From Bush's 2003 "SOTU" address:

Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent. In such quantities, these chemical agents could also kill untold thousands. He's not accounted for these materials. He has given no evidence that he has destroyed them.

500 tons? Isn't that 1,000,000 pounds? I'd like to see anybody try to move 1,000,000 pounds of anything without being detected, especially by the world's superpower with billion-dollar snooping technology.

Even if it's just what could have been produced, not actually produced. But you've got to wonder about how many pounds of raw materials that was...
