500lb of C4 explosive used to bomb to the UN?

"The bomb was hidden in a cement mixer lorry, but confusion surrounds whether it was allowed into the compound - where building work had been going on - or whether it was detonated while parked outside a new 12ft-high perimeter wall. The truck was thought to have contained 500lb of C4 military plastic explosive."

Wow, these "remnants" are real unsophisticated, right? :eyes:

1. Americans will not be able to trust any local contractors...

I remember when America built a new embassy in Moscow during the cold war, using Russian contractors...it was supposed to be the greatest embassy and it cost plenty....but when it was all done, it turned out to be bugged everywhere....

it seems that it was reagun's very expensive boondoggle...

that's what you get for using LOCAL laborers...

Let's just leave NOW...bring OUR Soldiers HOME TODAY !!!

2. Yeah. The Iraqi resistance hadn't used a speck of C4 before today.

But they decided to attack the peaceful, diplomatic and altruistic head of the UN delegation with 500 lbs of C4 in by far the most destructive attack of the entire resistance campaign.

OF COURSE, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!!!

PLEASE IGNORE THE 700 LB GORILLA STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

3. They probably will

It is very easy not to see the gorilla if you are BLIND to the obvious (cough BUSH cough).

4. I wonder why they are using car bombs and not WMD's.
