Too late; we destroyed the infrastructure and the delivery platforms.

Blew it all into tiny iddle unrecognisable, unphotographable, uninspectable bits eh? And all those pre war inspection teams failed to take a single picture. Doh.
The amount of depleted urnanium that the US military has flung around Iraq presents as much a long term danger to the locals than 500, or 5000 obselete chem shells.
The biggest threat these tactical artillery shells shells represent is that insurgenst will use them in IEDs, a threat that has emerged only since the COTW statred a war. Ironic as.
You think "500 warhead were a credible and imminent threat to people in the region."
Enough to go to war over, eh? 2500 American lives, 19,000 caulaities, god knows how many Iraqis dead and wounded, civil war. I wonder would the electorate have agreed with you.
