7. He removed plastic explosives?
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 11:38 AM by MallRat
Help me out, folks.

Does "plastic" explosives refer to the chemicals themselves, or the fact that they're entrained within a plastic polymer matrix?

In other words, are HMX and RDX powders considered plastic explosives?

9. HMX & RDX are components of C4
Edited on Fri Oct-29-04 11:38 AM by tomfodw
They are used to make plastic explosive. They are not themselves usable as plastic explosive.

I would imagine any soldier being tasked with this duty would be capable of distinguishing between canisters of powder and wrapped bricks of actual plastic explosive.

18. No, the stupid bastards
The pentagon spokesman jumped in and said "plastic" and RDX are interchangeable, sort of.

20. Whoa, the devil just made his 666th post!
Thanks. This is ridiculous. From the rest of the posts, though it looks like the media isn't buying this sow.

17. As dubious as I am about people's ability to think well ...
The Kool-Aid drinkers turned off their TVs once they were told Pooty Poot took the explosives. It's people who dislike the Naked Emperor but aren't completely behind Kerry -- or Republicans who just aren't feeling very motivated to give Bush* four more -- who can be manipulated by this stuff.

Jeez, I've been taking a dim view of this whole thing because the press has taken so many dives and pulled so many punches for Bush* -- if they stand up, it could tip a few more undecided or soft Bush* voters to either vote for Kerry or not vote. That would be good.

13. Oy vey.
I think the guy was probably supposed to say he did this on April 18, but he got nervous and screwed up and said it happened on April 13--which blew the story.

The video that KSTP of the explosives is April 18.

16. Let's have a press conference
To say we did something after the fact.

that we didn't do the things that were reported weren't done?

this was sad. I think this was just to add to the spin and confusion.

He looked so unhappy, once he realized nobody was buying a word of it.
