I was not being facetious. I was simply saying had they moved in a convoy of that size we would have spotted it. The WT article confirms that we saw them, this is an indicator of the content.

The circumstantial evidence builds!

A lot of people have said this is what happened, including somebody who should know;

Ex-Official: Russia Moved Saddam's WMD

"The short answer to the question of where the WMD Saddam bought from the Russians went was that they went to Syria and Lebanon," former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense John A. Shaw told an audience Saturday at a privately sponsored "Intelligence Summit" in Alexandria, Va. (www.intelligencesummit.org).

"They were moved by Russian Spetsnaz (special forces) units out of uniform, that were specifically sent to Iraq to move the weaponry and eradicate any evidence of its existence," he said.

Shaw has dealt with weapons-related issues and export controls as a U.S. government official for 30 years, and was serving as deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security when the events he described today occurred.

Whose to say we didn't?

You have to remember, that at the time these convoys were traveling to Syria, we hadn't attacked Iraq as yet and weren't on the ground to stop them.

At that point, there just wouldn't have been anything that we could have done about it anyway.

I think the U.S. knows where they went, but, unless they want to start a fight with Syria, they aren't going to go after them.

IMO
