Excellent point, and one I am sure has escaped the minds of some Fox News fans here. :)

Really??? I thought the very concept behind MOBILE Chem/Bio Labs was that they could be moved. Live and learn.
Who's doing all the moving now that one regime has supplanted the other? I suppose it's some jubilant Iraqi's who see it as a friendly game of hide and go seek.

Not yet. The jubilant Iraqis have confined their looting to museums, hospitals, schools, and government buildings so far. When they get around to looting the hidden mobile labs and the hidden non-mobile stockpiles, we'll probably see one of them riding on a barrel of anthrax being pulled through downtown Kut.
Most apologists for the regime have repeatedly tried to discount the idea that the US could actually plant false evidence leading to a WMD site or material discovery.
Well surprise surprise at who’s actually heading the efforts in Iraq of ‘discovering’ WMD’s. It’s none other than Charles Duefler of UNSCOM and Iraq VX nerve gas fame.

Oh really!! I thought US could pin point missile launchers but could not locate these labs my my my... You got it all wrong Saddam borrowed clogging technology from the Klingons... now go figure.
U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix, meanwhile, has again urged U.S.-led forces in Iraq to allow the return of U.N. inspectors, but says he sees little sign of willingness to do so.
“The alliance arrived as a liberator and an occupier and that can have its disadvantages. If their experts actually find weapons of mass destruction, their veracity could be doubted,” Mr. Blix said in an interview with German magazine Der Spiegel.
“Therefore I am in favor of having these tasks put back under the responsibility of specialists with international legitimacy,” he said.
"We have never claimed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction

Somehow or other I don't think the US could pinpoint a missile launcher that was buried beside the Euphrates river. That technology is beyond even the Klingons.
Article: “Charles Duelfer, a former State Department official…”
There goes his objectivity.

That perfectly sums up the viewpoint of the anti-American contingent in GuppiLand. Any present or former government official is discredited and accused of lacking objectivity on the single and sole basis of his/her present or former employment.
Iraqi Information Ministers are OK. Former State Department Officials are Tabu.
You don’t happen to believe that the picture was of a weapons facility that was buried underground along side the Euphrates River do you? Do you think the camera filtered out 20 feet of topsoil to give us the portrayal you see in the picture?

Well, for better or for worse this is the reality the US administration is facing, particularly in western Europe and large swathes of Africa and Asia. If the admin does not appreciate this sentiment, then perhaps they would be wise to heed Blix's suggestion and get some 'neutral' arms inspectors on the ground in Iraq.
Very amusing, heh? So if we can have those pictures via satellite, why couldn’t we trace/track them if we were so scared? now begging Iraqis to guide towards WMDs

...or implant them.
"I don't think we will find anything. Inspectors did not discover anything and I don't think we will," said Mr Rumsfeld.
Then why in God's name did you got to war?
