Sounds like a deliberate failure by ISG in regards to CJTF-7.
Lots of questions in this piece.

big pile of WMD still fits in a relatively small hole in the ground. Iraq has a LOT of ground.
The people that hid this crap are Saddam's family. They ain't talking. What bothers me is when they decide to dig it up are they going to - A, sell it to the highest bidder among the Islamic fringe, or B, use it themselves in Iraq because they feel they have run out of room.

Good post.
This brings to mind that question that Hillry asked Dr. Kay when he appeared before Congress.
Why did you leave your job?.......I wondered then why this was Hillry's question and still wonder why.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
I would agree that it is *way* premature to make any judgements of WMD stockpiles and programs in Iraq.
That the programs were intact and functional is even admitted in the Kay report.
I have a question for these folk that I haven't seen much on yet: If there really *are* stockpiles of VX gas, Mustard gas, whatever gas, and whatever bio agents being found in the various hundreds of munitions depots around Iraq... and the mere task of locating and destroying the agents is something that will take many months or years...
Would we actually want to admit it? No... we wouldn't. The last thing we'd want is for the various Al Queda types to have a que to get in there and go prospecting for agents before we had a chance to locate and destroy all of them.
Would Bush fall on his sword over WMD in Iraq instead of spilling the beans on a critical op like this? Yes, I believe he would.

The conditions of his "contract" were not being met...
To: marway
Everyone else was focusing upon his explanation for not finding WMD's and out of the blue Hillry ask this question.
Kay's response was as though he knew he would be asked that question. Why Hillry wanted that on the record is what I found strange.
Kay's book writing may explain why the question was asked, blaming President Bush for not meeting the requirements of him staying on. I don't know it was a strange question, for no apparent reason.
To: Just mythoughts
His reason for leaving was they pulled some of his resources, troops were needed for other more pressing issues.

Doesn't anyone find it hard to believe that only 10 of the 130 known ammo storage sites were ever inspected???
To: jungleboy
They need to start by searching the boxes that say "Made in France" or "Property of Kofi Annan". They always seemed more nervous about weapons inspectors than the Iraqis did.
To: Just mythoughts
Her question was designed to set the stage for establishing that (should the wmd turn up) that they would have been found sooner had Bush done his job properly.
My take is that Kay may soon be deployed to Kerry's potential benefit.
