Yup, I'm thinking this War on Terrorism will surpass America's longest
war, the War on Drugs, and with about the same success.
I disagree. Syria was stupid enough to send military aid and terrorists
to Iraq. They were also dumb enough to skirt the oil embargo, hide
Saddam's money, and give sanctuary to many of the Baath Party officials
from Saddam's regime (possible even Saddam and his sons initially). Of
course, seeing how serious we were about making them the next target,
they stopped supplying the military hardware, and threw out the
officials. Perhaps they accepted the WMD, but later figured that
either: a) turning them over would still not prevent a U.S. attack, or
b) they could hide them effectively enough, and we couldn't find them
unless we actually invaded Syria. I believe "b".
Puhleese, judging from the amount of illegal aliens we have, we haven't
done a very good job of policing our borders. Why are you holding Syria
to a higher standard? A third world country unable to police hundreds of
miles of desert wasteland, perhaps Bush should instruct Syria on
establishing a Department of Homeland Security. Syria did try to seal
it's border:

The bugs from the bioweapons could be replicated easily and kept alive
indefinitely...and the technology would never "turn to goo".
LOL, now you are sounding like the Bush administration. So now, it is not
WMD, it is WMD related programs.
Even David Kay speculated that Iraq shipped to Syria small quantities of
WMD and the technology to produce them .
Speculated? Reminds me of an old Bush quote, "There's an old saying in
Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, it's probably in Tennessee - that says,
fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. It fool me. We can't get fooled
again." Just how many countries are you willing to invade over the same
WMD, *without* ever having seen *any* of said WMD. The WMD is in Iraq.
Whoops, no, it is in Syria. Whoops, no, it is in Iran. Whoops, no, it's
in ... Try selling this somewhere else, I'm not buying.
