Really!!! What were in all those caravans of Russian trucks heading to Syria? Saddamn"s hareem. Who knows? (Certainly you don't) - The fact is all sorts of things could have been in those "supposed" caravans leaving Iraq (a war was coming and it does make sense for people to try and get all sorts of valuable items out of the Country beforehand). - The idea that they had to be WMD's is simply not an accurate or honest assessment -
The fact is we have had the best of the best searching Iraq via complex hex operations searching for any WMD's (or any evidence of an active WMD program) - The fact remains we have found none -
While one could theorize about how WMD's (themselves) could have been moved out of Country (to Syria for example) - What could not have been completely removed would be the "residuals" of any active WMD program.
Those residuals being from the human element, chemical element, computer element, prototype element, paperwork element, storage element, disposal element, etc, etc, etc - We have not found any residuals to an "active" WMD program. That is the bottom line.
But don't allow the MSM to fool you into thinking WMD's were the sole reason we went into Iraq - They certainly were not!! - There was a list of over 17 reasons presented by the WH for reasons Saddam needed to be removed. WMD's were only one of those reasons.
And the fact is now we know (to a large extent) about Saddam's current WMD program (there or not) and the World is safer because of it. The World is safer because Saddam is not in power. The World is safer because freedom and self-worth are spreading throught-out Iraq (and Afghanistan).
Lastly, GWB, Cheney and Rumsfeld are all serious men who do not play word games. All have said Saddam did not have the WMD's we expected he would have (They mean what they say).
The MSM never fools me because I don't pay any attention to what they have to say. We know Saddamn had WMD's, he used them. granted what was moved was probably old and unstable (hopefully the ones moving them found this out). but I am not ready to become assured that the terrorists don't have their bloody hands on this stuff. I just think they may be afraid to use it while Bush is in power.
these people are evil and dangerous and that is the one thing that makes anything possible.

Here is an individual who certainly know more than you, marty60 or myself:

Really? I find that interesting that you bring this up....so if there were no WMDs how did Saddam use them on his own people? Don't you remember the pics of those people laying in the street? "Have War Critics Even Read the Duelfer Report? The Saddam regime was an imminent threat" http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1244773/posts "While no facilities were found producing chemical or biological agents on a large scale, many clandestine laboratories operating under the Iraqi Intelligence Services were found to be engaged in small-scale production of chemical nerve agents, sulfur mustard, nitrogen mustard, ricin, aflatoxin, and other unspecified biological agents. These laboratories were also evaluating whether various poisons would change the texture, smell or appearance of foodstuffs. These aspects of the ISG report have been ignored by the pundits and press.... The chemical section reports that the M16 Directorate "had a plan to produce and weaponize nitrogen mustard in rifle grenades and a plan to bottle sarin and sulfur mustard.... The major threat posed by Iraq, in my opinion, was the support it gave to terrorists in general, and its own terrorist activity.... "
