Fox News Conspiracy Theory: Russia Moved Saddam’s WMD To Syria
Last night, Fox News military analyst Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney put forth a radical new theory on why we didn’t find WMD’s in Iraq – the Russians moved them to Syria…

O’Reilly didn’t challenge McInerney’s assertion. The 92-page Duelfer report addendum, however, found “no information gleaned from questioning Iraqis supported the possibility” Saddam moved WMD to Syria. McInerney’s theory is breathtakingly conspiratorial. He not only argues Russia moved the WMDs out of Iraq, but he also says they covered the whole thing up with a massive propoganda campaign.

It’s all par for the course in the No Spin Zone.

1. And they moved the facilities for storing and production of these devices
and the research facilities for the WMD programs the Iraqis were involved in and they did this using a secret network of tunnels to avoid our satellites and they destroyed all evidence of the transportation tunnels before we got there and they left absolutely no evidence of weapons, weapons facilities, and weapons programs behind.

Damn those Russians are GOOD! How did they ever lose the last permanent war?

2. When will you learn to love Big Brother?
"O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."

4. I thought that Wesley Clark was their military analyst.
Guess they have two. A Democrat and a Nut.

That's fair and balanced to me.

7. they've got satellites
that can just about read my drivers license if I'm holding it in my hand standing outside so if there were any large weapons moved they would've known about it.

9. I thought when the Bush administration sent Powell to the UN that
they said they had super secret info that showed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction but they just couldn't show us for security reasons. So if they knew that the weapons were moved to Syria why did we attack Iraq?

10. and our intelligence is so good, we never noticed?
Did he mention when they were moved and how? Did the Russians mail them to friends in Syria? Dig a big tunnel between the two countries? Send them up in a rocket ship that landed in Damascus?

What an idiot.

11. Why have WMDs if they aren't poised to use them?
Saddam had every opportunity to use them to repel an attack, but opted instead to move them out of the country just before the invasion that overthrew his rule and sent him to prison forever.

....Just to embarass Fox News' favorite conservative president.

Freeper logic.
