RXD and HMX are just explosives like TNT. (Chemically they are almost identical.)
They have slightly different properties than TNT, so they are used when different roles are called for. They are only slightly more explosive than TNT and less explosive than Nitro or Cemtex for example.
This is a nothing story. There are munitions bunkers all over the country with more killing power than this stuff.
Right.
And since these things happen were bound to happen when there are munitions bunkers all over Iraq, and the terrorists and Sadd-amite types are working together, what are Deputy Dowd & Co. gonna tell us they would've done "better" I wonder?
Oh, right,they won't.
They'll just criticize it like John "Too many..,err,wait,I mean, too few troops" Kerry did the minute this so-called "story" broke.
