Was Bush and his team right, only that Sadam out foxed them all by sending these weapons into Syria ? Now Syria might use them ?

ISG uncovered information that the Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) maintained throughout 1991 to 2003 a set of undeclared covert laboratories to research and test various chemicals and poisons, primarily for intelligence operations. The network of laboratories could have provided an ideal, compartmented platform from which to continue CW agent R&D or small-scale production efforts, but we have no indications this was planned. (See Annex A.)
ISG has no evidence that IIS Directorate of Criminology (M16) scientists were producing CW or BW agents in these laboratories. However, sources indicate that M16 was planning to produce several CW agents including sulfur mustard, nitrogen mustard, and Sarin.
Exploitations of IIS laboratories, safe houses, and disposal sites revealed no evidence of CW-related research or production, however many of these sites were either sanitized by the Regime or looted prior to OIF. Interviews with key IIS offi cials within and outside of M16 yielded very little information about the IIS activities in this area.
The existence, function, and purpose of the laboratories were never declared to the UN.
The IIS program included the use of human subjects for testing purposes.
ISG investigated a series of key pre-OIF indicators involving the possible movement and storage of chemical weapons, focusing on 11 major depots assessed to have possible links to CW. A review of documents, interviews, available reporting, and site exploitations revealed alternate, plausible explanations for activities noted prior to OIF which, at the time, were believed to be CW-related.
ISG investigated pre-OIF activities at Musayyib Ammunition Storage Depotthe storage site that was judged to have the strongest link to CW. An extensive investigation of the facility revealed that there was no CW activity, unlike previously assessed.

Charles A. Duelfer, whom the Bush administration chose to complete the U.S. investigation of Iraq's weapons programs, said Hussein's ability to produce nuclear weapons had "progressively decayed" since 1991. Inspectors, he said, found no evidence of "concerted efforts to restart the program."
The findings were similar on biological and chemical weapons. While Hussein had long dreamed of developing an arsenal of biological agents, his stockpiles had been destroyed and research stopped years before the United States led the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Duelfer said Hussein hoped someday to resume a chemical weapons effort after U.N. sanctions ended, but had no stocks and had not researched making the weapons for a dozen years.

Explain why it couldnot be then, I mean if you will.....ThanksWas Bush and his team right, only that Sadam out foxed them all by sending these weapons into Syria ? Now Syria might use them ?
No.
Ok, so they were amassing before Sadam's chemicals were discovered by the world, and this by his actual usage of them, but wouldn't this even make more sense for them to have went there (to Syria), because Syria had the capability also of handling them or storing them for safe keeping until or when ever ?The story is based on a 2006 book "Saddam's Secrets" written by former Iraqi general Georges Sada who claimed that the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria in advance of the Iraq war but Syria has amassed huge supplies of mustard gas, sarin nerve agent and cyanide over the past four decades on its own and it did not have to rely on Iraq's WMD which had reportedly been transferred to Syria just before the invasion by unmarked trucks that mysteriously crossed the border into Syria.

So Syria has been making new batches of Sarin Gas or keeps fresh new batches of chemical weapons, because it has no way of storing or keeping fresh the old batches or weapons ?The shelf life of Sarin, which is the chemical weapon being discussed is a few weeks. The chemicals before being mixed, 5 years.
The story is based on a 2006 book "Saddam's Secrets" written by former Iraqi general Georges Sada who claimed that the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria in advance of the Iraq war but Syria has amassed huge supplies of mustard gas, sarin nerve agent and cyanide over the past four decades on its own and it did not have to rely on Iraq's WMD which had reportedly been transferred to Syria just before the invasion by unmarked trucks that mysteriously crossed the border into Syria.

Ok so my question is now, if these things have no shelf life hardly, then why would anyone amass them over the years or decades as you say ? Otherwise are they amassing the conponents of the weapons is what you mean, in which will last if they are not mixed for usage, and if so, couldn't it have been the conponents that they recieved from Sadam as well over that border ?
Firing scud missles now eh ? Wonder where they got them from ?Was Bush and his team right, only that Sadam out foxed them all by sending these weapons into Syria ? Now Syria might use them ?
You might have something there...

I'll stick with post #9, maybe we can get some liberals to volunteer...

I'M sure we can get some of those experts in a room and open up one of those bad boys, hell maybe Peta will OK the use of a wabbit...
Page 58 FAS Link 3 - SIMPLICITY V. SHELF-LIFE said:The sophistication of the production technology required to manufacture agents depends on
the urgency of a countrys military requirements. If a country has no immediate need to use CW agents and plans to stockpile them for several years, the agents will require along shelf-life and must therefore be produced with high purity. If a country is producing nerve agents for immediate use in battle, however, it can afford to make a less pure product by eliminating the distillation step or the use of stabilizing additives.
ISG Key Findings CW LINK 6 said:Reflecting those perceptions, and in a bid to create a strategic deterrent, MSE turned immediately after the Iran-Iraq war to a strategy for maintaining an offensive CW capability in peacetime. With the end of the war in August 1988, MSE stopped CW agent production, and focused on production of marketable products while continuing research to improve production techniques, agent purity, and shelf life, although it restarted production in 1990.
- Al Muthannas CW nerve agents contained impurities that affected agent stability and thus limited the shelf life of stored filled munitions and bulk agent. This had not mattered during the Iran-Iraq War, when Iraq was using agent as fast as it could produce it, but given Iraqs intent to use chemical weapons as a strategic deterrent, some stockpiling was essential.
