		<description>What does it matter when the WMD were transferred?  The scare scenario was WMD falling into the hands of terrorists.  If the WMD were already in Syria then the invasion of Iraq accomplished nothing to prevent the WMD falling into the hands of terrorists, did it?  If we're safe to have had the WMD sent to Syria then if the WMD were sent there we didn't need the war at all.

You guys simply don't put together credible stories.  Only because the MSM let you get away with outrageously stupid claims do you get away with them.</description>

		<description>The claim was that Iraq sent the weapons to Syria pre-inspections/invasion.

		<description>The ISG did not find the claimed WMD.  

Bush so far has gotten everything he has demanded.  He's commander-in-chief, he's the decider.  The evidence screams out that he did not, as commander-in-chief, require any of the US military to secure anything in Iraq (other than the oil fields.)  If he was after WMD he didn't show it by his actions.  There are enough reports of the US military ignoring ammunition warehouses to make it obvious that no serious effort was made to secure any armaments, WMD or conventional.

In a war justified by claims of WMDs in Iraq you'd think that the military would be instructed to find and secure WMD ASAP.  They were not so instructed, as shown by the complete inattention toward munitions warehouses.  

The official word from the US ISG is that the claimed WMD were not found.  Again, if the charge is made that the WMD were shipped to Syria (or anywhere else) that amounts to a claim that Bush did not, as commander-in-chief, pursue a policy to secure the WMD that he claimed were the grounds for the invasion.  If the WMD were indeed a threat (and even more of a threat if they coulds be passed to terrorists) then allowing them to be shipped to Syria, which is one of the right-wing claims, was total dereliction of duty, as it not?</description>

		<description>hewhoasks noted that frontpagemag.com is biased.  So what facts did their bias cause them to mistakenly characterize?  That is the important comment to make.  A simplistic accusation of bias gives the impression that the accuser has no better information at hand.

Not only were WMD found in Iraq, nerve gas was used against US troops. 

The somewhat ineffectual "way" that was used against the Iraqi WMD was not "Bush's way" it was the "American republican balance of power way" combined with the "UN way".  The "American republican balance of power way" and the "UN way" were designed to be ineffectual.   When those two ways are combined, the combined way is stunningly ineffectual.  That is why the designers of the "American republican balance of power way" also included the "Commander-in-chief way" which Bush could not envision using because that way has been slandered almost to death.

In addition, the terrorist thugs (aka "insurgents" or "freedom fighters") are not troubled with having to use any ineffectual ways or with the intentional killing of civilians, including children.  That is why they have begun using more easily obtained WMD.</description>

		<description>Note the date: June, 1997.

frontpagemag.com is a highly biased source, and that's a mild statement.

The bottom line is that no WMD were found.  Even if you believe the claim that the WMD were moved to Syria you have to also believe that Bush's way was ineffectual against the WMD.</description>
