#1 Look for more of these "revelations" as pressure continues to build on these two countries.

Also, look for the NoKos to continue to rachet things up a few notches as pressure builds on Iran and Syria. There appears to be a three-way symbiotic relationship.

#2 "Just 'put em over there boys...that's it, right next Saddam's old WMD's. He won't be needin' them anymore."

#3 Syria has signed a pledge to store ~~Iranian~~ Iraqi WMD ~~nuclear weapons~~ and missiles.

Appears to be something of a pattern in development here.

#6 It's difficult to believe that Asshead is actually this stupid. While Syria is less-than-famous for nimble diplomacy and deft statecraft, this is profoundly moronic. It provides every justification for military action while giving further creedence to suspicions that they did, indeed, help secrete Iraqi WMDs. This is so d@mning that it might as well be an elegant bit of disinformation.

#7 Baby-I-Doc is that stupid. He's got to know that both we, and the Israleis have a microwave-a-mullah weapon at the ready that can be "diverted" on a side trip to Damascus, if need be...

He just has so much beravado in his miniscule bedouin soul, that he thinks, like the man on trial in Baghdad, that he is impervious to any and all forms of justice...

#9 D_P_A: Point taken, but this is Jane's, not Debka. Yesterday's reported release of Dr. Germ and Mrs. Anthrax signals the closing act of the Iraq War. Syria and Iran must come next.

#10 #2. My first thought, Pilot, when I read the headline. Great minds, same channel, etc.

#11 Iran would also be prepared to operate "advanced weapon systems in Syria during a military confrontation."

That's going to sit well in Israel.
