U.S. intelligence first identified a stream of tractor-trailer trucks moving from Iraq to Syria to Lebaon in January 2003. The significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time.

LOL. They understood exactly what was going on. The Israelis said it was happening when it was happening and this is not "new" news. We LET them move the WMD out of Iraq because it made the future war zone safer for our troops, who WOULD be going there even if the WMD didn't exist. Truth be told, the invasion and occupation of Iraq was not and is not about WMD or cease-fire violations, or any of the other things that have been publicly discussed. It's about upsetting the geo-political makeup of the Middle East. It's the same as setting up a police precinct in the middle of a crime-ridden neighborhood. WMD were just the excuse to legitimize our actions in doing so. Iraq is our new police precint, and the Middle East is the bad neighborhood. We knew they were moving the WMD, and were happy they did it. If there had never been any WMD, something else would have been used to justify the invasion.

That's true.

And it's a good thing.
