Reality 101.
- You have just invaded an took a country with WMD.
- The army has gone home and you are having to reconstitute from scratch.
- The WMD materials and warheads are all over the place and not secured.
- Due to the security, you do not know all the places they were stored.
- Radical terrorists are starting to conduct ops against you, are in the country, and would love to gain WMD.
What do you do?
- “It was a mistake.”
- “They must have got rid of them.”
- And while you are publicaly taking that political hit,
you systematically clean up every weapons depot you can find.
Two days ago they found 5 filled and 19 unfilled 155mm shells in a hidden cache north of Baghdad.

There is a reason for you having to sign that NDA concerning classified material.
Some of that crap is still unsecured...
And the political result of not releasing this info is that the whole country is likely about to be unsecured. And I don’t mean Iraq, I mean the USA.
my NDA was no contact with the press. I also was contracted to a non American company. I am no longer bound by the NDA. It expired at the termination of my employment.
Who said anything about NDA and classified material? The Washington Post was the only news agency that bothered to come out to the lab when it was opened to reporters. He took way more detailed photos than what I posted. One small article was published that got buried. Green Peace was the ones who complained about the looted material killing the locals.
You really need to review the GAO report to congress, compare that to what was not said or described in my photos.
