Something interesting is that HMX is also used in rocket fuels, so this large stash could have been for use with those nasty aluminum cylinders, that were thought to be for fuel rods, in the manufacture of rocket powered missles and delivery systems.

Is this a hint of an admission that Saddam's ability to create WMD was greater than thought a couple months ago? [/b][/quote]
No. There's a big difference between developing a rocket and delivery program and starting up a WMD program. I think Saddam was likely hoping to build his own weapons and these were components to a rocket program.
