Seems they are changing the story, when the attack happened they were saying it was part of Saddams WMD programme. When the Israeli air force bombed it, Cheny said it was part of saddam Husseins WMD stockpile. I do recall the syrian president over nine years ago saying that no nation would be stupid enough to attack Israel. Been the only nation in the middle east with nuclear weapons. He also said that since the water supply for most of the countries in the region happens to be in an area that would be affected by the fall out it would be a terrible disaster for all the nations in the region.
