WorldNetDaily: Syria ready to 'defend' itself against U.S.


Ambassador talks about Hamas, Hezbollah, bio-chem weapons, Iraq, more
WND: The U.S. government has been investigating intelligence reports that Saddam Hussein transferred weapons, including possibly biological or chemical weapons, to Syria before the Iraq war. Did this transfer take place?

Mekdad: Please. We don't need his weapons. We don't want them. We are committed to what we have signed. We are party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. All Arab country are parties to the treaty. The 22 Arab countries are party. The only party that is not is Israel. We think that all efforts by the U.S. and the major players in the international community should go to the real address and deal with this issue. The nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons are in huge quantities in Israel, and they must go there. We don't have such weapons.
