So why isn't the President shouting this from the mountain top? Is he covering for Russia, China, or some other country? Is he doing enough to stop the terrorist from getting these things.

No. We really want to keep the FACT of WMDs in Iraq as far under the radar as possible for fear of alerting terrorists to the existence of such caches. WMDs were already used against our troops in Gulf War I (remember Gulf War syndrome? It was the result of chemical or bio agents. Iraqis also suffered from it. Evidence: Hamza in Saddam's Bombmaker). Saddam tried to use this stuff during Gulf War II, but I think much of the stuff had degraded and some of it was smuggled out of Iraq to Iran by pro-Iran symps in Iraq. There was so much chaos, bungling, and ineffiency in Saddam's regime that a great deal more of the stuff just plain got misplaced.
