--Megaton bombs were dropped at the rate of 260 a day to ferret out the terrorists.--
Megaton? One million tons of TNT? There are no such conventional bombs, only nuclear. That, along with the Las vegas convention stuff, hurts the article's credibility.
This article is riddled from top to bottom with silly inaccuracies.
hahaha yeah, there is no conventional weapons able to produce that kind of yield so pretty much we dropped over a thousand thermonuclear weapons on a small area.
