Mindful of the report of hordes of Chinese massing on the Afghanistan/China border, I am skeptical of Debka. So far what I've read is scrap missile parts and "equipment", "some of it in good condition."

Personally, I've been burned too many times to surrender disbelief.

a lot of Saddam's WMD facilities are turning up in scrapyards in Jordan

Are these the rocket engines that were looted from UN-controlled weapons facilities in Iraq -- the facilities we failed to secure after Saddam's army disintegrated? Or are there other weapons as well?

At least one of the missiles that have turned up bore a serial number that shows up in a UN database, indicating it was already tagged by the inspectors.
