Wonder how many people have figured out that if Saddam didn't mark his chemical weapons, how many times did the weapons inspectors walk right past his stockpiles?

You know I've been having similarly nasty thoughts. Also, aren't we detonating some ordnance we find? That would be a very VERY bad "oops".

That's what kills me about the inspectors. Did they really expect the WMD would be marked with signs and placards? "THIS WAY TO THE WMD STOCKPILES----> "

I kept trying to have blind faith that the inspectors knew what they were looking for, whether or not it was "properly labeled," but I also kept reading things like "Chemical weapons are painted green" or other such silly nonsense. If they were actually only looking for WMD that were clearly/properly marked, then no wonder they found less than was expected. If I am "the enemy" I'm sure not going to properly label my illegal stuff! But I guess we continue to fool ourselves and think the enemy plays by the same rules that we do.
