Bush Was Right: Syria Hides Saddam WMD

The Post Chronicle ^ | 1/26/06 | J. Grant Swank, Jr.

US President George W. Bush was correct in saying there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq under the Saddam Hussein two decades-plus murder rule. Recall that numerous Democrats prior to Mr. Bush's election to the Oval Office said the same. Further, many said the same after Mr. Bush moved into the White House.

Now we have proof.

It comes from none other than Hussein's General Georges Sada. The nub of his data is this: Hussein flew WMD into Syria before Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were loaded onto civilian planes with seats removed to make room, so states Hussein's second in command official in Hussein's air force.

"Saddam's Secrets," is the name of his recently released book. There details are exposed, according to The New York Sun's Ira Stoll.

"'There are weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria, and they must be found and returned to safe hands,' Mr. Sada said. 'I am confident they were taken over.'"

And so the left-oriented dominant media refuses to cover things that don't support their agenda.
No surprise.

The question now to be put to the LSM should be:

Is Saddam telling the truth or is this guy telling the truth? Also, why, when Powell went to the UN and showed them this was it poo pooed away?

Gee, I wonder why? /sarcasm off

[bnelson44]

Where is the proof?

[newcthem]

Perhaps the Israelis may choose to put a select force into the Becca Valley and light one up.

[Non-Sequitur]

So our intelligence services were so inept that they didn't know this? Couldn't track it? Isn't aware of where the WMDs are right this instance? It's worse than I thought.

[Doe Eyes]

I wonder why this isn't all over the media?

I wonder why President Bush didn't bring this up in today's Press Conference.

Bush was right!

[Stepan12]

When I was visiting Israel in December 2002 (my first trip), I asked a retired military person where the weapons of mass destruction were. He told me they were moved to Syria back then.

I've pointed this out for years on AOL message boards and I received ridicule and plain silence.

I believe Israel already has satellite photos of some of the WMD being moved into Syria. I don't know if that material got on the ground intel or not .. but before we went to war in Iraq - it was known that Israel had this info.

IIRC there was speculation that it was either rocket launchers, rockets, or chemical and biological mfg equip. The actual WMD could have been taken out in the airplanes.

[Democratshavenobrains]

The Left doesn't even CARE about whether Saddam had WMDs or not. Most of them thought he had them before the war but that he would never use them. Bush has always been the bigger enemy to them.

bttt

[roses of sharon]

The DNC/MSM said all thru the 90's that he had them, was seeking nukes, and needed to be removed, with boots on the ground.

BUT, they wanted Clinton to do it.

[SeaBiscuit]

What I have to wonder is did Sada meet with any government officials BEFORE writing the book..

[pookie18]

Don't know...this time around, he's only been in the states for 2 weeks.

[AGreatPer]

Show me.

[Let's Roll]

That may have been what they said during the 90s when we had a president that the msm knew wouldn't take any effective action, but they sure changed their tune once this country got a serious CIC.

[Carling]

Do you suppose 60 Minutes will give him one or two segments? ;)

[savedbygrace]

You mean to tell me the New York Times let itself be scooped by the NY Sun on this story? How embarrassing is that?
