Well, I say it for a couple of reasons. Since the Syrian army and intelligence is withdrawing to the Bekaa Valley before withdrawing to the border, they could do the same thing that previously happened: move the stuff. The pictures from the Lebanese news services of the troops withdrawing show vehicles that are all completely covered. If the stuff is in Bekaa, then I think Assad will try to move it back to Syria.

Maybe, but the the problems he is having in Lebanon can be easily transferred to Syria. What if instead of Beirut, you have 1.5 million people in the streets of Damascus? How long can the regime survive? Obviously it is now harder to stop manifestations since he has 150 000 US troops on his border. Would it no be better for him to give us the WMD's, then blame it all on the Hezbollahs and Iran? This way he becomes a Ga-daffy or a Mubarak, i.e. a new champion of change. Obviously he gets to stay in power.
