WMDs in Syria: How very interesting
Syria announced Monday that it has chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction. It then quickly clarified that it would never use them — “if they exist” — against its own citizens, only against foreign attackers, the New York Times and others are reporting. It was a calculated statement clearly intended to warn the West.
But what I want to know is this: Where did Syria get WMDs? It’s been an open secret for years. It couldn’t be that Syria got them from Saddam Hussein, could it? No, no, no. Of course not. Saddam didn’t have any weapons of mass destruction, as we all know. That was only a cynical lie cooked up by Bush and Blair to justify invading Iraq.
I do seem to recall, though, the surveillance photos of convoys of Iraqi trucks crossing into Syria as Iraq war was heating up. There was speculation by analysts that the trucks could have contained WMDs or components that Saddam was getting rid of quick.
I don’t believe this for a second. They were probably just shipments of expired milk.
