I guess we’re the only ones who actually READ the stories posted on FR.
Thank you for those.
This has all been known for years here on FR.
So, let me see. The Israelis conducted an air strike into Syria and blew up the WMD’s that Saddam did not have. Hmmmm. I wonder how the Dim’s will spin this one.

Geez, who would have guessed? A few minutes with Saddam on the waterboard would have told us where and when, long ago.

The Pardes system is often regarded as mystically linked to the word pardes, meaning orchard.
Rumsfeld himself said quite openly in press conferences years ago that this was happening. I recall his comments about Saddam’s WMD’s being moved to Syria, that the US could see convoys and such by satellite, even before we went into Iraq.
So why didn’t we invade Syria too (”with us or against us” Bush Doctrine), because we didn’t have the “excuse” of “enforcing UN resolutions” like we used to put together the Coalition for Iraq?
At any rate, if I have to choose between a highly successful secret operation that, say, destroys Iran's nuke capabilities, yet have the administration blamed for "failing," or, like Clinton, have the administration "credited" for succeeding when in fact it failed (and we get a 9/11), I'll take the former every time, and damn public perceptions.
For example, it's not well known that Weinberger and Reagan allowed news of a "successful" SDI test to leak out---when in fact the test failed. But they wanted the Soviets to tremble. On the other hand, they never once mentioned a highly secret program to feed the Soviets crap technology that would break only after passing all the tests. Reagan never once took credit for that, even in his diaries or memoirs.
Practically speaking, we could not “invade” Syria without Russian cooperation which will come when heck freezes over. Syria is a key Russian client and Middle East proxy. And a toolbox of useful idiots to keep Mideast turmoil going with expensive Russian weapons they buy with Iranian oil money. Does this all make sens? I didn’t think so, it doesn’t have to.
I’m sure Condi Rice the Russophile would have been advising Bush on how to stroke the Bear to keep them from aggressively interfering with us in Iraq and to try to get them to cooperate with the rational world (which the Russians have yet to enter on other than a self-interest level) on containing Iran.
Besides, Syria is small fish compared to Iran. The Israelis could neutralize Syria in about 30 minutes (maybe 15) if push comes to shove.
Very interesting thread/comments (read all 174 posts). Thanks to all posters/linkers/researchers/educators.
BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!
Charlie Sheen is the subject matter expert for the 9/11 controlled demolition. Look at his own career and marriage...s.
My gosh... The chariots of the gods exist...
I new the egyptians had alien vistors.
“Why has this taken so long? Why didnt the CIA report this before?”
Because no one has presented IRREFUTABLE evidence, yet..
No matter how much of Saddam’s blustering and historical evidence we provide, the “Bush Lied” meme.
Ditto.
Wasn’t there a book out called The Link or something?
That linked Saddam to Osama/Al Quida.
