"Besides, the idea that Saddam transferred his weapons to Syria is absurd. If he had any, he would have used them against the invasion forces."

Oh, you're right.

Saddam was, after all, shown to be a fine military strategist and tactician.

CJ,

Saddam has used chemical weapons in the past. So yeah, he did have them.

Of course, there was a long period of time between then and the moment Hans Blix showed up at the front door of Saddam's palace. That's plenty of time to ship them elsewhere. Syria? Who knows?

Assad is probably doing the same thing with his WMD. Why else would his foreign minister be open to UN inspections, unless they were convinced that they're being framed by the rebels?
