[mojogeorgo]

For anyone who didn't see it before, my husband put together a visual to show just how much 377 tons of explosives really is:

1. 377 *2000 lbs

[Socialist Dem]

3. depends

its between 754 and 844 thousand pounds of explosives depending on if they are calling it Gross Tonnage or Net Tonnage

[King Coal]

8. Those were metric tons. 2204 * 377 = 831,142.7284940

[KC21304]

2. 754,000 lbs.

Holy smokes. That's a lot of dots.

4. ..and when some asshole spinmeister tries to tell the public

that "this is point zero one percent of the 400,000 tons of munitions that we have detroyed in Iraq"...I want to reach into the TV and rip their lying tongue out!!


...sorry , now back to my knitting.

5. Remember, that amount is just what we've been told

The actual figure is probably many times that.

6. but...but...but....

Chris Wallace and Brit Hume say that it is only 1/10 of 1 percent of the total of ammo & explosives we have destroyed in Iraq. You surely don't mean that this miniscule amount of explosives could do any harm???

I think I will send your hubby's visual to Chris & Brit.

7. That was just from 1 facility, there were

several other facilities that were looted.

9. To put it another way...

It's more than enough to "blow up every plane in every airline in the world". I think Dan Rather said that.
