Saddam Moved WMD's to Syria

[4a6c1]

The Israeli officer, Lieutenant General Moshe Yaalon, asserted that Saddam spirited his chemical weapons out of the country on the eve of the war. "He transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria," General Yaalon told The New York Sun over dinner in New York on Tuesday night. "No one went to Syria to find it."

From July 2002 to June 2005, when he retired, General Yaalon was chief of staff of the Israel Defense Force, the top job in the Israeli military, analogous to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the American military. He is now a military fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He made similar, but more speculative, remarks in April 2004 that attracted little notice in America; at that time he was quoted as saying of the Iraqi weapons, "Perhaps they transferred them to another country, such as Syria."

Nothing new, but fun to see that the pot is still being stirred.

I couldn't find a cross-reference on http://www.foxnews.com/ but I am assured that the vintage Iraqi snowcone makers of mass delicious cherry flavor have fallen into the hands of all the Syrians. Yes.

They're...interesting. I wouldn't say their conservative bias shows influence by Bush, but they've definitely said some wacky things before.

I honestly believe that the weapons were moved to Syria. Why wouldn't Saddam move them there? Thats exactly what I would have done if I were him, because even if the Americans invade all this would happen. It would make the US lose respect and trust in the international community, and that is far more damaging than anything Saddam could've done militarily. I've always thought that he moved the weapons somewhere, or hid them very well.

We know the son of a bitch had weapons, and he hadn't used em all yet. We KNOW this for a FACT because we have the receipts. We sold it to him. So unless he blew all that shit up, it's still somewhere out there. Makes perfect sense that they would be transferred to Syria.

And....we dismantled them in the 90s.

I mean, honestly, d'y'all think UNSCOM did nothing for 8 years?

I love it when anti-Bush conspiracies are considered the 'gospel' and yet when anything remotely resembling a Republican or pro-Bush conspiracy comes out its... wacko.

:lol:

Pretty fucking funny considering your pre-scripted Fox News-esque responses to legitimate complaints about the President.

Only when said complaints are so move-on.org'esque that it smacks of liberal left winged rhetoric. At least be not afraid to admit you're sitting on the first row of the anti-Bush bandwagon.

Uh... we're clearly reading two different boards. My most recent complaint had to deal with surveillance, sans warrant. Move On's still trying to whine about Alito.

Tell me you'd want Hillary Clinton directing wiretaps on citizens without warrants. Then I'll laugh. Nothing "MoveOn" about it.

Probably because you quoted me as I was discussing the WMD issue, not the wiretaps. Ergo thats my response to your response to my quote.

Which boards were you reading? I was reading and posting on the PC in a thread titled Saddam Moved WMD's to Syria.

Funny. Here I thought I was commenting on a think tank, something pretty much nobody considers "conspiracy theorist" in general, given as a think tank's policies often put a spin on things. That one happens to be pro-Israel more than anything else, which is not necessarily pro-Bush at all, but is not very likely to be pro-Arab.

If you mean the other quote, you know your own behavior. I wasn't referring to this thread, which I think may be on target, though it is important to watch out for pro-Israeli bias, which is still very definitely bias.

You've never deviated from a Republican talking point other than on Harriet Miers, and a fair portion of the party agreed with you there.
