I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

#3 But everyone knows it is impossible for middle eastern despots to possess chemical weapons. Clearly, this is a dodge meant to distract us from the real threat to Syria; rising sea levels.

#4 I wonder if Syria is really that stupid. But, it seems that arabs rarely learn from their mistakes. So, go ahead Syria. Make an easily targeted and taken out bunker complex. Put all your WMDs in there along with your leadership. It is safe. Really. We have nothing that we can give Israel to take it out. Truly.

#5 Think missiles and the Kursk.
One exploding on the inside is not beyond possible.

#7 I hope they are dumb enough to put all their eggs in one basket, but I doubt it. Syria was under suspicion of being one of several rogue nations working together assembling the jihadi arsenal piecemeal. Khan's fingerprints went from Northern Europe to Malaysia, Libya and other parts of Africa, back to Pakistan where the Nork's and Iran picked up their part of this nefarious conspiracy. I'm convinced Syrian bunkers not only hid the missing Iraqi WMD's, accompanied by the Ba'athist officials still residing there and orchestrating the insurgency in comfort, but that Syria may have been the distribution center and have already shipped missiles or chemicals out to parts unknown to terrorists. They have good ports and Iraq didn't.
Also, the Saudi bust showed weapons and explosives in PVC pipe and buried and the Israeli's have found missles under bags of cement on a barge. Hariri's IED went boom, seemingly from under the street, and there was previous road construction in the area. Construction materiels are great camouflage, disguising heavy loads and elongated lengths, but not arousing suspicion.

#8 A nice little analysis, Danielle. Not at all comfortable, but then if I wanted mental comfort, I wouldn't come here.

#10 I cant say anything at all. Its all been said before. And as far as the anti-wr press goes...

A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse.
