Quite a Load


Captain Ed has done a bit of calculating on just how much would be involved in stealing 380 tons of munitions, as the NYT and CBS colluded to show. In short: It's a lot of work if you assume that it was done by "looters." His conclusion:

"Bottom line this operation would take the resources of AN ENTIRE COMPANY (approx. 100 men) OVER TWO WEEKS, good Intel to know exactly where the 'right' explosives were hidden and a means of breaching huge steel doors and concrete of an ASP."

To boot (or loot), this would have been done under the noses of American spy planes. Which makes me ask: Which is the bigger load -- the 380 ton looting job, or the Times's article?
