And what were the terms of the loan of WMD to Syria? Does Syria get to
keep the WMDs and used them as they see fit or is Syria supposed to return
them to Iraq at some future time?

What loan? Somewhere along the line, you are just going to have to accept
the fact there were no WMD. Let me ask you something. Do you remember
the Iraqi planes that fled to Iran in the Gulf War? Well, Saddam never
got them back. Do you actually believe he was dumb enough to give Syria
WMD? Before answering, remember Syria sided with Iran in the Iran-Iraq
War and also sided with the UN/US in the first Gulf War.

And, what will you say or do when Syria starts raining death down upon the
middle east? Will you still say that Syria is a sovereign nation and that
they can do what they want with their WMDs?

Oh please. If we are going to eliminate all weapons, perhaps we should
start by not adding to the mix. I'm sure you have heard of the F-16 deal
with Pakistan. Let's see, a semi-stable nuclear capable country involved
in a border dispute with another nuclear capable country, a country with
*confirmed* ties to al Qaeda and the Taliban , a country with *proven*
ties to nuclear proliferation . . . Personally, I think Syria is of less
concern.
