I am not sure why you are bringing up sending arms to Syria?
This is about security at a US facility overseas...
There is a theory that has floated around, from time to time, that Iraq, during the war, convoyed WMD's to Bekka Valley in Syria.
Satellite photos indicate this is possible and, why there no WMD's detected in Iraq.
They had already been shipped to Syria and buried under the sand.
This is how I recalled situation at any rate. YMMV!!
I'm on (sleepy) allergy medicine so if I don't sound coherent, you can blame the allergy medication.
Other times I am incoherent, I have to own it myself. <8^)
