Nobody "proved" what got shipped to Syria (and what didn't), not you, and not anyone else- but when it comes to resolving doubts, I'd say your track record is against you if we are "guessing" about what happened.

My guess? Truckloads of cash and valuables to be stashed in comfy hidey holes. Dictators who think their time may be up are a lot more concerned with valuables than they are with WMD. I don't know why more people haven't mentioned this possibility. There were huge sums of money missing when Iraq was invaded. Now some people say a lot of that money was looted- but what if it had already been shipped out? Were I in Saddam's spot, I would have been shipping valuables out just as fast as I could.
