But we supposedly had control of this facility for some number of years.
Are we to believe that we knew they were there all this time and did nothing and not a peep about it leaked out to the media?
How could they move them back there (from wherever) when ISIS has only just overrun the facility?
Lorianne, I’m not sure. Is it in the same lab? If so, you make a good point. If it’s buried somewhere different, then I could have been hidden.
The CIA report was classified for who knows how many years. Came up on a Google search this week. Not only did the classified people know they were there, but we do not know exactly what was there. Simply because the bunkers were too dangerous to enter. It tested positive for WMD agents. The Baathist helping ISIS probably know because they were in the facility before it got bombed and before it was cemented shut, and they went to this facility. If it was dangerous and they did not want anything, they would have left it alone.
At any rate, a bunker too dangerous to enter is a perfect place to hide stuff. Would just require some suicide volunteers.
Also the inspection teams did find some WMD manufacturing equipment that did appear to be intact and not busted up by UN inspectors.
There are also many miscellaneous WMD items and components just buried deep in trenches.
