The German daily newspaper Die Welt claims that Syria tested chemical weapons on civilians in Sudan's Darfur region in June resulting in the deaths of dozens of people. The newspaper says that "unnamed western security sources" indicated that the weapons tests were undertaken following a military exercise between Syria and Sudan. The accusations appear in an advance release of its Wednesday edition. The United States has accused Syria in the past of trying to acquire materials and the know-how to develop chemical weapons and claims that Sudan has been seeking to improve its capability to produce them for many years.

Makes one wonder if the contents of those trucks crossing the Iraq/Syria border went south. Analysis of known Iraqi chemical weapons would be hard evidence to everyone but CBS.

No. That couldn't be possible. There are no chemical weapons or any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, Syria, or any region in the Middle East. And there were never any al-Qaeda in Iraq either.

This is a war for oil. Nothing else. So these articles are completely false. Please remit all of these to CBS for responsible and accurate reporting. :) Hehe!
