steel bottles, all of which contain some mustard agent that was drilled out of these mustard bombs and extracted for testing. it will destroy about 1,400 or so mustard bombs themselves. ones that are leaking or that have been drilled into or otherwise somehow messed up or compromised. they will all get exploded inside this destruction chamber. which with a nine-inch-thick steel wall, right. but those 1,400 shells, and those dozen steel bottles, the first of which they destroyed today, those are only a tiny proportion of what we ve got on hand. and what they have to destroy at pueblo. there are 780,000 mustard bombs at pueblo, colorado, that we have got to destroy. 780,000. and other than those 1,400, all the rest will be destroyed by something else that you own as a u.s. taxpayer.
