The missing explosives only represents 1/1000th
of the the explosives in Iraq so the bush administration has done a great job!

AAARRRGGH! - I cannot believe these idiots actually are saying this shit.

Tell the family members of loved ones killed, possibly by these explosives, that the amount is insignificant!

Like Jon Stewert said, my head is going to explode!

And what about all the other countries who have explosives?

Some of them haven't even been invaded at all yet, and most of them are just as full of people who don't believe the US owns the earth as Iraq is.

1. Well this is what I have to say about that. The Bush team has said Saddam
had 1 million tons of munitions, so if we have destroyed 400,000 tons, where is the other 600,000 tons ???

How many tons have the insurgents used up to this point ?

2. If a 1000 bullets are coming at you and 999 miss, but one hits you in the
forehead, does it matter that 999 missed?

:eyes:

3. I like the analogy I read somewhere...
.... so I ran over that pedestrian on the sidewalk, I'd already passed a thousand without hitting any!

4. missing explosives - Osama has them - tell everyone! I am so sick
of hearing repubs say Osama's tape is a gift to bush. It's a reminder of the fact that 9/11 HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH - and he's right, it won't happen (again) on his watch cuz he'll be down at the brush farm playing with his mini-chain saw!

Missing explosives - Osama has them - tell the world!

5. I want to know how they're adding this stuff up.
For instance, one of our M1A1 tanks weighs 60 tons. Does that count as 60 tons of munitions or would they just count the weight of the ammunition load, or just the weight of the actual explosive in each shell?
That "400,000 tons" they keep citing could be just another misleading statement.
What disappeared from that bunker was straight high-powered explosives.

6. R-i-i-i-i-i-ght.
Three quarters of a million pounds of an explosive that is so powerful that less than one pound could take down the Lockerbie plane. Guess we can all relax.

7. 4 hijacked 9/11 airliners only a tiny fraction of the commercial air fleet
So, you see, they didn't really matter all that much!! :eyes:

8. Rose-colored glasses
Mark Twain has a quote from Huckleberry Finn, "The more you lie, the more you have to keep track of. The truth is easier to remember." Won't the next Michael Moore film be a riot (literally).
