Look at the dates:
In March the UN weapons inspectors witnessed the dismantling of 19 of these missiles. Notice the word DISMANTLING. They ordered an additional 81 to be dismantled. However, they were ordered out of Iraq before they could supervise the destruction.
Baghdad fell in April.
The photo of the facility was from May.
The program of shipping out the scrap started mid-2003. The US led authority contracted with an Israeli company to remove the scrap metal.
The next photo was from 2004.
The question is, if the US was looking for WMD, how did these items get shipped, after Saddam fell, without being destroyed. After all, the UN knew about them, however, the US did not let the UN weapons inspectors back in to follow up on their original destruction orders.
In spite of those all over the Internet clapping their hands in glee because they think this proves something, you aren't seeing much in mainline media.
If this proved Saddam was hiding WMD, Bush would be calling a press conference.
