“David Kay, who led the Iraq Survey Group’s effort to locate weapons of mass destruction, noted in his report of October [2] 2003 ‘the almost unbelievable scale of Iraq’s conventional weapons armory. …For example, there are approximately 130 known Iraqi Ammunition Storage Points (ASP), many of which exceed 50 square miles in size and hold an estimated 600,000 tons of artillery shells, rockets, aviation bombs and other ordnance. Of these 130 ASPs, approximately 120 still remain unexamined.’ ”
