Some of Saddam's WMD in Syria?

Let me add to that. If he did, in fact, sell chemicals to al-qaeda, think where they could be. Africa? Indonesia? Afghanistan? Pakistan? Syria? Down the street from your house? All of the above?

Needle in a haystack? More like a haystack in a needle. We may find bits and traces, but it could be anywhere and everywhere.

Sure, they could be anywhere. But it is pretty much a fact that they hid, sold or moved tons of it and it has never been accounted for.

Israeli intelligence has always maintained that it went to Syria during the pause before the US invaded.....to allow inpsectors more time.

Remember, most of that stuff could be hidden in a few trucks. Although they could have gone anywhere, they would have alomost had to go through Syria to get out of Iraq. Therefore it is most logical to assume they went to Syria if they left Iraq at all.

I heard they hired DHL and transported those WMD's to the France which launched them to the mars with Ariane rocket.
So they really did exist but it's impossible to find them anymore.
They also included a parcel bill saying WMDs came from US so now you may expect Martian retaliation strike.

Hell Americans should do a pre-emptive strike to Mars and blow that planet to the next galaxy :)
I'm sure Hortlund would be happy to help with that  :rofl

I'm sure Israeli intel is going to say Iraq has WMD or sold, sent, gave it to another Arab state. They would LOVE somebody to waltz in and kick some Arab arse.

Nuke, ya need to get your story straight. Bush said Saddam had an arsenal of WMD...not a few truckloads. If we went in over just a few truckloads Bush is a bigger idiot than I gave him credit for.

How much Sarin do you think it would take to kill say 100,000 people in LA or NYC? I think it would much less than even one "truck load".

How many cruise missles does it take to destroy a truck? I'd say less than it takes for an invasion.

how many cruise missles could locate, ID and track a truck with WMD?  How many trucks did Iraq have?

Hey.  Here's a novell thought.

Maybe Syria has chemical and poisonous gas weapons and some have gone "missing?"

It was not just "DUBYA" .... It was Kerry, Clinton, The UN, France, Germany and many more who agreed that Iraq was a threat with WMD. Only thing is, nobody would do anything about the threat. Sure, they talked the talk, but Bush walked walk and did something about it.

So are you saying that the UN, France and Germany lied about Iraq having WMD?

This really seems like such an old, tired debate.

There were WMD! See???

There were no WMD! See???

Either way, the only truly important question IMO seems to be "what are we going to do now"?

I for one believe in the war on terror. I even believe in the Saddam connection. Look at what's being flushed out over there right now...

Well, the only thing that mattered at the time was that everyone agreed Iraq had WMD which were unaccounted for and that nobody was doing anything to make sure Iraq complied with the UN.

I'm with you 100% on that one Nuke. I also believe there were some WMD present prior to the invasion. I personally saw several palletes of Al-Samoud missiles sitting along the highway just south of Baghdah, so there's no doubt in my mind Saddam was not complying with the UN.

 I think it's time to shift our focus on the "here and now" issues, however.

Until the question is answered definitively this debate can go on and on like a hamster in a wheel.
