While this is good news, a couple of thousand pieces of ordinance does not seem to be that much compared to some of the depots they found immediately after the war. Nor does it seem to be out of the ordinary for the caches that routinely turn up in Afghanistan.
The real news in this story is the locals co-operating with our boys.

Yes, your last line is the true good news.
Saddam's inability to produce the makings of the Bush Administration's threatened "mushroom cloud" or "deadly chemical attack" will forever be their albatross.
Moronic Monday morning quarterbacking aside, nothing was holding back Saddam from defending his own life with WMDs.
It doesn't take much thought to realize that the same excuses put up for Saddam not using WMDs to defend his capital would be even stronger excuses for not using them in any other context against the US, ergo no threat.
The argument that he 'had them but chose not to use them' is ludicrous and argues against all of the reasons given for the invasion. Not to mention that the Bush administration has repudiated the WMD claims (as well as the al Quaeda link claims). Some neocons hereabouts remind me of that lonely Japanese soldier found 20 years after WWII.
