George, re:I worked in the space imaging area for 10 years. You can't look through solid objects (no X-ray vision like Superman) and you would have to know when and where to look. That's why the U2 flights are so important, no X-ray vision - but you have an element of unpredictability. Of course anyone with ground RADAR can see the plane go up, they just have a shorter window in which to hide stuff. Besides, RADAR goes though smoke from oil field fires real good - not like optical imaging.

I respect that George, but you have to build stuff and you will be seen building it. Okay, we see bunkers - send in the inspectors to those bunkers - every day if need be. We stop ships going in any time we want. There is considerable technology that you need and if you are going to move a manufacturing site every day, stuff will be getting broken. 1000 permanent inspectors with neutron sensors would do a lot more than 100,000 armed soldiers and no body dies. Iraq is the size of California with a lot less habitable land. They don't have freeways and big long rivers and rows of high tech factories. These are 3rd world crap holes. Any tech center is going to stand out like a sore thumb. You just can't hide a technology center in a 3rd world country that easily.
