The big answer — If Russia was involved in the shipments as has been claimed, then that was probably a can of worms Bush preferred to leave unopened.
Of course not, the left said GW Bush et al were lying, there are no weapons.
Kinda sad when Syria having these things is the better option.
Now you're saying that those weapons of mass destruction that they didn't have are on the verge of falling into the hands of Israel's enemies?
Hmmmmmmm............, Bush was right after all huh? I wonder IF ANYONE IN THE MSM WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND APOLOGIZE FOR LYING TO US ALL THESE YEARS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??
Nah, I didn't think so either.
Ping WMDs trace. Iraq to Syria to Hezbollah?
There were no WMDs according to the Dems. Buahahahahaha!
Now Asad is about to deploy them.
Many of us on FR said that the Russians whisked them out of Iraq to Syria prior to the invasion of Iraq. And now we see them yet again in Syria. Looks like the Russian trucking industry is not on the job as it was in Iraq years ago, knowing they have nothing to fear from Obamacrats.
Greenfield did this update a few minutes ago...

This is a real mess that just grows more volatile with each passing day. The Democrats own this, every death, every horrible event. They could have been patriots, but smearing Bush was more important to them at the time. This is the result of their treason.
Somehow I doubt Assad will be deploying chemical weapons, but I wouldn’t put it past the allah akbar crowd to kill civilians with anything they can get their hands on, they do want a NATO delivery like NATO gave Libya. It’s islam, it’s cunning and you can’t go far wrong if you think the worst. You’ve seen how the brave fighters who send rockets into Israel station themselves in suburban areas close to family homes - everyone that dies, including the women and children are martyrs for allah. They are all going to paradise!
Are you forgetting how ‘religious’ those freedom fighters are?
What we’re seeing is the result of Democrat treason from at least 2003 onward. Although much of it predates the arrival of Obama in Washington, his skirts are just as filthy. He bought the Party line and amplified it once he had the voice.
Those “reports” came from the “rebels” (AQ), who have their own supplies of chemical weapons because they attacked and seized a chlorine gas plant in Syria a week or so ago - and the plant was also a storage place for other chemical weapons that Saddam had shipped to Syria, so presumably they have a wide variety of chemical weapons. Probably many of them are now expired, but I’m sure there are a lot left that could do damage.
So it looks to me like the “rebels” are staging a chemical attack with their own recently acquired chemical weapons in order to give Obama a pretext for coming in and supporting AQ, once again.
Uh, was Cheney lying too? He also said there were no WMDs.
The Cheney Exit Interview, CBS, Feb 11 2009
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162-4697548.html
Bob Schieffer: “We got a big part of it wrong,” Schieffer said. “There weren’t any weapons of mass destruction.”
Dick Cheney: “Correct. The original intelligence was wrong, no question about it. But there were parts of it that were right. It wasn’t 100 percent wrong. It was correct in saying he had the technology. It was correct in saying he still had the people who knew how to build weapons of mass destruction. I think it was also correct in the assessment that once sanctions came off, he would go back to doing what he had been doing before.
“Where it was wrong was [where it] said he had stockpiles, and he clearly didn’t.”
Does this mean we now have to invade Syria based on WMD claims?
You left out the rest:
“”How do you think we got it so wrong?” Schieffer asked. “I mean, we thought he had weapons of mass destruction and he didn’t; we thought we would be greeted with open arms and we weren’t. What happened?”
“Well, I don’t look at it as we got it so wrong, Bob.”
Where it was wrong was [where it] said he had stockpiles, and he clearly didn’t. So the intelligence was flawed. But you never have perfect intelligence in this business. You have got to deal with the best you can in terms of making your decisions.”
“Do you think that perhaps you’d looked at the intelligence and saw what you wanted to see rather than make a real logical analysis of what you saw?” Schieffer asked.
“It wasn’t a matter just of us looking and seeing what we wanted to see. Everybody believed that intelligence. Saddam Hussein had peddled that notion to his senior officers and officials. They all believed he had weapons of mass destruction. The intelligence services of other countries, the Clinton administration that had been there for eight years before we had, had exactly the same conclusion that we had. And we had numerous reports afterwards with all the studies that were done - the Robb-Silberman commission, the Senate Intelligence Committee - that said that there was no manipulation of the data, no pressure brought to bear on the analysis. This is what they saw, and they got part of it wrong.”
.....
Cheney didn’t say there were no WMD. He said they found no stockpiles.
Thanks smoothsailing.
They are all going to paradise!
Are you forgetting how religious those freedom fighters are?>>>>>
Thousands of them will now have to be sent to paradise.The USA has admitted supplying them with Libyan arms, shipped to Syria.
