To support the "buried in the desert point," Iraq is roughly the size of california and most of it, if not all, is desert. A million troops could not search that entire area in ten years, much less the hundred thousand troops we have there now that have been there for just a year and a half, and most of them are in the combat zone. Furthermore, a few months ago, we discovered that the Iraqis had buried a fleet of Mig-25 fighter jets in the desert. If they could bury a squadron of jets in the desert, why couldn't they bury the weapons there as well?

ok, let's say that's the case. he had weapons and they were hidden or sold off. so how are we safer now? the weapons are out there somewhere and SOMEONE knows where. so what have we gained? all we did was move the weapons form one dangerous regime to another -- hardly seems worth the cost of the war.
