Vampiric, I posted the FACTS: SYRIA GOT WMDs from India, Turkey AND Russia. Israel bombed
their nuke plant but there is plenty of WMDs to go around. As HAMAS is supporting the opposition, the US may have a REAL WMD problem, not fantasies. The idea that Saddam shipped his weapons to Syria rather than USE them when invaded is BIZARRE.
And the link from the source in the OP says the nuke technology came from North Korea, pakistan and Iran, so it seems like Syria got their WMD from just about everyone EXCEPT Iraq!!!

Syrian Nuclear Weapons
Syria has long had an interest in acquiring nuclear weapons.iv Its primary partner seems
to have been North Korea, although it may have acquired some of the technology and
weapons designs sold by the A.Q. Khan network, possibly though Iran, and may have
acquired technology and design data from other sources.
However, new evidence surfaced in 2007 that Syria had a far more active nuclear
weapons effort than had previously been reported. On September 8, 2007, the Syrian
Arab News Agency reported Israeli air strikes and dropped ―munitions‖ in Syria without
any reports of damage or casualties.v Unclassified satellite photographs later made it clear
that an Israeli air raid had struck deep into northeast Syria on September 6, 2007, at a
target that the imagery strongly indicated might have been a covert Syrian effort to build
a nuclear reactor. The images were similar to those of facilities that could contain North
Korean designs and that could be used to produce fissile material for nuclear weapons.vi
