Maybe I'm missing something here . . . If the U.S. felt justified in waging war against another country on the basis of their WMDs, then how the hell did they let these convoys of trucks carry these things to Syria without doing anything about it?
Maybe there is a bigger game plan in play?
The Russians moved the WMD's to Bekka Valley, to underground facilities which are hardened to survive a nuclear strike.
We watched them move them.
We even attacked them.
The Russians threw a fit and we backed off.
We knew what they had, but we couldn't prove it.
BUT, most of all, we wanted them to move them.
We did not want these weapons in the hands of the terrorists.
The Russians were doing us a favor by removing them.
They have a preset plan to move any illegal weaponry they sell to other nations in case that nation is attacked.
The Russian officer in charge of the plan even wrote an article describing the whole deal.
The weapons are safe where they are, and we want them to stay there.
WMDs were only one of many, many reasons we went to war against Saddam, and it wasn't even the top reason. The primary reason was that he turned Iraq into one of the world's foremost terror-sponsoring states and we needed to reduce the number of such states.
