Eagler, 11 empty shells isn't a smoking gun.
Iraq can simply claim that due to the extensive number of shells and due to the chaos after the Gulf war, they didn't have full control over what they had. And that those shells never had chemical or biological weapons in them anyhow - they're empty.
The US has lost more than 11 empty shells from their inventory.
Good start, but there needs to be more before Bush can invade Iraq, put in a puppet non democratic government and give the oil wells to US companies, including Cheneys and the one Bush Sr. used to be on.
The hypocricy is so patently obvious. NK is much bigger threat, having threatened a 'sea of fire' in the US. Saddam is contained for now, unlikely to try anything. Inspectors will keep going ad infinitum, and eventually Saddam dies.
It's all about oil.
