Sand Castles

The U.N., the United States, and others had been negotiating with Saddam Hussein for years to get him to quite making weapons of all kinds, to get him to take care of the people he was supposed to be leading, feeding and sheltering. The U.N. had a program of oil for food and he managed to divert the funds to his own personal use. Seems he had a passion for going underground, literally, he built palaces under his and his sons palaces. When Saddam was found, he was found in a little hole in the ground. His son had a torture complex under the stadium that had been used for the Olympics. The wind shifted and the tip of a plane was visible from under the sand. So we have yet to find any weapons of mass destruction.

Just what is a weapon of mass destruction? A rocket, a missile, something that can kill 5, 10 or thousands at one time? Isn't an army a weapon? We all know that Saddam had a rather large army. It seems to me that we have found and are destroying at least one of the weapons of mass destruction. The others are either in the sand or out of the country. He had a lot of places to hide things. I wouldn't be surprised if a sand storm uncovered stashes of rockets, missiles and the launchers.
