I don't think Saddam "buried MIGs in the desert". I saw a picture of one and maybe there were half a dozen. I wonder what the reason was for doing so. Burying aircraft is probably not a great idea for making them operable again. Did I say it was rational? I said Saddam did it. Go talk the US army, they found the MIGs buried. I wouldn't take Saddam or any others I can think of at their word. Neither would I, which is why Saddam's denying he had WMDs but refusing the inspections that would have cleared him & kept him alive made me think he was hiding something. Saddam liked to hide stuff. In Iraq and outside Iraq. He hid weapons all over the place. He flew airplanes to Iran and never got them back. It was all one big shell game to him. I decided that Saddam did not have WMDs and I was right. So you believed Saddam? Why? All I have said is you cannot declare the case closed until you have figured out, one way or another, what went to Syria, and a lot of stuff did go to Syria. It's a fair bet that the stuff that went to Syria was valuable and portable, and there's quite a lot of weapons and material for weapons that falls under that description.
