Why do people believe they were moved to Syria before the U.S. invaded? Do they not have faith in our intelligence? Since we supposedly knew where they were according to our government, don't you think we'd be watching them? Do people really believe this or is it just an excuse to defend an unjustified war?

And if you remember, this was once used as a justification for invading Syria. But now they've got Iran in their sites, so that part of the equation got dropped. And so now it makes even less sense to say the whole Syria thing, as it says that these weapons are still out there. And because Syria wouldn't want to be attacked by us, it would be best for them to just give them to terrorists to use against us. Which doesn't help the wingnut's argument at all.
But these people wouldn't have believed in WMD's, were they the evidence/logic kind of people; so these arguments mean nothing. They believe what they need to believe, and that changes as much as required. And in that sense, they don't believe any of it. They just do what they're told.

The only reason to think this is because Syria and Iraq were very much alligned. And many of the "insurgents" came into Iraq after the war via Syria and its porous border with Iraq.
However there is no evidence of it; and I doubt there ever will be. We've already found over 500 artillery shells with mustard gas and some cannisters of sarin which was the chemical agent used in Japan a few years ago that killed 17 in the subway there. And the worlds evidence is clear Saddam had them and used them against his own people in the 1990's. What more justification do you need? A few more political dissidents being raped, tortured and killed?

there was one Iraqi general that was saying that they moved the weapons... but I'm not so sure I believe one general who just happens to be supporting the Bush administration... I think he wrote a book about it...
shouldn't he be in a jail somewhere instead of writing books? seems a little convenient... someone may have made a deal...
we all know how trustworthy the Iraqi generals are... they are great people...
but yeah... I think it was Cheney on meet the press the week before we invaded said he knew where they were and that they were there in Iraq... was he wrong or did they move all of them in a week?
either way, it sounds convenient...
netjr: The white house and DOD said those weren't the WMD they were looking for... go fight with them if you don't believe it...

The existence of WMD, that have been a threat to our national secure practices replaced into the reason we went to war in Iraq. If those weapons have been moved to Syria and that they nonetheless exist, that would mean that the war has been a entire failure from the start.

Its entirely possible. If you recall, Saddam moved his air force into Iran, of all places, the first time he was attacked. The UN resolution called for HIM to prove he had no WMD. The Europeans , who voted for the Resolution, were so busy doing business with Iraq, behind our backs , that they allowed Saddam to spit in the eye of decency, GWB did not. Instead of carrying on like a bunch of pusssy Frenchmen, you ought to thank God you have a President with balls instead of a poll-follower like "BJ".
