Decades later, no one really knows where the bombs are or exactly how many were dumped.

  • Yes, quite a waste.

    They could have been used on Iraq the last 2 decades or so, and would have helped reduce the current deficit.

  • So under Obama's administration if an oil rig blows up because of the bombs, the government can sue the oil company, right?
