An excellent point, and I have no doubt that Egyptologists and archaeologists could also quickly point to secret crypts, palaces, and even entire cities that had remained 'lost' for thousands of years or more in Egyptian deserts and South American jungles before they were stumbled upon more or less by accident.
I believe that the speed at which so many leapt to the conclusion that there "are no WMD's" in Iraq is not only a reflection of a breathtakingly vicious political bias and a sordid effort to discredit the United States and most particularly President Bush, but also reflects a stunning ignorance of history and a gnat-like degree of patience where if success is not instantaneous then it must mean failure.
It is, however, particularly stunning that this specific find was not in a remote desert or jungle, but in modern-day France, seven miles from one of the most hallowed and visited wartime memorials on Earth.
25,000 liters will fit in a single 10' by 12' room.
Excellent analysis, and I would add that the Al Samoud 2 missle was a reality in Iraq before and during the invasion. It's in breach of not only UN 1441, but also the more important cease fire agreements sighned by Saddam after the liberation of Kuwait.
