"No WMD in Iraq," has now achieved Urban Legend Status, just like "Al Gore's Stolen Victory."

When do you suppose Snopes will debunk this Urban Legend?

"No WMD in Iraq," has now achieved Urban Legend Status, just like "Al Gore's Stolen Victory."

When do you suppose Snopes will debunk this Urban Legend?

Here is a preview.

Snopes.com ........ Claim: Photographs show Iraqi fighter planes found buried in the desert. ............. Status: True. ........... a reported 30 to 40 planes, including several MiG-25 and Su-25 ground attack jets, buried more than 10 feet beneath tons of soil and covered with camouflage netting. According to the Pentagon, at least one of the MiG-25s was found because searchers spotted its twin tail fins protruding from the sand. Some of the planes had been wrapped in plastic sheeting to protect their electronics and machinery from the sand (and some had had their wings removed), but others were interred with little or no protection from the sand or the elements. The recovery teams had to use large earth-moving equipment to uncover the aircraft.
