Makes me wonder if even saddam knew how much stuff he had buried. WMD?? Hell yes ,the whole country is a WMD with arms buried all over the place. Think of how his countrymen could have lived if they had shared in this wealth. The look at Chavez starting to do the same thing. What is the matter with these tin-pot dictators who starve their countrymen to buy crap.

Perhaps there is still a hundred thousand tons of stuff to be found. We don't seem to hear much about any tallys, as had been voiced during mid 2004 period, where perhaps more then half of an estimated 600 thousand tons of ordance was already found/cataloged then destroyed. But at least we continue to hear major caches found in many of the provinces, as operations proceed. One has to wonder at just what is still buried, and I don't refere only to typical ordanance. I'm still convinced that there are a lot of WMD's buried in the dirt as well as at the bottom of river beds. Picture long lines of 55 gallon drums of precursors for making things like VX and Sarin just to name two.

Days-Long Dig Yields Thousands of Munitions

During a traffic stop, two men were questioned about the fuses in their truck; the information they provided led U.S. soldiers to thousands of buried munitions.

"Just like a good fisherman can look at the water and say,
'Hey, there are probably fish over there,' our guys have
developed the ability to do that (with weapons caches) as
well."
U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Anthony M. Cady

That's a lot of words to say they've learned to smell 'em out! :-)

BTT. You don't just throw that much stuff on the ground and throw some sand over it. It took awhile to assemble it and dig the hole and cover it discreetly. Who, and when? And what else might they be able to tell us about?
