what happened to the 14,000 missing weapons in Iraq, has anyone got a clue as to where they are.?

Most likely they are in the hands of Iraqi police or soldiers.  All we know is that the Iraqi record keeping was poor.  This does not necessarily mean that the weapons are in the hands of terrorists.

From a recent news report on June 28th, 2006 (by Kathleen Parker, Tribune Media Services):\n\n"At the center of the current skirmish is a newly unclassified document released Wednesday that seems to confirm evidence of WMD in Saddam's Iraq, including both degraded and possibly lethal chemical agents."\n\n"According to the document, coalition forces have recovered some 500 weapons munitions since 2003 that contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agents. Other key points are that these chemical agents could be used outside Iraq and that "most likely munitions remaining are sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles." "

did you mean did the US find the weapons they all thought were there? \n\nOne way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998. \n\n"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998. \n\n"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." \nMadeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998. \n\n"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998 \n\n"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." \nLetter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998. \n\n"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." \nRep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998. \n\n"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." \nMadeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999. \n\n"There is no doubt that... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." \nLetter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001. \n\n"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." \nSen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19, 2002. \n\n"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." \nAl Gore, Sept. 23, 2002. \n\n"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." \nAl Gore, Sept. 23, 2002. \n\n"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is using and developing weapons of mass destruction." \nSen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002. \n\n"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." \nSen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002. \n\n"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."\nSen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002. \n\n"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons an

Has anyone considered the possibility that he maybe sent them elsewhere (Syria?) to embarrass the administration? And why is it so far fetched to believe he had them? He did use them before, right? He also intentionally led other nations to believe he did have them to fend off exactly what we did, getting rid of him!

What chemical weapons? They didn't find any when they searched.

If his brother-in-law said he had them, then I'm\n  sure he did have them and probably moved them\n  into Syria while we waited 9 months to get any\n  Inspectors into Iraq.  At any rate, the whole world\n  is better off without this tyrant and dictator.  He\n  chopped up children and women and threw them\n  into huge deep pits (sometimes alive) and covered\n  them with dirt. This was proved as the US uncovered\n  the graves with dozens of Iraqi people's bones in\n one large pit (I even saw it on tv)......a horrible person.

At least New York exists.  The only WMDs in Iraq are the ones the US military uses.

whoblitzell...since the stuff they found isn't dangerous, lets bury it in your backyard, okay? \n\nSaddam was a saint-of course he had no WMDs. That's why he wouldn't give the UN inspectors complete access, right? The guy buried entire combat jets-intact-in the desert. Is it perhaps possible that he has buried other, smaller things as well?

Typical partisan bulls***. There have been reports of chemical and biological weapons being found since the war started. All have been determined to be either pre-1991 or post-2003 invasion. \n\nWhere are the nuclear weapons we were talking about with a "mushroom cloud"? Saddam lied? Who would have though that a politician could be dishonest? The point is that we have NO evidence he was pursuing chemical or biological weapons while he was prohibited from doing so, and only doctored and falsified evidence he was pursuing nuclear weapons. All we have is a bunch of old, degraded munitions.\n\n"Use of these weapons by terrorists or insurgent groups would have implications for coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside Iraq cannot be ruled out," \nI cannot rule out that North Korea has the capacity to launch nuclear missiles at the US, either. Should we attack them next? Israel and India have nuclear and biological weapons and the capacity to strike the US. Are they next?\n\nWhere do we draw the line?\n\nWould we have found these weapons without the loss of 2500+ American lives and 100,000+ Iraqi lives? I guess we'll never know, will we?

there not,we have had a whole new system in operation for awhile now.and every day we are getting newer high tech weapons to use.for a true,more explained detail try to send that question (WHICH IS A GOOD QUESTION) to the TV show MAIL CALL. i don't know if you have seen the show,but they answer questions such as yours in detail.its a military show about the equipment used in wars. I'm sorry i don't have the email to them but you probably can get it by looking up the shows name MAIL CALL on the web.

There were no Chemical weapons to start with. The process to manufacture the weapons is very dirty and if they had a chemical weapons manufacturing capability, they would have found those long ago, even if the weapons were moved. You can't hide all of the toxic waste generated in the process.\n\nAdditionally, if Saddam had weapons, don't you think he had them for a reason. And what better reason than to defend yourself against an attack? Didn't you ever wonder why they weren't used when they were invaded?\n\nAdditionally, if the US truely believed Saddam had WMD, they would never had send troops in until intelligence identified where they were located and the threat was neutralized first. Otherwise it would be too great a risk to our soldiers. \n\nI always wonder, how is it that we knew exactly were they were before we invaded (remember all the pretty pictures Powell showed us) but now that we are there, we can't find them anymore?

Your funny....i will laugh...........wait for it..........NOW......HAHAHAHA.\n\n\nThere is no point in name calling, i just want you to stop spreading lies told to you, I want you to research better of course...you deserve better.\n\n\n'WASHINGTON - In his final word, the CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has “gone as far as feasible” and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion."\n\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7634313/...\n\n\nWASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. inspectors have ended their search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in recent weeks, a U.S. intelligence official told CNN.\n\nhttp://www.cnn.com/2005/us/01/12/wmd.sea...\n\n\nUNITED NATIONS — A report from U.N. weapons inspectors to be released today says they now believe there were no weapons of mass destruction of any significance in Iraq after 1994, according to two U.N. diplomats who have seen the document\n\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/...\n\nNo weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq by the group looking for them, according to a Bush administration source who has spoken to the BBC. \n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/polit...\n\n\nFour months after Charles A.

The FOX link stipulated that the chemical agents had been degraded.\n\n"Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. "\n\nIn fact, the status of about 550 such shells were flagged during the 1999 UN inspection report.   It was made clear that the Iraq government was trying to locate these munitions.  \n\n1) No evidence has been found of 550 shells declared by Iraq as having been lost shortly after the Gulf war.\n\n2) In July 1998, Iraq provided a progress report on its ongoing internal investigation.
