So, a country in which we enforced a no-fly zone for, what, a dozen years, kept electronic surveillance on, pointed our satellites at, was able to move WMD from point A to point B without our knowledge. And we have not got a clue? Ouch.
Oh we had a clue.
Remember the Russian "diplomatic evacuation convoy" that got bombed "by mistake" at the onset of the war, as it headed from Baghdad to Syria? Too little too late.
It's amazing what large mass quantities of material can be moved under seal of diplomatic pouch.
And remember that enough bio/chem/toxin materiel to decimate millions of people would fit into several large tanker trucks.
The History Channel did a documentary on Saddam's WMD's and showed nighttime video of trucks moving "something" into Syria. Darned if I can remember the name of the documentary and even tried to find the story in the archives. Very powerful stuff and included his visuals of the many underground bunkers.

I believe that our gummint knows the reality but refuses to admit it. If GWB, in his presser today said,"We know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the wmd's from sadman's iraq are in syria". The first question would be, "What are you going to do"? I don't think GWB is ready to take on syria when we are looking at iran. Assad knows that if he lets those weapons out and they are used, there will be no place called damascus. Nor syria. Period.
