Syria has begun moving parts of its vast arsenal of chemical weapons out of storage facilities, U.S. officials said, in a development that has alarmed many in Washington.

The country's undeclared stockpiles of sarin nerve agent, mustard gas and cyanide have long worried U.S. officials and their allies in the region, who have watched anxiously amid the conflict in Syria for any change in the status or location of the weapons.

Satellite photos before the Iraq war showed that Sadaam was moving his WMDs into Syria in the weeks before the attack.Maybe we'll get to see *those* as Syria continues to implode.

Couldn’t be. Remember? The press told us that Saddam didn’t have any weapons of mass destruction. It was all a lie by that evil Boooosh!

I hope our friends in Jerusalem are paying close attention.

Oh, Hussein’s chemical weapons being moved.
