It still doesn't change the fact the we found this and didn't know about it before. When exactly was it past it's shelf life and worthless? Because unless they were worthless at the 1991 conflict, your point is moot. We should have known about them when we had the inspectors in there after that conflict. If he was hiding them, what else was he hiding? Again - why we went to war.

One mans hiding is another mans destruction, Iraq is a crappy country, they placed there resources in the wrong place, making the weapons in the first place, they had no good method of proper destruction, so they did the next best thing, they buried them. The shelf life of sarin gas (what was contained by the shells) has a shelf life of a few months to a few years.
