"Syria is one of the eight countries in the world that never signed a treaty banning WMDs and now is the storehouse for much of what remains of Saddam's WMD empire.This was the target of the recent Israeli air strike.

Although the first part of this paragraph may be true, I highly doubt the second (highlighted) part.

Why would the Israeli's blow up evidence of Saddam's WMD's?

Wouldn't make sense.

Because the Israelis might be more than a little worried the WMDs would be used on them?

Just a guess, and a really obvious one.

“Why would the Israeli’s blow up evidence of Saddam’s WMD’s?

Wouldn’t make sense.”

It does make sense when you consider that the Iranians have long range Shahab milliles with a range of about 1500 to 2000 miles- capable of hitting Israel from Iran as well as some US military bases located in the ME (see the URL)..Syria is the middleman in these arms sales, as well as the storehouse for the WMD’s...

It said later that the Syrians were going to use some of it to create “dirty” bomb material for use against Israel.

Israel does not have liberals they don’t need evidence just safety. There are no Clintons, Kennedys, Boxers etc to dispute anything. They only care about their people something liberals need to learn.

Suppose a mugger is holding you at gunpoint, but you happened to know for a fact a way to disarm him. Sure, you might smudge his fingerprints on the gun, but that isn’t really what’s at the forefront of your decision to act, is it? You’re not thinking about his conviction, you’re thinking about your survival.

Because the Syrians were not just holding the stuff, but building their own program based on Saddam's stuff. A big headstart. Syrian nukes would be even more dangerous to Israel than Iraqi ones would have been, and about on par with Iranian ones.
