WMD does not require 100 acre factory complexes, and the facilities could easily be hidden underground.
That's why Bio-chem wepons are called the poormans nukes.
"Saddam had WMD's. Whether he destroyed them, moved them, or hid them, he had them till a very short time before we came in."
When asked about WMDS my answer is..."Yes. what did happen to them?"

Perhaps they where destroyed, moved to another country or hundreds of thousands of square miles of literaly barren desert environment in say Central Western Al Anbar, or perhaps hidden in 55gal drums etc., in rivers, canals, lakes, simply buried under school childrens play grounds.
The last suggestion always comes to mind as I remember reading some two years plus back, about a report where children where told to go home for two days from school. The playground area was dug up, when the kids and parents returned, the school yard now had a cap of concrete over it.
Bottom line it is a no brainer to envision military crews moving drums, shells, equipment etc., to remote areas and burying the stuff. Just like we saw with MiG21's literally being buried. And quite frankly some of the nerve agents could have been transported very easily across the Syrian border for later use, within those long convoys we have sat photos of, just prior to the invasion. Some of the precursor chemicals to make sarin, tuban, soman, and the VX nerve gas types (remember there are different type VX series) easily could be stored in a deep earth pit, where it is nice and cool, and last perhaps for a few years before any degredation took place. At any rate, perhaps we shall never dig up previous trenches full of drums etc.. It is to easy to hide the stuff in remote areas, where only a few intel officers may have known where crews moved the stuff to, and what it contained.
