    I wouldn't be surprised if this is indeed the case, but didn't Saddam say that he was basically bluffing in an attempt to keep Iran from taking him over? It's been so long that I forget all the details.

    Saddam said a lot of things - you believed him?

    No, I don't believe Saddam said that. I think that was one of the leading theories to explain why they weren't found. Another theory from the day was that Saddam genuinely thought he had WMDs but his weapons development folks were lying to him to keep from being shot for failing.

    This story could be a boil on Peter Boyles arse. Should be interesting to see how Boyles' spins this if it turns out to be true.

    I don't listen to Boyle, so perhaps the Cliff's Notes version to fill me in?

    I have some doubt on this one for the following reasons:

    Iraqi and Syrian usually hates each other
    Syria had no diplomatic relation with Iraq from 1979 to 2006
    Syria contributed to Desert Storm against Iraq
    Israel is constantly monitoring Syria. I can't see how the WMD would have been transferred undetected

    As i said on the first line: It could make sense, but It seems unlikely.

    Peter believes there were no WMD in Iraq at the time of the invasion, that all depends on what the definition of WMD is. I think WMD includes warheads, weaponized material, delivery systems and their components, I'm sure I missed something.

    Pompous ass who thinks he has all the answers. Talks over people and won't let people finish their thought. Constantly abuses people on air and yells at them not to use tactics that he uses against them. Constantly argues about belief vs knowledge but seems to constantly mix the two in definition. Yes, he has some interesting insights, guests, etc... but I can only take so much of him in the morning.

    WMDs include such methods as chemical weapons. We know Saddam had WMDs because he used them on the Kurds. The time-wasted going through the old song and dance with the UN gave Saddam time to move the weapons out of Iraq.

    Israel knows what Syria has...which is why they've been preventing the weapons from being moved to Hesbollah.

    I find it amusing to hear Syria talking smack to Israel. Go ahead. Make their day. Let's watch Israel beat their previous record for destroying the Syrian air force.
