This looks like a total crock to me:

"RDX is a colourless solid, of density 1.82 g/cm³."

That means that one kilo, or 2.2lbs., is a cube about 3.5" on each side...think Rubik's Cube here. 350 tons of this stuff would amount to almost 320,000 of these cubes. That is one huge pile of RDX and enough weight to fill 35 or 40 full-size dump trucks.

I'm sorry, but an operation of that size would not have gone unnoticed. In fact, I think we are the only ones in the area that could pull it off. If there is that much stuff, we have it or the actual quantity should read 350lbs. or 350kilos.

350 tons? Right. If they indeed have it they've only used a few pounds. Sounds like a dump truck full could level several city blocks. I haven't heard of any MOAB sized explosions by the terrorists.

It's now Tuesday and the IAEA letter and NYTimes report is deemed fraudulent, NBC embedded reporter was with soldiers when they got to weapons cache area...there were none there, but that aside...you were "so right" about how many dump truck size loads it would take to move this stuff out! Fox did a visual of what you wrote in your reply and it was stunning! Good job! Keep us posted with your astute insights and information.
