Because the scientist probably stole it?

If the regime were planning on using it, they would have stored it in a bunker or some other secure place, not a hole in the ground.

The scientist probably burried it thinking the first war wouldn't last long and he could dig it up in a few weeks, when Iraq lost and was disarmed, there was no reason to bother.

You don't burry sensitive and sophisticated electronics in a dirt hole in the ground as a means of long term storage, the probability of this stuff being servicable is less than zero.

would you bury your washing machine or television in the back yard?

Did you stop to think that perhaps Hussein didn't THINK it would be long term?

Stole it.....my lord listen to yourself.....people in Iraq died crossing the Saddam regime for lesser offenses.

Iraq was a police state......the scientist was ordered to bury it in his backyard.

"scientist Mahdi Obeidi who had hidden them in his back yard under a rose bush 12 years ago under orders from Qusay Hussein and Saddam Hussein's then son-in-law, Hussein Kamel."

"Remember, his material was buried in a barrel behind his house in a rose garden."

BURRIED IN A BARREL, UNDER ORDERS FROM HUSSEIN!

YES! if some freaking despot and his mini-me's were going to kill me and my family.....I would bury it and salute!

You really have no clue. Aren't you embarrassed to demonstrate that with every mindless sentence you post?

People that lloked cross-eyed at Saddam got themselves and their families killed or worse. You believe that this guy put his life and his families life on the line for a sovenir ?

Your position grows more desparate each time you chime in.

When all I had was CNN to watch, you don't know how tempted I was.
