There were rumors leading up to the Iraq war that Saddam Hussein had sent his WMD's to Syria. With Syria now allegedly has used chemical weapons on its people. Could these weapons being used be part of the Saddam WMD's ? Just a thought. Maybe W was right after all.

I remember that being big talk as well. There were large convoys headed to Syria with suspected chemical weapons with them. Where did Syria get these? We're they known for having their own? Hmm.

It was reported that the USA supplied Saddam with chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war... You know "the enemy of our enemy" deal.

The weapons Saddam used against his people was reported to be weapons that we supplied him...

“I do agree with Senator Corker that I think Congress needs to be involved, but perhaps not initially,” said Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., adding, “Perhaps the president could start and then Congress needs to resolve it an–and assent to it.”

from our distinguished SoS

"What we saw in Syria last week should shock the conscience of the world," said Kerry. "It defies any code of morality. Let me be clear: The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable. And despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured, it is undeniable."
