let me see... we went in in 2003... the ceasefire was 1991... 12 years and the inspectors couldn't find 100s of shells. These are not rifle cartridges, you know. I think if they had not been HIDDEN they might have seen them. If they looked. If they were not in some palace. If they were not manufactured after the war, in violation of the ceasefire and the UN resolutions. But I guess Saddam had to spend all that oil money on something, since he did not want to feed his people. Oh- I forgot- he had to replace the WMD that he had used on his own people... Tens of thousands, but since they were only Kurds, we don't want to mention anything about them.
