Tom,

To date, there is no evidence of any WMD's at Al Qaim. If they are there, we will find them. But, for the moment, we cannot presume they are there.

As for sneaking these weapons into Syria, that is highly unlikely. The last thing the Syrians want is to be associated with Saddam's alleged WMD's.

The fact is, the Syrians have been extremely cooperative with the U.S. in tracking down Al Qaeda. And, there is no love lost between Assad and Hussein. The Syrians are ecstatic about his demise. The histrionics from Washington have but a singular purpose - containing the Syrians politically to keep them from filling the power vaccum created by the fall of Iraq.
