Iraq has become a breeding ground, and because of it, a black market for terrorists.
Iraq, because we completely disbanded the Iraqi army has an almost completely unguarded, and unwatched border.
It could have come in, traded hands with some fanatics, and they go and try to move it out again to sell to someone else or take back to their base camps in some other country.

I too have doubts about the story but the idea of smuggling wmds into Iraq is full of holes. First off, if found in Iraq it would give more credence to Bush and his version of things (definitely not what terrorist networks want). Second, why would you smuggle it into an area crawling with tens of thousands of enemy troops looking for just such weapons when there are plenty of other countries in the area that would likely be easier to smuggle into and through.
Just my .02.
