Two engines from Iraqi surface-to-air missiles, including one from an Al Samoud 2 missile banned by the United Nations, have turned up in a scrap yard in the Netherlands, according to UN arms inspectors.
Representatives of the unidentified scrap yard said at least five and as many as 12 similar engines were sent to the Rotterdam location earlier this year, and more may have passed through, according to a report dated May 28 from the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission.

They were labeled "hummus" making machines..
It should make you nervous. Add it to the newest threat against western airlines and it should make you very nervous.
I've been trying to pound it into the heads of liberals that playing the "they never existed" game is more dangerous than they seem to think.

The Dutch history is one of trading in contraband; a trip to the National Museum in Amsterdam will attest this fact to visitors.
Don't you just HATE it when that happens?
Well...this makes me nervous...but also shows that there probably are things 'that got legs and walked off'. The scarey part...what were they and where did they go???

Where they living in Hans Blix summer home?
What's almost as scarey is when Congressmen seriously believe the evidence of the existence of WMD and their current status would be made known publically even when it is known by those with the need to know. I know of no better way to predestine a calamitous event than the type of public ridicule used by Socialist Democrats claiming no WMD exist. They promote a self-fulfilling prophecy of uncontrollable, unpredictable, devastation by the hands of a degenerate innocuous few.
The lib media won't mention that maybe our Gov. had those sites cleaned and torn down to remove some of the guilt, arms evidence pointing to France, Germany, Russia ect. so we can get their vote in the UN? Sounds to me like shrewd work by the White House.
curiouser and curiouser...
Al-Samoud is NOT an anti-airacraft missile, it is a long range SCUD, just a rocket that in reality is an artillery round.
The first line describes surface to air missiles as well. Thats what i was concentrating on. However the Al Samoud missiles could be a problem as a simple hit or miss terror weapon IF they got into this country.
