#2 I know that Debka is not always a good source, but this is what they have been saying since the war with Iraq started! Why we are not going in and securing Syria I do not know.

#3 So it would seem. I suspect this aspect of the story may evaporate, and I'm not sure why...

Sarcasm, Dragonfly?

No matter what WMD are either not WMDs or not from Iraq. Why Bush, and the allies would be right (Blair, etc.), and EVERYONE ELSE would be wrong. This does not fit with the worldwide Kerry for President campaign!

#4 "Laboratory tests on the poison gas smuggled from Syria into Jordan by al Qaeda terrorists earlier this month could determine whether their weapons came from Iraq."

Aside from the "Made in Iraq" label, how else would we be able to tell where the WMDs were made?

#5 Daniel King :

They do have the lab stuff from the chems that Saddam admitted to, and were destroyed after Gulf War I in 1991. If the same methods were used, they would create the same chemical fingerprint.

Now, you might say that other places would use the same technology. But "Made in Iraq" would be determined from the impurities, etc that are location specific.

It is the same for any chemical process whether it is chem weapons, for food or whatever.

Saddam would follow the same cookbook at restart. No need to reinvent anything if the old recipe worked. Ask Kurds and Iranians about that aspect.
