I continue to wonder just how much stuff is still buried, hid in warehouse and homes etc.. There must be literally thousands of tos of ordnance, rockets, RPG, mortars, small arms ammo and weapons still in around. I bet once we leave the Iraqi's will be finding stuff for years. All we heared about a year back where estimates being given that the best guess Iraq had 600,00 tons of ordnance. And we have heard no recent reports as how much thus far has been found and destroyed.
The country of Iraq was literally an armed arsenal.

People are still finding Nazi WW2 caches in Europe (it just doesn't make the news). Losing armies have a long history of leaving behind ordnance that they couldn't fire.
Heck, in the past 5 years I've seen at least one article on U.S. civil war ordnance (C.S.A.) from the 1860's being discovered in the South!

I agree with your thoughts re enormous caches being found almost daily. What I can't figure out is how they got there and when they were established. Is it all Iraqi army surplus, or trucked in? Again - how and when?
