Liberals Will Dismiss This Information About WMD and Syria

D J McGuire at The Right Wing Liberal brings our attention to an interesting article that indicates Syria is close to having nuclear capability (read weapons) and it is because of the items shipped to Syria by Saddam Hussein’s sons prior to and just after the beginning of the war. The article from the Washington DC Examiner reports:
But what really broke the camel’s back was a recent report from the well-informed Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al Seyassah. It quoted European intelligence sources as saying that “Syria has an advanced nuclear program†in a secret site located in the province of Al Hassaka, close to the Turkish and Iraqi borders. British sources quoted by the paper believe that “it is President Assad’s brother, Colonel Maher Assad and his cousin Rami Makhlouf, who supervise the program.â€
This nuclear weapons program is based on material that Saddam Hussein’s two sons shipped to Syria before — and during — the U.S. war against Iraq. According to the Kuwaiti newspaper, this explains why international investigative teams found no proof of Hussein’s nuclear program. [my emphasis]
It would seem that earlier assertions by many people including yours truly, that Hussein sent WMD to Syria were right on target. Now those items are being used to develop nuclear weapons that can, in turn, be used to cause havoc int he region and in this country. Given the alliance between Iran and Syria and the hatred of Israel by all people Muslim it is not hard to imagine these items being used to carry out Ahmadinejad’s desire to wipe Israel off the map.
The next time some liberal, especially some liberal politician, tells you there were no WMD you tell them that they will know for sure when one detonates int heir neighborhood. Of course, now that the Democrats are in charge we will hear talk about certain countries and how dangerous they are. There is only real danger when a Democrat is in control as it was when Clinton was asleep at the helm.

Well, the only consolation is that America really does have a lot of nukes. Now if we could just find someone with the balls to use them.
I’m not so sure that Iran and Syria have a close alliance. They both have the same ends in mind as far as the U.S. is concerned, but otherwise they are rivals in the region and in Iraq.
Still, it’s disturbing that the Syrian WMD program may be as advanced as it was. And you probably won’t read much about this in the MSM because of the reference to the move of the WMD from Saddam’s arsenal prior to and during the war. That just doesn’t fit their template.
I appreciate the comments. I guess by alliance I mean that enemy of my enemy philosophy they employ. Since Israel and the US are both their enemies they are allied against us to that end.
I’m sorry, Perri, but Syria and Iran are far from “rivals.” Syria was the only Arab nation to back Iran during its 1980-88 war with Saddam. Also, Syria is the only other Shi’ite tyranny in the Middle East (the population is majority Sunni, but the Assad family is Allawite Shi’ite). The Damascus-Tehran alliance is a lot closer than most people think.

A long time ago I warned…….
….that would should be worried about where Sadaam’s WMD were, not whether there were any. Common sense said that all the major intelligence agencies of the world could not have been wrong about the existence of those weapons. Yet libe……
