Saddams WMD's that are likely sitting in a guarded warehouse in Syria will surface one day, and Bush will suddenly be revered; his enemies will look as stupid as Reagans during the 1980's.

SYRIA,SADDAM: both Baath party comrades.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

The loons will claim he's a neocon tool of Zionist forces or some such other twaddle.

Of course they were moved. But since there is no proof that Bush can present to the American people as concrete he had to say what he did. If it wasn't for the damned democrats like Kerry and Kennedy stalling the war then we would have found them.

Of course, if it was the RUSSIANS that did move them, and we captured Russian soldiers in the process, who knows what kind of mess that could have led to. IT would have been a true international incident then.

I never cared about the WMD. It was the least reason why we should invade Iraq. So many more important reasons for why we did but they had to go and build the whole thing up on the WMD. Now they're going to be looking for those things like it's the holy grail forever. Iraq's pretty much winding up now. Time to move on to the next regime- Iran.

Reordering the entire region. That's what the invasion was always about and what it should have always been about.

[mikegi]

We were fed bad (manipulated?) intelligence on Iraq leading up to the invasion. We won't fall for it again (in Syria or Iran).

[Chode]

do I really have to say it???

[BenLurkin]

This is why France demanded we give Saddam an additional month before we moved in.

I'm sure W had his reasons for acceding to the French demand but . . .

[larryjohnson]

"contradicts"?

[fso301]

Several years ago, Ya'alon said the same in a Jerusalem Post article.

[infidel29]

Ya’alon’s assertion that Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction were clandestinely sent to Syria... contradicts President George W. Bush’s statement... that “much of the intelligence” on Iraq “turned out to be wrong.”

Why does everything that happens in the world have to turn out to be Bush's fault or Bush was wrong?

The President can't come out and say, "We didn't find Saddam's weapons because Syria has them." As soon as that assertion is made, they'll be moved again so Syria can say "Nuh-uh, we don't have any WMD."

[PISANO]

The ADMINISTRATION should NEVER have capitulated to the "THERE ARE NO WMD IN IRAQ" theme. They should have stuck to the Rumsfeld's line about WMD.

Not finding WMD does NOT mean that they are NOT there.

WE KNOW he had them so where are they? Someday we will find out!

[manwiththehands]

a’alon’s assertion that Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction were clandestinely sent to Syria on the eve of the war contradicts President George W. Bush’s statement last Wednesday at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., that “much of the intelligence” on Iraq “turned out to be wrong.”

ARGH!!!!

(beating my head against the keyboard)

Iraq moved its chemical weapons to Syria six weeks before the war started.
