Explosives lost in Iraq could kill 205 million people

So you can fully grasp what Bush let the terrorists get in Iraq.

1. 380 tons of explosives stolen in Iraq.
2. One US ton = 2,000 pounds
3. So, 380 tons of explosives x 2,000 pounds = 760,000 pounds
4. One pound of this explosive brought down the Pan Am jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.
5. If one pound is enough for one Lockerbie, then 760,000 pounds is enough to blow 760,000 US commerical jets out of the sky.
6. 760,000 Lockerbies times 270 dead per Lockerbie = 205,200,000 dead
7. 205 million dead is 2/3 of the population of the United States.

Obviously, no one knows how many exactly would be killed in each attack - some attacks would kill more people (by blowing up over Paris) and others fewer (by not working at all). But the main point here is that we just gave them enough explosives to try 760,000 times. Think about that.
