It has been posted that the WMD in Iraq were moved by the Russians into Syria,if not directly by the Russians, then under their guidance and control. It was also posted that the ownership was by the Russians because Saddam had not paid for them yet.
It seems a reasonable thought that the Russians never relinquished control and have in fact maintained that control in Syria.
Conclusion..... the WMD are now at the Russian naval base
Do you by any chance realize that you have, in effect, stated that George Bush was CORRECT in stating that there were WMD in the possession of Sadam Hussein?
That cannot be allowed to happen. After all, those who suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome have based their entire belief system on “Bush Lied.”
Poor babies.
I have to agree with you...
another case of simple logic, applied simply..
but it was still bush’s fault :)
It bruns me up that I can no longer find the article from several years back about activities prior to the actual invasion. I distinctly recall five heavy haul rigs being attacked by our forces from the air. During that attack on these rigs headed for Syria, we killed a couple rooskies who were escorting the cargo. It looked like it could have been a diplomatic blowout, but very quickly and quietly, the story disappeared. I agree with your conclusion; Russia was up to its eyeballs with weapon deliveries to Saddam, and before the war, removal from Saddam.
It had also been posted that Iraq had the means of manufacturing WMD, such as the ones used in the war against Iran and on his own people.
So, at what point do Russians gain ownership?
I believe General Sa’ad has claimed that the weapons were moved into Syria with Russian assistance right before the war. It is also believed that the Israelis blew them up in a raid into Syria a couple of years later. And that radioactivity levels at the site are high.
