Let us not forget that entire soviet MIG fighters were found buried and preserved in the desert sand in Iraq for later use.Is it unreasonable to believe that caches of biochemical weapons, poison gas, and other WMDs may not similarly be hidden in that vast country? It is not an absolute known fact that such is not the case, and we need to remind ourselves and the world that the truth in the matter of WMDs in Iraq remains an unknown.
