david kay, there is a wild theory that perhaps a lot of assad s big stash of chemical weapons is the missing stash that we never found in iraq with saddam hassan. he shifted it to syria. is that plausible? it s not at all plausible and something i dealt a fair amount with over the last ten years. look, saddam had lousy sarin. it was unstable. it really had lack of lethalness compared to the syrians. the syrians have first-class sarin developed with the help of the soviet union among with other countries. they didn t need saddam s lousy chemical weapons. where did they get it? do they make it themselves or buy it from places like russia? where did they get a large amount of sarin or whatever it may be? they got the basic technology how to make it and mate it to rocket auriliaty during the
