Is he selling a book?
Sorry to be that way, but it smells a bit fishy to me.
Just found this great blog posting regarding General Sada. He was a Christian who put his life on the line several times by opposing Saddam to his face (which should bolster his credibility). [click here]
General Sada told us some interesting stories. One story concerned orders he received, when he was the Air Vice Marshall, from Saddam Hussein to equip 96 supersonic fighters-I understand they were Russian aircraft-with chemical bombs which would be dropped on the main population centres of Israel. http://www.cdp.org.au/fed/mr/051201f.asp Sada shared another story with us, of which I have had confirmation from a former American Air Force Colonel, David Eberly. In January 1991 Colonel Eberly and some other coalition pilots were shot down over Iraq and captured. They were made prisoners of war. Saddam Hussein gave the order that all the pilots were to be executed as they were classified as criminals of war. Because Sada was head of an air force department he was put in charge of the prisoners of war. He received the order that they were to be executed but disobeyed it. As a consequence, Saddam Hussein threw him into prison, where he suffered greatly. The pilots whose lives were saved by Sada's stand have expressed their appreciation for his bravery. Sada was ordered to join Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party in 1986. He refused to do so and was thus forced to retire. The key fact in this man's life is that he is a Christian. I was amazed that a Christian could hold such a high position in the Iraqi regime. But his ability to fly aircraft and to organise the air force for Saddam Hussein made him invaluable. Shortly after Sada was forced out of the air force Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and Sada was the first man he called back into service. He was restored to his former position and put in charge of the air force. Sada was obviously a loyal citizen of Iraq but because he would not execute the American prisoners he was thrown into prison. Sada is a remarkable man. I understand that he will be visiting Parliament House tomorrow. I am not involved in Sada's visit-I have only just learned of it-but I urge honourable members to take the opportunity to meet this remarkable Christian, who showed amazing courage and faith by putting his life at risk to protect the American pilots."

The left uses, in their reasoning to attack President Bush, the Downing Street Memo. I, in turn, will cite the Nayuf Letters. What are the Nayuf letters, you may ask? Good question, as the mainstream media were/are ignorant as to their existence or overlooking them because had they acknowledged them when they were written, they would have blown John Kerry's presidential campaign tirades out of the water.
In a January 2004 letter to the Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf," Syrian journalist Nizar Nayuf, who defected from Syria to Western Europe, said that he knows the three sites where Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction are kept.
In one letter, Nayuf wrote:
"We received confirmations that the Iraqi weapons, which were moved to Syria by the help of General Zoul-Himla Chalich, are now hidden in three places inside Syria:
First place: a tunnel dug in the mountain close to the Al-Baïdah village, which is roughly two kilometers from Misyaf village. This place is under the 489 Safety cipher Documents' office control.
Second place: the factory of the Air Armed Forces in the village of Tal Sinan, between the town of Hama and Salamiyyah. This factory is under the Air Force control.
Third place: the location of Shinsar, 40 kilometers south of Homs, two kilometers east of the Homs - Damascus road. There are underground tunnels there, controlled by Brigade 661 of the armed air Forces. It is a Brigade of air Patrol. The tunnels are several tens of meters deep.
The weapons were transported in large wooden cases and barrels, under the supervision of the General Zoul-Himla Chalich and the son of his brother Assef, who works at Al-Bachaer company.
The company is owned by the Assad family and has offices in Beirut, Damascus and Baghdad.This company also undertook the illegal Iraqi oil importation in Syria, and supplied weapons to Saddam. I will try to send you all the new information as I get.
Take care and be safe."
And there was a second letter...
"I have sent you another chart of the positions which tells where the weapons which were sent from Iraq into Syria, are hidden. Because the preceding chart that I sent you earlier is not clear.
Until now, the authorities in Syria did not worry of what was being published by the Dutch television news about this subject.
New information: The weapons were evacuated by the means of ambulances. Mohammed Mansoura also took part in the operation.
There are other serious, detailed pieces of information concerning the money of Saddam being moved into Syria and into Lebanon and those who took part in moving it - Syrians and Lebanese. Also there are more details about the assassination of the General Moustapha Tajer which took place last summer.
Take care of yourself."
Maybe the mainstream media decided to ignore award-winning journalist Nayuf, because to pursue his claims may damage the Kerry campaign, and we couldn't have that, right?
Nevertheless, there are many here who will say "SEE! We told you it was there all along! The MSM is lying!" - as if this guy saying it simply makes it true.
Of course, there were Iraqis before the war telling us things we now know weren't true.
In a nutshell, this guy is asking us to believe (a) that a disobedient officer who had been jailed by Saddam was in a position to know more about what happened in 2003 than all of our other information sources combined or (b) we already know the WMD are in Syria but have chosen to keep it hush-hush.
Neither of these things is credible, so I'll have a hard time finding this guy to be credible.
