It would be helpful if we could find Saddam and Sons, so that the people who are still afraid to talk will start coming forward with info on where the WMD are/were stored/moved/destroyed.

Don't need Saddam and fellow thugs to tell us where they are. And that's good because they're dead.

The WMD were moved to the Beca'a Valley in southern Lebanon, it is strongly thought. Pre-war satellite pictures show large drums being loaded onto trucks and then the trucks being driven out of Iraq.

In the Beca'a Valley, the WMD are dangerously close to Israel and under the control of Hezbollah. I heard discussion of what can be done to neutralize the WMD. A direct assault is not possible, because of their virulence.

Traditional bombs will not work because a temp of 4000 deg. is necessaary to destroy anthrax, botulinim, etc. A possiblity now in the early stages of discussion is to hit the cache of WMD (once we are sure where it is) with a bunker buster and follow it up with a small nuclear warhead which would produce the heat necessary to destroy the germs. This, according to John Loftus, on WABC radio.

My problem with the idea that "large numbers of drums" were loaded on to trucks and driven out of Iraq to Lebanon is that WE CONTROLLED THE ROADS in the west, and had continuous aerial coverage of movements out there. I doubt seriously that any large number of anything could have gotten across the border. Maybe a couple of people, staying off the roads. I just don't find this plausible.
