EXPLOSIVE Spin | Today's Flavor of Kool-Ade

OK. I've heard enough of the spinners now.

The SPIN is IN regarding the 380 tons of explosives.

Hey! It could have been worse!

Yes, BushCo assures us that they have destroyed more explosives than they allowed to be stolen!

Yeah! They only stole enough to bring down 760,000 aircraft, it could have been 7,600,000 aircraft!

And besides, Renhquist has cancer!

So, yeah, it's bad. But, it could be so much worse. We're only bad, not very bad, certainly not disasterous. What if it were 100K tons? It's only hundreds of your children are being blown to bits. If we were really bad, if we were disasterous it could be thousands! (Uh, don't quote me on that.)

Don't you feel safer knowing that you're not in as much danger as you could be if we fucked up even worse? Why do you hate freedom?

Terra terra terra. Boo!

1. Let's not forget we also saved oodles of oil, otherwise gas prices

would be even higher. (thought I say it, before they spew it out!)

2. Top 11 reasons we are safer after Dubya allowed 380 tons of high explosive

Top 11 reasons we are safer after Dubya allowed 380 tons of high explosives to be looted in Iraq.

11. High volume will drive down prices for the explosives buy-back program.

10. CSI Iraq will determine the precise type and amount of explosive used in every suicide-bombing and when all 380 tons have been used up, we'll strike back with impunity.

9. By making terrorism easy over there, we'll make terrorists too lazy to attack us here.

3. this is like their claim to have killed '75%' of the Al Qaeda leadership

except when asked they can't state how many leaders there were to begin with.

Rumsfeld and bush went looking for WMD. They should have at least gone through the motions and secured this stockpile of explosives since it was known to exist and documented by the IAEA.

4. you'd think, wouldn't ya?

and don't even get me started on the looting of nuclear sites....

and, ironically, they didn't even really secure the oil. too much EXPLOSIVES available maybe?

7. bush is inherently, consistently, relentlessly INCOMPETENT

5. Actually, it's 760,000 aircraft ...

Takes 1 lb. or less to bring down an aircraft ...

2000 x 380 = 760,000

I'm more worried about all the Stinger missiles
we gave them when they were fighting the Russians,
though ... Shoulder fired and pretty accurate ...

6. thanks.

math was never my subject. made the OP more scary and outrageous.

8. Those were metric tons

So it would be 380 * 2204 = 837,756
