Where Are All The W.M.D.s?

How hard is it for an army that thinks it can shoot nuclear missiles out the air with their Star wars program, to survey a border?

Ask anyone concerned adbout illegal immigrants in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, or California. Or Florida, for that matter.

The Australian Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer believes Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have been buried outside Baghdad.

Mr Downer says the process of finding Iraq's chemical and biological weapons will take quite some time.

He says the best way of finding them will be through interviews with the Iraqis themselves.

"I think it's likely that a lot of this material has over the last few months been buried, and has been buried out of Baghdad," he said.

"To find where this material has been buried, broken up and buried, we will have to get people to tell us."

"It won't be possible just to send the army around and try and find these particular sites."

Where are all the WMD's?

The Search for the Smoking Gun
Coalition forces step up their search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq

By Romesh Ratnesar

... With most of Iraq in allied hands, the search is intensifying for Saddam's suspected chemical and biological weapons. Their discovery and destruction remain the chief reasons given by the Bush Administration for going to war. "We have high confidence that they have weapons of mass destruction," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said last week. "This is what this war was about and is about." But the hunt has not yet produced a smoking gun. Coalition forces are only beginning to work their way through the hundreds of locations identified by U.S. and British intelligence agencies as possible WMD production and storage sites. "There's so much to be inspected," says a British official. "Of the huge number of areas we'd like to look at and scientists to interview, only 1% has been done."

Several false leads have emerged. After a group of Marines secured the Tuwaitha nuclear-research complex outside Baghdad, they detected high levels of radiation at the site and speculated that the complex may have contained enough uranium to build nuclear weapons. But weapons experts say that U.N. weapons inspectors sealed the complex more than a decade ago and that it contains "low enriched" uranium good mainly for civilian energy use. Other finds, including 20 medium-range missiles that may have been designed to carry nerve agents and barrels of chemicals seized in an agricultural facility near Karbala, are still under investigation. Pentagon officials say it will take weeks to complete tests of the materials ...

Guatam, the purpose of The Inspections was not to find WMD, but to verify Iraqi compliance with the provisions of UNSCR 687 and subsequent Resolutions

Today, April 7, 2003, it seems the US forces may have found some drums of WMD's. We'll have to wait and see to find out if they really are, but it's more likely than not at this point. Why, you ask? Well, they were burried, and the coalition forces also found some missiles they think has traces of WMD's. c.i.
