"If Syria and Iran have reached this accord as reported...it inevitably makes even more credible the widely-held belief that Syria made a pact to help Saddam hide his WMDs..."
I just don't buy that. If saddam had them - why wouldn't he have used them? He's dead now. He used them when there was no threat to his life (Halabja 1988), if they were there in 2004 I am pretty sure he would have used them then too. Without hesitation. I just don't buy the Syria has them thing.
Neither am I loosing a moments sleep over that fact. Saddam is out of power. The world is better off.
You don't? Well then its you who have some explaining to do. Where did they go? You know the ones Saddam had ADMITTED to having after the Gulf War? Plus, as shown by our troops right here in Free Republic, they still found a couple overlooked (by the MSM) hundred tons of stuff. Why didn't Saddam use that "piddly stuff" against us?
And just what makes you think Saddam would ever dare mess with These Guys?
Because he was not suicidal like most terrorists. Had he used them we would have retaliated with NUCLEAR weapons.
