“...If you read the entire report you see that they found all of Iraq’s weapons labs to be decaying or defunct. The labs gave every sign of not having been maintained since Gulf War One. And we had American inspectors in Iraq for most of the time between the two wars and they never saw any sign of that the labs were back in operation.
In March 2005 Duelfer added addenda to the original report, covering five topics:

Prewar Movement of WMD Material Out of Iraq, stating "ISG judged that it was unlikely that an official transfer of WMD material from Iraq to Syria took place" but also acknowledging that there was evidence "about movement of material out of Iraq, including the possibility that WMD was involved," and that this evidence was "sufficiently credible to merit further investigation." IAG noted that, due to security concerns, it "was unable to complete its investigation and is unable to rule out the possibility that WMD was evacuated to Syria before the war.""

As others have pointed out, if Saddam had WMDs he wouldn’t ship them out, he’d have used them against our invasion.

But if they did exist and had indeed gone to Syria then Assad would have used them to fight the rebellion that managed to gobble up half of his country. He wasn’t shy about using gas on civilians, what possible logic would have kept him from obliterating his serious enemies?

The Gone-To-Syria camp not only lacks physical evidence of WMDs being being in the convoy to Syria, they are asking us to believe that two Arab bad asses would keep them as doorstops instead of using them.

Moreover the Survey Group went through Iraq’s weapons labs and found them to be in poor shape or even unusable. They would not have been in that state if they had been producing WMDs in the 10 years following Desert Storm.
