> Even if this Pearson is right, what happened to the other 180 tons?

160 tons. 320,000 lbs.


There were 380 tons; Pearson claims he removed 200 tons.....probably by himself since no one else seems to know what the hell he's talking about.

380-200 = 180 tons.

This quantity of explosive is totally insignificant in the overall scheme of things.

180 tons is insignificant? Who are you fooling?

If you make the argument these were special, ultra-destructive explosives, then they were WMD by any reasonable definition (or at the very least, components of WMD) which obviously justifies our presence there.

That was a small component of what they were. Most were regular munitions........stuff that the insurgents could use against our guys. There is no argument. Its pure, unadulterated incompentence!
