Some of us,including, yours truly, feel the biggest story about the WMDS is not where they are and how did they get out of Iraq.
The biggest story is how did the left wing MSM, left wing politicians and other pro Islamofascists in America and the rest of the world, know that most if not all of the WMDS were no longer in Iraq when we invaded Iraq.
The answer is simple. They were told by friends of Saddam that the WMDS were out Iraq. So they knew before any of us knew.
The world knew that Iraq had these WMDs before our invasion, and even the Clintoon thugs told us for years about them.
GW and Putin probably worked out a deal, where Russia got those WMDs out of Iraq with financial help from France and the PRC and maybe Germany. The last thing those 4 countries wanted was publicity about the massive amounts of WMDs and WMD tech know how, Iraq bought from those 4 countries.
A$$ad has been quiet since then, and as others have noted, reasonably quiet about the current shootouts between Israel and Iran's and Syria's proxies in Lebanon.
Krazi Khadafi has apparently come over from the dark side. Don't be surprised if A$$ad has or is in the process.
I have been posting this question for close to 3 years, about how did the MSM and Rats on the left know so fast there were no major WMDS left in Iraq?
In a decade, we will probably find out that there was a combined effort to get those WMDs out of Iraq before we invaded Iraq. That did two things:
#1. The countries, who had sold the WMDS and Tech know how to their buddy $addam were protected.
#2. What everyone is losing sight of, is the most important, the WMDs were not used on our warriors and allies during the Iraqi war.
GW probably used #1 as a motivator to get the WMDS out of Iraq to protect #2 Our warriors who invaded Iraq and our immediate allies in the Middle East. This is typical stealth diplomacy which GW's administration has used for years to silently win in big issues.
I think the answer is very simple. There is a reason, a really good reason, why Bush and this administration have to keep the disposition of the WMD a secret. The Rats may not know what the reason is but they know its been decided to by Bush to keep it quiet. They know Bush will not defend himself with the truth so they are free to attack.
I think this may be the key to your question. An excerpt from the thread here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1674035/posts
... the real news about President Bush's open mic night at the G-8 summit is not his use of a common vulgarity, but an exchange between Bush and Tony Blair regarding Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
BLAIR: What does he think? He thinks that if Lebanon turns out fine, if you get a solution in Israel-Palestine, if Iraq ends in the right way--
BUSH: Yeah, he's through.
BLAIR: He's had it. That's what this whole thing's about. It's the same thing with Iran.

It seems they're stating that Assad's job/life is on the line with this stuff. Let me know if I'm not reading this right.
