Whether it's 50 planes making 1 sortie each or 2 planes doing a total of 50 the idea is the same. The fact that 50 747 flights full of wmds could just be flown from Baghdad to Damascus and our AF did nothing is not exactly comforting. And like I said, I don't think Iraq had any 747s, they had russian planes to my knowledge.

It doesn't say much for our intel guys that all this happened right under our noses and we had no clue.

In the run up to war we had to have had satellites on Iraq 24/7. how did we miss this and if we didn't miss it, why did we ignore it?

Sada was just on Hannity. He said it was one 747 and one 727 with all the seats taken out.

Now look at the map:

Obviously they can fly from Baghdad to Damascus and NOT violate the no-fly zones.

Iraq had both Boeing 727s and 747s in their fleet. The following aircraft were noted at Baghdad in 2003 after US forces had taken the airport. The large aircraft in the background (with Blackhawk helo above it) is a Boeing 747SP. The two aircraft in the foreground are Boeing 727s
