#1 I wonder which bunker was storing the WMDs. If it took this long to find a bunker the size of 9 football fields, there are probably a few other undiscovered treasure troves.

#5 Just for curiousity, if the bad guyz had this and (presumably) other equipped underground locations, why then did Saddam bury himself in a rat hole?

Why wouldn't be locate himself in an air conditioned facility?

#6 This Secret Underground Hideout(TM) has only recently been renovated. I think you guys are smart enough to ask who fronted the cash to pay for that ...

#12 Would have been nice if they could have kept finding this place secret and:

Slow-poisoned the food,
spiked the ammo,
bugged the phones,
planted cameras and microphones,
tossed some Legionnaires microbes in the AC,

and then quietly tiptoed away to watch the fun.

#13 Six hours of secondary explosions!?! Wow. I mean, I know that the sound of weapons caches being exploded is pretty much omnipresent in that part of the country, but even so.

Gee whiz, Frank, I never would have thought of the Hessians! ;-) If only I had a mind for things military (she said mournfully)

Seafarious, do be a darling and let me know what station that will be playing on -- I'll need to do some redecorating soon ;-p

#14 I don't remember who on rantburg said it but it bears repeating, "Teacher said every time there is a secondary explosion 10 jihadiis get their wings."

#15 every time there is a secondary explosion 10 jihadiis get their wings.

I know Thin is In and everyone is simply mad about tiny little smart bombs, but dag nabit, there's nothing like a really fine primary blast!

So 6 hours of secondary, eh? That would seem to imply one big-ass pile of ordnance. Or else, a really, really long room.

#16 I don't remember who on rantburg said it
