Some Obscurish facts

Although good ol' Saddam of Iraq does not appear to have stored away much in the way of those scary 'unconventional' weapons, they were most certainly not running short on the conventional variety. It is estimated that they left over a million tons of explosives and other weapons lying about Iraq in the wake of the most recent war with the USA. These are stockpiled in huge weapons dumps up to 25 km2 in size. For some reason that nobody wants to explain, plans were not made to quickly secure and or destroy this huge amount of weaponry after the invasion - so now they are being carted off by the truckfull by terrorists of all kinds, proving once again that war is often a way to create more violence and chaos, rather than diminishing the threat from ruthless men who will take whatever advantage they can, to further their warped objectives. Consider that dandy suicide bomb can be made from only a few kilos of explosives - if only 10% of Saddam's largely unguarded weapons caches are diverted into the terrorist underworld, that is still enough to make a LOT of bombs which could be transported to almost anywhere in the world - probably exactly what Mr. Bush had in mind when he set out to bring peace and democracy to one third of the 'Axis of Evil'......
