Mr. Bush, we found your WMDs... you don't need to be called a liar anymore.

I remember seeing a tiny little three of four sentence story buried in the back of the Rocky Mountain News about a week after the Iraq invasion started. It was a report that the Russians said they had people in Irag helping move weapons out of Iraq to other countries right up to the day of the invasion. I was able to find the original release from a Russian news service. The Russian news service report seemed strange because it reported that they were moving weapons out of Iraq to countries that I though weren't that friendly to Irag. This story kinda backs that up.

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.

Outside looking in... I think it was a little different in reality. Syria accepted millions of Iraqi refugees in 2003. They also opposed the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. Syria is also a major hub for foreign anti-coalition fighters to gain access into Iraq to fight us. Not to mention, I don't think Bashir Assad would say no to his not so friendly neighbor asking if he could park his chemical weapons laden trucks in his country- neither could have thought that Saddam would get out this alive.

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.

I've been saying it all along and I will say it again. With all of the Clinton's threats about going into Iraq and looking for those chem wpns, Saddam found a way to filter them out to Syria IOT hide them. After another 6 years we went to Iraq and didn't find shit, except for the vehicles in which to deliver them with. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

This was all known in 2003, seen by US forces, and reported. Chem weapons were moved daily. All missions against these were called off after the 1st time we found chem munitions. Someone up the chain way above my paygrade called us off.

this story was written a year ago. for various reasons people don't really care and hard evidence is never presented. i am sure there are many reasons why.

[TS12000]

Does it surprise you? That's like your neighbor asking if you want to look after his Rolls Royce while he's fighting Chuck Norris, of course Assad took that shit with open arms.

There were also minor stories buried in the back pages at the time of some Iraqi fighter jets being moved to Syria so they didn't get destroyed by the US. Iraq and Syria had an "interesting" relationship back then, which I have never really understood or heard explained. Seems in that corner of the world you can be enemies about some things and friends about others.

Well, it still looks like we invaded the wrong country... Maybe we'll get it right next time.....

I hope nobody tells all those boys with the torn limbs and torn souls.
