Afghanistan, Iraq -- and now to Syria

David Kay, who last week resigned as leader of the US's Iraq WMD search team revealed in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph (registration required) that WMD-related materials had been moved to Syria shortly before the war. "'We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons,' he said. 'But we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD programme. Precisely what went to Syria, and what has happened to it, is a major issue that needs to be resolved.'"

A Syrian official, demonstrating a his lack of grasp of Aristotelian logic, responded: "These allegations have been raised many times in the past by Israeli officials, which proves that they are false."
