Syria agrees to hide Iran nukes.
LONDON — Syria has signed a pledge to store Iranian nuclear weapons and missiles.

The London-based Jane's Defence Weekly reported that Iran and Syria signed a strategic accord meant to protect either country from international pressure regarding their weapons programs. The magazine, citing diplomatic sources, said Syria agreed to store Iranian materials and weapons should Teheran come under United Nations sanctions.

No thanks, I'll get my news elsewhere.

Edit: this site is connected to the Moonie Washington Times

The "article on Drudge" to which Hannity referred was an October 18 article from the online publication WorldTribune.com, the editor and publisher of which is an assistant managing editor at the conservative Washington Times and "a former 'corporate editor' for News World Communications," according to The New Yorker. News World Communications, which owns the Times, is a media company owned by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. The WorldTribune.com article related comments Duelfer made at an October 6 meeting of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee -- but Duelfer's comments that were included in the article did not support Hannity's theory that Iraq had WMDs and moved them to Syria before the 2003 American-led invasion. Rather, the article asserted that Duelfer "could not rule out Saddam's transfer of Iraqi missiles and weapons of mass destruction to Syria" and quoted the following statement by Duelfer to the Senate Armed Services Committee: "A lot of materials left Iraq and went to Syria. ... But whether in fact in any of these trucks there was WMD-related materials, I cannot say."

8. That's a possibility I've been wondering about.
There is no way that Bush is going to be happy sitting still in Iraq. There are always going to be a large US military presence in Iraq.
