Seriously harris, I would like to see you post something that discredits my theory that they were shipped out of country prior to the invasion.
Good luck.

Or, maybe they’re in Canada. Or Lichtenstein. Or up Hank Aaron’s ass.
You really want me to find proof that something DIDN’T happen?
Logic 101.
Flamer,
I think the “proof” lies in the fact that the administration does not make this claim. It is only talking heads that say such a thing… which of course doesn’t mean squat.
The following document goes on and on, but I think the paragraph pulled out shows that the administration has been looking very hard at Syria since at least 2003. If anything went there, we’d have heard about it by now…
Syria’s Weapons of Mass Destruction and Missle Development Programs (16-Sep-2003)
Before I address the specifics of Syria?s WMD programs, let me first discuss press reports that Iraq covertly transferred weapons of mass destruction to Syria in an attempt to hide them from UN inspectors and Coalition forces. We have seen these reports, reviewed them carefully, and see them as cause for concern. Thus far, we have been unable to confirm that such transfers occurred. We are continuing with the full breadth of resources at our command to seek conclusive evidence that any such transfer has taken place. We have raised with the Syrians on numerous occasions, even before military action against Iraq, the seriousness with which we would view any transfer of Iraqi dual-use or military related items into Syria.
Also, please note, cause for concerns means they took the reports seriously, not that they found the reports to actually have merit.
The most important statement, given that it was made in 2003, from within the snippet above:
We are continuing with the full breadth of resources at our command to seek conclusive evidence that any such transfer has taken place.
If they were there, I believe they would have been found, and you and I both know very well that the administration would love more than anything to be able to claim to have found Iraq’s WMD’s. If they haven’t, they can’t, and that means, they (Iraq) didn’t (have any), which is why the administration is admitting the intelligence was in fact faulty.
I think it is time to accept that… instead of holding out hope they are still stuffed up Saddam’s arse.
