Underwear bombs are weapons of mass destruction?

Really?

Here I thought WMDs were nuclear or biological weapons that had the potential to kill hundreds of thousands and do trillions of dollars in damage.

I know I have been accused of unleashing a WMD in my shorts from time to time but I never thought the courts would recognize it that way.

Based on this new definition (small explosive devices capable of killing hundreds and damaging millions of dollars of property), Bush was right all along by saying Iraq has WMD.

    This is what happens when the laws are written by an bunch of lawyers and professional politicians.

    What I am surprised about is the fact that he was not charged with being a terrorist.

    So then the planes that hit the WTC would be WMD...3,000+ died caused trillions of dollars worth of damage not just to property but to the economy... If that plane went down over detroit thousands would have been injured if not killed...look at the big picture not just the weapon itself.

    There isnt a number that determines a WMD..hundreds or thousands it`s still a WMD....why dont you look up what a WMD is
