Are you saying this bunker wasn't spotted by U.N. inspectors and contained materials for making nucular weapons? If you are saying so, you are flat wrong.

This bunker was not discovered until recently, so no, it was not spotted by UN Inspectors. While this particular bunker was not shown to have traces of radiation, this one discovered in 2003 did. An excerpt:

Investigators on April 8 discovered that Al-Tuwaitha hides another city. This underground nexus of labs, warehouses, and bomb proof offices was hidden from the public and, perhaps, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors who combed the site just two months ago, until the US Marine Corps combat engineers discovered it three days ago. Today, the Marines hold it against enemy counter-attacks.

So far, Marine nuclear and intelligence experts have discovered 14 buildings that betray high levels of radiation. Some of the readings show nuclear residue too deadly for human occupation. A few hundred meters outside the complex, where peasants say the "missile water" is stored in mammoth caverns, the Marine radiation detectors go "off the charts."

Here is another story about it that has more detail and states that which says that David Albright, a former International Atomic Energy Agency inspector in Iraq from 1992 to 1997, was not aware of the facility.

Now...take your ball and go home to LaLa Land..I don't have time to play with you any more.
