here's a stupid question 

Posted by Nick : 4:46 PM

Why would you bury a plane? A team searching for weapons of mass destruction have found:
Dozens of fighter jets from Iraq's air force buried beneath the sands, U.S. officials say.

****

Rep. Porter Goss, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said the discovery pointed to how far Iraqi forces went to conceal their activities. The Florida Republican was briefed on the discovery during his recent trip to Iraq.

"Our guys have found 30-something brand new aircraft buried in the sand to deny us access to them," Goss said. "These are craft we didn't know about."

Better answer: maybe scared Iraqi pilots burried their planes so they couldn't be ordered to fly them? That seems just as likely to me as what Rep. Gross suggests.
