It was necessary and that’s exactly what President Bush did.
Yep. Then there was Tommy Franks who said in his book that he saw on satellite surveillance the convoys of trucks leaving suspected Iraqi chemical sites and followed them over the Syrian border and all the way to some depot in the Bakaa valley.
Then a couple of months later there was an Israeli airstrike on that location... obliterating the whole depot. Curiously enough, the Syrians made no protest at all following the airstrike. They were flat busted and they knew it. They couldn’t bitch about it without acknowledging what it was. Syria remained silent about the raid.
Curious, that.
