From the Just Where are the WMD Department..

Comes this piece of news.

TIKRIT, Iraq - U.S. troops uncovered one of their biggest weapons caches to date Saturday at a farm near Saddam Hussein's birthplace, including anti-aircraft missiles and a huge quantity of explosives used to make the homemade bombs that have killed numerous American soldiers.

In the second raid in as many days on a farm near the village of Uja, where Saddam was born and the site of a recent bomb attack against American soldiers, U.S. troops acting on a tip dug through the soft earth near a river bank and found the cache underneath a covering of reeds and straw.(emphasis added)


It doesn't require that huge of a leap in logic that if conventional weapons are being buried, and hidden in mosques, then so would "non-conventional weapons" i.e., chemical and biological.

Also this raid shows just how good things are really going over there. More Iraqi's are willing to share intelligence with us, as they continue to do so, then more of these caches will be uncovered before they can used against our service personnel. Two for two, I call that a pretty good thing.
