The main reason IMO is that they were probably moved to Syria prior to the start of the war as indicated by massive pre war traffic to Syria

That's what I have been saying ever since we invaded Iraq, but no one in Washington seems to remember anything about that heavy truck traffic to Syria. I distinctly remember watching TV coverage of USAF air surveillance shots of long convoys of heavy military trucks heading out of eastern Iraq toward the Syrian border during the time when our forces were still advancing toward Baghdad. The TV commentator even mentioned the possibility that the trucks were hauling WMDs to Syria to hide them from American forces and keep them in the hands of Saddam's Syrian friends.

But in the aftermath of occupying Baghdad all those truck convoys seemed to have been forgotten. I have to wonder why the Bush administration doesn't even acknowledge that any of that ever happened. If Israel has to go into Syria some day to clean out that rat's nest, I have to believe they will discover that Saddam actually had the WMD stuff he was accused of having.

I saw the same thing you did. I remember, and I tell people about it as well.. Given Saddam's connections to Al Qaeda, I am betting a LOT of that stuff ended up in some VERY VERY bad hands in Malaysia as well as Syria, Iran, and Lebanon. With Iran Arming Hezbollah with rockets, and money, how far a stretch is it to imagine them using Bio and Chem weapons on Israel? Given Amahdinnajerks rhetoric???? No bet. No bet.
