Yep. Something Blix an crew didn't find over all those years.

Now one can assume this is the ONLY stuff buried, I guess. Or one can wait and see if anything else turns up.

Because, obviously, no one could possibly bury stuff like...oh... MiG-25's and have them remain hidden except for a freak sandstorm blowing the tails clear. Or stuff like chemical mortar rounds...

Yep... no way ANYTHING else could be hidden in Iraq.

You're all absolutely correct, there's no other possible conclusion.

I know AK does work even if buried into sand for a good while and then dug up... but I'd like to see MIG do the same :D
Always wondered why they buried the migs without any cover, just doesn't make sense...  the sand probably isn't as wet and corrosing, but somehow I doubt you'll just wipe off the dust and fly away with it...

All being said and done, using WMDs as a tool to justify war was a valid tactic and employed to great success.


I edited your post to my liking.

Just in case you missed the point accidentally Maniac (which I doubt), the presence of those shells, whether or not they are recent, constitutes:

1. The presence of WMD.
2. This means SH lied to the UN inspections teams.
3. This means our intelligence that said they must have some chemical or biological weapons that were unaccounted for was right.
4. It means taking anything SH or his scientists said at face value is foolish.

Is it impossibly difficult to wrap your mind around that?

Does it prove imminent threat? No. Does it increase the possibility stores of more lethal WMD weapons will be found. Yes.

A. When asked about WMDs, Iraq
B. lied about known weapons from the Iran/Iraq war
C. lied about WMD program thought to presently exist

A + B = A + C in all probability.

I guess 150 shells constitutes a stock pile of WMD

Im sure glad the US/UK atttacked Iraq now, the world is a safer place without those rusting mortar rounds... and almost no people had to give their lives to get rid of them either.

Over the past 50 years, in and around the aberdeen proving grounds people have been finding military ordinance buried in the groun... in some cases in neighborhoods where houses were built on top of old artilary ranges..

I wonder if the US government is employing the tactic of "burying" weapons to hide and save for future use....

Is that the intent?

How often does the US military loose weapons and equipment?

The soviets were notorious for loosing...even tanks...

There's an incident of a tank crew selling their tank to some chek for a case of vodka... this happened back in 1982.

Just like the Mobile BioChemical labs (which turned out to be hydrogen generators for weather balloons)... I'm sure these 150 shells were all part of the master Iraqi plan to take over the world...

It's a good thing we are too clever for them... and our Military Intelligence lead us right to that spot...

Perhaps because Blix was trying to find weapon ,not archeologic artefact.

Btw it would be good to have this archeologic WMD team work in north-east of France it would make our forest safer for the kids

Guys, the were burying fricken' fighter jets too. You suppose they just "accidentally" forgot where they were as well? Is it safe to assume living in a desert environment might teach a country how to evade detection of war materials by burying them in the, I dunno, desert? You suppose they might have developed a means to relocate these materials, or do you assume they wander from dune to dune like some old water prospector with a winnowing fork?

I just wonder how you're expecting to use those after buried for a 'few' years.

Put shell in backpack
Put explosives around shell
Put backpack on suicide bomber
Have suicide bomber detonate explosives while in some form of crowd

Do you realize there are different kinds of artillery shells? This was a 120mm mortar shell. Something you could easily fit into a backpack.
