Am I the only one that thinks a great deal of Saddam's chemical weapons were moved to Syria after he knew we were coming after him?



So on the eve of invasion, when the entire world knew what was about to happen, Saddam sent his weapons of mass destruction to another country? You think he thought once we invaded and found none we'd just tell him "never mind" and let him go about his business?

Sent some out of country, some were picked up by foreign parties, some were dumped at sea, and the rest were stored by a govt agency that looks about as competent as the ACA rollout.

Being fairly new around here I actually thought you may be one of the more intelligent points of view from across the aisle. Boy have I never been so wrong. Surely to God you're not that naïve.

Actually that is not that crazy. Saddam sent his airforce to Iran during the Gulf War to keep it from being destroyed. It is very plausible that Saddam knew that his military couldn't stand up to the Americans. So he sends some of his WMD to Syria is exchange for asylum. Assad then gets the WMD and goes back on his word and doesn't let Saddam in and he is stuck hiding in a hole.

The UN inspectors were trying to inspect his facilities for 2 years. Him booting them out the last time is what triggered the war.
