And that WMD/missile production equipment that we couldn't find, until
they dug it out of a scrap pile in Europe, where it's been since last

Not long-range missiles. The engines and other components are from
SA-2 GUIDELINE SAMs. These were used in the Al Samoud short-range
missiles. The Al Samoud flew about 20-30 miles over the limit set by
the UN. You do realise that the Al Samoud weapons were being tagged
immediately pre conflict by the UN and falling into Coalition hands
during the advance on Baghdad? Ask yourself how many SA-2 motors the
Iraqi's had or were able to obtain?
