It will crack open in the opposition media. The old media will ignore it. However, the old media is ignored more and more all the time.

Qaddafi is from Libya. Here's a 2003 FR article indicating that the WMD's might have been in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.

The Bush administration paid a very heavy price for this decision, so it would be very interesting to know exactly why...

Bill Clinton's treasonous (literally) decision to eviscerate the US military while lying that we could still fight a "two-front war". Even the low-intensity conflict in Iraq is stretching current rotations...

No cheers, unfortunately.

Yeah, but Saddam had those weapons before we attacked Iraq. The threat was imminent, as I recall it. Now there is an imminent threat from Syria, I think. And if Syria moves those WMDs to Jordan, then Jordan too becomes an imminent threat, so we attack Jordan, etcetera.

Look at a map. Syria and especially Lebanon are within easy range of carrier based air, US bases in Turkey (and some of the 'stans as well). The same could not be said of northern Iraq in 2002 or 2003. If the WMDs are in Syria, and start moving. Either the US or perhaps Israel will see that they don't move far. They are more of a threat to Israel if in Syria than they were in Iraq, and even more so in the places you speculate they might be moved.

They could ignore Sada because Sada could be wrong, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

He could be intentionally wrong, but as former Deputy Chief of the Iraqi Air Force, he's unlikely to unintentionally wrong, at least about the air transfers.

What if the Oscars were interrupted by a WMD?

That's easy. Bush's fault (and in this case they will be partly correct, especially if the thing makes it's way across from Tiajuana.

My personal belief is that the weapons were moved to Lebanon, but Qaddafi got scared and gave them up saying they were his.

Why would old Daffy Qaddafi have his WMDs in the Lebanon? It's quite a distance from Libya after all.

A number of writers have made reference to the evidence of terrorist training in Iraq. They even had an aircraft that was used to train hijackers - something that certainly happened in 9/11. There is also evidence that they had access to biological weapons, in particular, anthrax. The left's insistence that Saddam Hussein was not involved in terrorism is ridiculous. Apparently the idea that there was no such thin as state supported terrorism took root under the Clinton administration.

Misinformation and Disinformation would be reasons for being intentionally wrong.

If he truly had WMDs he would have used them. He didn't use them, ergo there were/are none

Your keyword is if. The best way to find out is to go unannounced into Syria and look for them, and as the general said they are in Damaskus. BTW did you watch the tape. I believe the general

And don't think he would not have used them had he been given the chance

"The administration has known what happened to the WMD's all along. Most Freepers have known too. The MSM COULD HAVE known, and some of them certainly did. (However, since ignorance runs pretty deep with the MSM, some of them are probably as clueless as they seem.)"

"So, if we assume that the location of the WMD's was known all along, but not publicized, the logical conclusion is that we did not WANT to comment publicly. The Bush administration paid a very heavy price for this decision, so it would be very interesting to know exactly why..."

I tend to agree. Keep watching this unfold....

Do we know where in Syria where this weapons are? If not nuke the entire ME.

I'm awfully glad you're not calling the shots.

Only if the WMD has packed in fudge.

Thank you for brightening my day.

I believe he would have used against our soldiers too, had he not moved them to Syria, as is being speculated by this general.

But why move them to Syria? My guess is that he knew he could face our troops and tried to salvage those WMDs rather than having them fall in the hands of our troops. That's my speculation, anyway. I think time will tell if, indeed, there were WMDs, and if so whether they were moved to Syria.

"The media will bury this if it can."

Well, they've been pretty good at keeping this stuff secret (unreported) for the last three years or so, so yeah!

Yeah. Lalala, I can't hear you! Bush lied. People died. They are very predictable.

FOX already interviewed the author last night.

Let's hope they give as much time to this as they have to Holloway Twitty and the cruise honeymooner who disappeared.
