BUT DID THE WMD GO TO SYRIA?



Regular readers will know that I have frequently speculated that Saddam may well have exported his WMD (which DID exist) pre-war to Syria - the only other Ba'athist dictatorship in the region.



Now it is revealed that at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Oct. 6, Charles Duelfer, an adviser to the CIA, did not rule out Saddam's transfer of Iraqi missiles and weapons of mass destruction to Syria, reports Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service.



Duelfer agreed that a large amount of material had been transferred by Iraq to Syria before the March 2003 war. "A lot of materials left Iraq and went to Syria," Duelfer said. "There was certainly a lot of traffic across the border points. We've got a lot of data to support that, including people discussing it."
