Nobody ever thought we would find Hussein either!

But all it took was time. I hope Bin Laden isn't too far behind.

WMDs are there. I have no doubt that it will be found. I just don't know when. Neither does anybody else. Just think how many Iraqi mud huts have small rooms under them, like the one old Saddam was hiding in. There is a million places like that to hide biological agents.

People who are against the war still won't be happy when the stuff is found and they will probably claim that it was all planted by the CIA anyhow.

It would blow your mind to know how much conventional ordnance is still being found on a daily basis. Stuff is buried all over that country. I doubt all of it will ever be found.

Alot of the artilery shells that have been found are configured for use with biological agents. True, none of it was loaded, but it shows that the potential and intent to use it was there. Why have the shells if you don't have the crap to put in them. On top of that, these weren't shells that were found thrown out in the dirt. This stuff was all preserved and alot of it was located at gun emplacements and active ammo depots. When I first started landing at airfields in Iraq, there was piles of chemical protective gear all over the place. It was all taken off of the dead Iraqis and POWs. You don't carry that stuff into combat unless there is a potential use for it. Don't get me wrong, I am glad the Iraqi people have been given their freedom (as much as possible in an Islamic country) and I hope the days of mass graves and executions are over. But I didn't go to this war concerned about them. All I care about is making the world a safer place for my daughter to grow up in. Will getting rid of Saddam help with that? I have no doubt that it will in the end.

Even if the war in Iraq hasn't accomplished anything else so far, it scared Libya to give up their nuclear program.
