How much is 380 tons?  On a radio report tonight I learned that it would fill 40 truck loads to move 380 tons of explosives!  One pound of such an explosive can bring down an airliner, and we&#8217;ve given away 40 truckloads of the stuff.<\/p>\n<p>George Bush led us to war against a nation to hunt for weapons and terrorists that were not there.  And now that we are there, we&#8217;ve opened the door to the terrorists who weren&#8217;t there to begin with, and let them help themselves to the explosives that they&#8217;ll be using to kill American soldiers and civilians for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>We shouldn&#8217;t be discussing another 4 years in the White House for Bush, we should be discussing the length of his prison term for gross incompetence.  And they impeached Clinton over a blow job.
