D J McGuire at The Right Wing Liberal brings our attention to an interesting article that indicates Syria is close to having nuclear capability (read weapons) and it is because of the items shipped to Syria by Saddam Hussein’s sons prior to and just after the beginning of the war. The article from the Washington DC Examiner reports:
But what really broke the camel’s back was a recent report from the well-informed Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al Seyassah. It quoted European intelligence sources as saying that “Syria has an advanced nuclear program†in a secret site located in the province of Al Hassaka, close to the Turkish and Iraqi borders. British sources quoted by the paper believe that “it is President Assad’s brother, Colonel Maher Assad and his cousin Rami Makhlouf, who supervise the program.â€
This nuclear weapons program is based on material that Saddam Hussein’s two sons shipped to Syria before — and during — the U.S. war against Iraq. According to the Kuwaiti newspaper, this explains why international investigative teams found no proof of Hussein’s nuclear program. [my emphasis]
It would seem that earlier assertions by many people including yours truly, that Hussein sent WMD to Syria were right on target. Now those items are being used to develop nuclear weapons that can, in turn, be used to cause havoc int he region and in this country. Given the alliance between Iran and Syria and the hatred of Israel by all people Muslim it is not hard to imagine these items being used to carry out Ahmadinejad’s desire to wipe Israel off the map.
The next time some liberal, especially some liberal politician, tells you there were no WMD you tell them that they will know for sure when one detonates int heir neighborhood. Of course, now that the Democrats are in charge we will hear talk about certain countries and how dangerous they are. There is only real danger when a Democrat is in control as it was when Clinton was asleep at the helm.
