You may well be right. Frankly, I hope so, at the same time I do not want to see any of those weapons used either. The war was launched on WMD issue, and this matter is beyond any left-right politics imho. The Muslim world would make a real big noise about it. opps.. UK government gets custard (Syrian arms and chemicals flavor) pie for Sunday breakfast... The DTI's 2001 report states that among we exported to Syria were: 'toxic chemical precursors', 'equipment for the use of military infrared/thermal imaging equipiment' and 'military flying helmets'. In 2000 more 'toxic chemical precursors' were exported to Syria as well as military helmets and components for military communications. Similar such equipment was sold to Syria in 1999 and trade secretary Patricia Hewitt has given an 'open licence' for the export of 'equipment for the use of submachine guns, assault rifles and sniper rifles'. politics.guardian.co.uk so what are we doing here??? Selling WMD and arms to ME nutball countries and then preparing to invade them?? here is more.. British and US intelligence has long suspected Syria has been used by Saddam Hussein to smuggle military hardware into Iraq. Last June intelligence sources suggest that Saddam was using a railway network linked to Syria for a smuggling operation supplying Baghdad with a vast range of military equipment and parts for weapons of mass destruction. oh geez, thats "intelligence"? and.. Richard Bingley, a spokesman for the Campaign Against The Arms Trades said: 'UK ministers are in self-denial here. They believe Syria is developing weapons of mass destruction but naively refust to accept that British-supplied equipment will be diverted either into these programmes or neigbouring Iraq.' Syria has claimed the recent US accusations are 'absolutely unfounded'. so the plan is now (I guess) we KNOW you have WMD!!! we sold them to you AND HAVE THE RECIEPTS -LOL-
