This stuff has been trucked out of Iraq to Syria for a very long time. Yes - with special thanks to the UN, France, Germany, and other "friends" for delaying, obstructing and foot-dragging to give Iraq plenty of time to "clean house" before we finally went in.
WOT? The US armed forces weren´t ready to start combat until the actual beginning of the war! The time schedule was made in DC and not in Paris, Moscow or Berlin.
