You are flogging a dead horse. The UN Resolutions required Saddam to
disarm. *If* Saddam shipped his weapons off to Syria before the war, he
was disarmed. So, no casus belli.

You seem to be locked into this Syria WMD thing. Syria has WMD. In fact,
their chemical WMD capability is considered unequaled in the middle-east.
I have said this before, there is no reason for Syria to accept Saddam's
second rate WMD. While you and I may not like the fact that Syria has
WMD, as a sovereign nation, they are completely within their rights to
have WMD.

Just to refresh your memory:

Could 'timing' play a role Mr. Thunder? I can envision this scenario next, "He
may have had them when the troops boarded the ship, but the WMD were in Syria
when the troops landed. Therefore, no casus belli!"
