"The News We Kept to Ourselves"

That was, without hyperbole, one of the most disgustingly inhumane accounts of anything I've ever read...

is Syria next?

[Andrew]

is Syria next?

If they have oil and no democratic government why not? ::)

(I don't know if they do have oil or a democratic gov.)

[Acriku]

Actually, there was said evidence from Rumsfeld that Iraqi soldiers from the regime went to Syria, and a CIA report says that Syria has the nerve agent sarin, and is continuing to make more nerve agents. But Syria has been involved with the hunt for al-Queda, so they probably won't be next, unless the said evidence is true.

[lowzeewee]

But anyway where is the WMD in Iraq?Don't have it?Just want it as an excuse to steal those oil fields?Well,why is Syria the next one to go just after Iraq just because they have oil >:(

They better find Saddam before they get one marine's boot in >:(

And the WMD is still not found and Iraq has been invaded already,isn't that invasion >:(

[Dude_Doc]

And what if they find WMDs? The war isn't over yet. Be happy that the Iraqis got their freedom at least.

[lowzeewee]

The PROOF of WMD still hasn't even found yet,not even the location of it >:(

Yes,But I am happy for the Iraqis though,if they could manage the oil fields by themselves instead ;)

[Anathema]

The US did claim to have evidence of Iraqi MDW, link to al-Quada and nuclear program before the war started. I'm wondering when they're going to show us.

[Anathema]

If they can't find MDW in the next few days (they should already know where they are, because they claimed to have "evidence"), you can always claim that Sadam stashed them all up in Syria. Brilliant.

Next: Syria Issues?

[Acriku]

Iraq is a big country. Even if they find "suspect" weapons, it takes a long time for valid results to come back.

[Gobalopper]

Syria had better be careful. It's a little odd that a lot of the foriegn fighters are coming from their countries and its known that some of Saddam's people have gone to Syria. I don't think it will lead to war though.

"training materials on weapons of mass destruction","it could be a storage site for weapons of mass destruction"and"but that it wasn't clear whether the material instructed soldiers how to use such agents -- or how to protect against them."

So there is still a possibility that Iraq has WMD :O

From Drudge:

The SUNDAY TELEGRAPH is reporting that papers found by reporters at Iraq's bombed out intelligence service building provide evidence of a direct link between Saddam Hussein's regime and Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida...

According to the papers, an al-Qaida envoy met with officials in Baghdad in March 1998 to create a relationship based upon a mutual hate of the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. An unidentified Western intelligence official describes the find as 'sensational.' MORE///

No surprise at all. Exactly as stated. Exactly as predicted. Exactly as dictated by common sense. Excellent, I was looking for that original source. I had this version, which contains some info reported by the Sunday Times as well;
