text: most everything you listed, if not all, was already known to be there and marked by the UN and the seals were not broken.\nnow the roadside mustard bombs you mentioned, were stolen from where they were stored(which the UN and the US already knew about and they were sealed) after there was nobody around guarding the place when we took over.  it is also thought that those IED's were made without the insurgents realizing what they were using as a munition...if that is true or not, who can really say, but areas where weapons are stored, especially the ones that we did want saddam to use or have, should have been secured! instead of running around looking for ones that weren't there.  guard the ones that you know about first! then go look for others.\nbut to sum it up...that stuff wasn't "found" if anything it was/is proof that the UN inspections worked the first time, and would have worked the second time, since in all those years saddam could have very easily removed the seals and used the stuff.  christ, i hate defending that guy, but skewing facts is wrong.
