There was an article a few days back saying that intel was holding off on the Syria problem becuase they were afraid of what they would find..

Actually, one could almost say that it was better to let the WMD's go off to Syria..There in one place, we obviously can keep an eye on them. Also, we can destabilize the Assad regime at anytime now, and letting them go to Syria keeps them out of the hands of the crazies in Iraq.

My pet queston, FWIW..during Gulf War I....Iraq launched SCUDS...prior to the start of GW II, Iraq had, 70-100 SCUDS of two or three variants, and some 10-15 mobile launchers...That's why the Aussie troops were deployed into the Western desert well before the war started, to find and destroy the SCUDS, to prevent them from being launched against Israel...The Aussies found the MIGS buried int he sand, remember, but there has been not ONE report of a SCUD or a mobile launcher captured, or destroyed...
