350 tonnes stolen

According to this CBC Report, 350 tonnes of explosives were stolen in Iraq. A mere 5 lbs of plastic explosives, a for which the stolen goods are an essential ingredient, could destroy a dozen airliners.

If one pound of plastic explosive could be made from a pound of the stolen explosive, then depending on whether it's a metric, long, or short ton, the Iraqis stole,

• 771,618 lbs,
• 784,000 lbs, or
  
• 700,000 lbs
  

Doing the math, enough explosive was stolen to destroy

• (771618 lbs/5lbs) x 12 airliners = 1,851,883 metric airliners,
• 1,881,600 long ton airliners, or
• 1,680,000 short ton airliners.

In all, I am certain they could destroy just about every airplane in the world and have some left over, making this a bit of a silly analogy on the part of CBC. I suspect, given the opportunity, they would use it to defend against the Yankee invasion, or choose to blow up infrastructure like roads, airports, bridges, tankers, and power plants.
