We know for a FACT they WERE there. The question is: Was Saddam in violation of the UN resolution?

You are correct about the planes. There were several uncovered.
You asked about vilolations of the UN resolution . I showed you the violations.
Why can't you admit it ?

What equipment??? Having planes i don't believe were in violation of the UN. What equipment are you talking about?
The recovery of the advanced MiG fighter is considered to be an intelligence coup by the U.S. Air Force.. The Foxbat may also be equipped with advanced Russian- and French-made electronics that were sold to Iraq during the 1990s in violation of a U..N. ban on arms sales to Baghdad. The buried aircraft at Al Taqqadum were covered in camouflage netting, sealed and, in many cases, had their wings removed before being buried more than 10 feet beneath the Iraqi desert.

I think we are carrying this too far. I think we both agree...if Bush wanted to, he could have planted something and got away with it.

so, my contention is that IF 911 was staged by the USG as an excuse to invade iraq THEN when we got there and didnt find anything either because it was in fact disposed of in the 90s per saddams claims or because he'd moved/hidden/destroyed them the month before we invaded, .
