<Assume they had three 9000 gal tanker trucks of made-up biologicals> Where were the biologicals made? Those biologicals would have had to come from a production site. And there would have been an R&D site also. Too big to be mobile. Lots of workers at those sites. Lots of paperwork. Years of efforts, to get to the point of "tanker trucks full of biologicals". Same thing, even more so, for chemical or nuclear weapons. You need a factory, actually an entire industrial site with many factories, to produce them. The finished product can be put on wheels, but not the infrastructure to get to the finished product.

Some Iraqi will have to give a clue, and a good one, of where to look. Perhaps. But what's interesting to date is that the sites the Bush folk used to try to convince the world of impending wmd disaster in Iraq have turned up without. And who knows what the looting means. But it means, at least, that the Bush folk failed to take their presumption of the presence of wmds sufficiently seriously to seal them off very early. Makes you wonder whether they took their own justifications seriously.
