had.
