"Beneath" The "Desert Dunes"......
As the violence in Iraq "ebbs", hopefully showing a trend "for the positive", the military can now expand their "searches" of the "desert wastes" for buried "weapons caches" and "other trinkets", buried previously. The Iraq Survey Group (ISG) was a fact-finding mission sent by the multinational force in Iraq after the 2003 Invasion to find weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs developed by Iraq. Check out one of their previous "finds"............
