>>I still think they shipped the incriminating stuff to Syria. They had plenty of opportunity, and it was just Saddam's style. This was a guy who buried MIGs in the desert.<<

Nadine -

Really. Then why hasn't Syria used it? Or given it to the insurgents to use? Why hasn't it fallen into the hands of terrorists? You do realize that most of the stuff Saddam was suspected of having has a shelf life, right?

By the way, the MIGs he buried were non-functioning MIGs for which he had no spare parts, and which he had no way of making air-worthy again. Of course if Hannity mentions them, he won't mention that part.

"There was uncertainty." One of the best reasons I can think of for postponing a pre-emptive invasion .

Ah, the buried MIGs! Considering that Saddam didn't even have slingshots to defend himself when the invaders came, the MIGs were buried in sand because Saddam didn't have tarpaulin covers for them!

And how would those MIGs take off anyway? Try burying your car in sand for a week, and then try starting it, moron!
