Saddam's WMDs Moved to Syria

It seems that the Iraq WMD controversy is about to crack open once more.

I doubt it. The media will bury this if it can.

[snarks_when_bored]

Clearly, if Saddam Hussein moved his WMD's to Syria, he had no WMD's when we invaded Iraq, and so Bush lied and people died.

Clearly.

I doubt it. The media will bury this if it can.

I can image the spin on the Left. Bush Lied, but it was the truth, but he meant to lie.

So therefore it is a lie that just happened to be true.

Rathergate upsidedown.

Obviously a disgruntled Iraqi general who was probably passed over for a promotion and now he has an axe to grind.

MSM responds thusly:

[Steely Tom]

The media will ignore this until something negative can be found on Sada. If it takes a few days to do this, fine. If it takes a few months, that's fine too. Until something can be found to undermine the credibility of Sada, this story will be totally blacked out by the MSM.

Once information is found to smear Sada, the MSM will go wall-to-wall with it. The original story will only be mentioned to the extent necessary to discredit it.

Ew!!

If WMD's were found in a Syrian forest, would the MSM interrupt their Oscar reporting to make a sound?

[SteveMcKing]

Supposedly the details will be released in three weeks on Febraury 18th, ala Jon Loftus at IntellSummit.org.

"If WMD's were found in a Syrian forest, would the MSM interrupt their Oscar reporting to make a sound?"

Only if the WMD has packed in fudge.

[SteveMcKing]

"INTELSUMMIT.org"... sorry

[SteveMcKing]

FEB 17... not 18th. double "oops".

[taxesareforever]

Meeting with Republicans. Demorats don't want to hear the truth.

Now Sada has written a book, and America’s enemies are watching to see how U.S. officials react. In other words, Sada’s testimony is a kind of indicator. If it is used by the administration to vindicate the Iraq invasion, then it follows that President Bush is ready to move against Syria and Iran. But if President Bush and his advisors ignore Sada’s testimony, it is a sign that the administration is worn out by criticism and incapable of smashing America’s enemies.

Very insightful comment.

The administration has known what happened to the WMD's all along. Most Freepers have known too. The MSM COULD HAVE known, and some of them certainly did. (However, since ignorance runs pretty deep with the MSM, some of them are probably as clueless as they seem.)

So, if we assume that the location of the WMD's was known all along, but not publicized, the logical conclusion is that we did not WANT to comment publicly. The Bush administration paid a very heavy price for this decision, so it would be very interesting to know exactly why...

Gen. Georges Sada claims that Saddam Hussein moved weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) to Syria prior to the American invasion.

Is there any way you could pass this info along to your leftist pals - just to calm them down?

[Andy'smom]

Isn't John Loftus kind of a kook?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Well, for those of who have believed the WMD went to Syria, this cannot be bad news. I heard General Sada on Hannity's radio show last week. I am glad he's talking to a couple of Senators, maybe they will call for full Senate hearings and have General Sada testify. That certainly would help din the roar of the "where are the WMD" mantra of the left.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I think all that will happen with MSM, if they mention it at all, is to accept Syria's inevitable denial and go on.

The only way we can know is to invade Syria or hope for a revolution there. We won't do the first, especially with the Iran issue, and the second won't happen as the Syrian regieme has an iron grip on power.

We are basically where we were when satelite photos revealed massive truck traffic to Syria from Iraq prior to the war. We have every reason to believe a tranfer was made but have no way to prove it.

General Sada provided additional details about air transport of the materials and who ordered it and who received it, but nothing sufficient to send our army into Syria.

I don't know if there is a lot more we could do to Syria in the way of diplomacy or economic sanctions. What Sada is saying is believable but I don't see much action coming from his disclosures.
