Then you said,"There must be something rather special about what was found, if the story is true, for the weapons (missiles or bombs,) to be so carefully concealed."
Figure out which side you are on the we can discuss. My original post concerned how somepeople might say nuclear missile" or "warhead" when they really mean just a bomb. A big ole bomb requires much less sophistication than a "warhead" or a "nuclear missile". That was my whole point.
BTW the missiles you reference were anti-aircraft missiles not something nuclear capable. There is absolutely nothing special about a Roland anti-aircraft missile.
Are we going around in circles? All I am suggesting is, the more you have something to hide, the deeper you might bury it, and cover it with six metres of concrete to avoid detection.
As so many other weapons, call them bombs, missiles, anti-aircraft or otherwise, were barely concealed or stockpiled in open dumps, is it too much to speculate that the items referred to in this report possibly are missiles armed with nuclear warheads?
I don't have to figure out which side I'm on. I have been following Saddam's 'career' for a number of years and have always been convinced he would stop at nothing to carry out his ambition of becoming ruler of the entire ME.
