By Rowan Scarborough
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


* * The United States believes Iraq has moved prohibited weapons components to private residences, underground facilities and mobile sites to foil intelligence efforts to pinpoint their locations.
* * Some U.S. officials believe Iraqi President Saddam Hussein moved weapons-making machinery and tools to Tikrit, his center of power 90 miles north of Baghdad.
* * Tikrit, once an isolated provincial town, has seen a building boom, particularly in the past 10 years. Saddam has diverted millions of dollars in oil revenue to erect new houses, government buildings, mosques, a university and hospitals on the banks of the Tigris River.

Two things:

I wouldn't be surprised if Saddam moved a lot of stuff to Syria.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the administration knows a lot they aren't telling until they are ready.
