Did the Reporter on the 18th see any empty storage facilities.
If not, then the Pentagon is lying.

reporters on 18th only inspected 6 buildings... It is possible that others were emptied of ammo. However, I imagine it was ammo, not HMX or RDX that were destroyed by the soldier on the 13th...assuming for the moment that his account is true.
I think the pentagon is simply trying to obfuscate the issue now, but it isn't working very well, as the video on the 18th clearly shows HMX explosives still there, undisturbed and undestroyed, five days after this guy is talking about destroying ammo at the facility.

The issue is that you have dangerous materials that can be used by terrorists, tagged by IAEA. You have them notifying the pentagon. You have proof that they can't account for it.
They still are not able to explain this.

3. From what I understood.. |

The Pentagon was simply confirming that the destroyed some explosives, but are unwilling to say whether or not they were the same 380 tons of weapons that were talked about. In other words, this was a diversion, as well as the satellite photos of the semis (as if we have never seen satellite photos being used to spread falsehoods). Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I certainly am not a foreign policy buff.
