We know that German firms built Saddam's bunkers (for refuge and storage) and it figures that they thought that Saddam would use them rather than transport WMD out of his country and control. (Releasing quantities to proxy warriors is a different matter.)
Perhaps the Chinese were watching the Russians with satellites (thanks to Clintons).
And speaking of satellites, we have pretty good ones, including ground penetrating sensing. I have to surmise that Bush and Rumsfeld know where the WMD are safely stored in Iraq and are playing out a strategery to look weak so as to draw out terrorists etc.
If the belly of the beast lies in the mother land, one will eventually need to take a pilgrimage there. Thus, why manufacture fake hanging gardens in Babylon ? Play their game and eventually catch them with their hands in the cookie jar. Thats my intentionally foggy bottom take on the situation.
Time to get some more cookies !
