This ain't demo from a range. These munitions were the subject of
repeated
requirements for Saddam to fully (and accurately) account for them,
which
he
obviously failed to do (I'd challenge you to find, anywhere in Saddam's
numerous "full, final, and complete" WMD disclosures to the UN, where he
listed *any* chemical weapons as either stolen or lost). Further, there
is
no indication they were "stolen"; in fact, it would appear they were
intentionally hidden, so your analogy is not too accurate IMO.

The second round of tests conducted in country by the ISG have found no
chemicals in the cache. This also happened with a cache of phosphorus
filled
mortars found back in October which gave an initial positive reading for
chemical agent.

Yeah. I caught that in the latest AP report. Looks like they are going to
have to develop (or further field what is already available) some better
field testing equipment.
