Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction are in...

Wait....if a journalist was pretty sure the WMD's were in Syria a month before the US just had to attack Iraq, wouldn't we have at least looked there?

And this is my plea to you all, try not to make this thread into a 5 page thread which gets closed.

Well I'm sure the journalist thought of it... but maybe being in his death bed with terminal cancer, he decided to tell us all....

I think they sent guys into Syria before. But they only sent 5 people or something. I remember Jay Leno making fun of that.

Syria is a problem.. you can't just go in there looking for WMD, even if you're from the UN.

I hope the Bush administration doesn't metaphorically flip off the UN again. If they're going weapon hunting in Syria and Sudan it's going to have to be done by the books.

LOL, too true...

But seriously, something has to be happening with that information. We can't assume that they are doing nothing about Syria upstairs.

I have to agree. While I believe the UN to be a corrupt collection of former world powers who basically use their organization as a means to keep political and economic influence, the rest of the world views them as some sort of altruistic authority. In short, if the US has the UN behind them the rest of the world won't be able to continue to bitch and moan about how evil the US is.

Cut in the UN on some of the action, and watch France, Russia and Germany suddenly get behind us. Its a horrible thought to me to reward the UN for basically looking the other way on Iraq while collecting billions in cladestine Oil for Food profits, but at this point I think its a necessary evil.
