Yes,Saddam was running trucks of petro products to Syria so that they
could
sell the oil and the money would go back to Saddam,avolding the UN
sanctions.
Heck,the US does not even "own" it's own borders.

If I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying it's OK that although
there HAD to be people from state, military & intelligence departments
telling Rove that weapons would be moved to Syria, you're fine with
him doing nothing about it.

And, you're also saying that even if he had ordered such operations,
it would have been hopeless, so it's better that we did not try.

Correct?



There was so much traffic moving between Baghdad and Syria,much of it
civilians fleeing the war.
Not to mention that they were worried that Saddam would USE his WMD
instead
of trying to relocate it to another country.


Bull****. We stop hundreds of vehicles a day right now in Iraq. "So much
traffic" is a crock.

As far as Saddam using his WMDs, here's a reason I hear from the right
wing every day, in response to "whining" about the number of American
casualties: "When people join the military, they know what they're
getting into. It's a war. Get over it".
And which word(s) in your quotation do you not understand?

I'm not the one saying that stopping the weapons would have been
impractical. I'm pointing out that it would've been the EXACT same task as
we're doing every day in Iraqi cities, but in a different location (and, I
suspect, a safer one for our soldiers).
