Interesting idea, but there are problems with it.

1) There is little or no reason for us not to go after it, whether
Syria
likes it or not.

Well, whether you want to believe it or not, there is a limit to the
number
of things we can do simultaneously on the ground. And, as they have
done
in
past circumstances, they will try the diplomatic route first. When and
if
that fails, look for boots on the ground.

we've already demonstrated that we have little or no regard for the
sovereignty of other countries. Why not just tell the Bashar al-Asad
that
we're stopping by for a little visit?

disregard puerile rant

2) It's still a condemnation of the cowboy who waved his dick at
Saddam
for
close to a year before actually doing anything. You want a great
conspiracy
theory? Bush *wanted* to give Saddam plenty of time to move the stuff
over
the border.

Let's assume for the moment that you're on the right track. How does
that
jibe with your oft-repeated premise that GW is an incompetent moron who
couldn't find his ass with two hands and a flashlight? Morons are not
usually adept at strategic chess.

He's not adept, but his sitters are. So is his father, who started all
this.
Who knows what he'd do to insure that his boy had an income stream after
the
next election?

Have you thought about both reasons why Nookular Boy (meaning "his
sitters")
might've wanted to give Saddam time to clean up his back yard?


I can think of a reason:
When Saddam sends the weapons to Syria, we can then blast the hell out of
Syria.
