Your math, like your thinking, stinks. One doesn't use a wheel barrow to move a pound. More like, let's say thirty pounds. Let's say ten trips an hour to the waiting truck/car. Four hours=1200 lbs moved by one guy in one night. Get seven guys and they can move 4 tons a night, conservatively. It's not inconceivable at all that those explosives could have been moved in a couple of days. Maybe you oughta go back to writing about subscripts and document forgeries, where common sense doesn't trip you up.

"Are those kinds of explosives even stable during a move?" Yep, those specific high explosives are in apprx.30 pound squares, maybe 2'x2'x2' bundles, and very stable. Our aerial recon could have picked up their movement easily. Just my opinion. Have you seen pictures of the massive dumps of Iraq's weapons? When I first watched the film of them I was amazed. Many are still just sitting there in mile long dumps, inviting any folks to just come take what they want. All they have to do is remove the explosives from the artillery shells. Helluva strategerie we have eh? Sioux
