This may be "hugh and series" but MSM has ignored General Sada. SURPRISE! It goes agaisnt their rant. GW lied and Americans died. I think in the end game the truth will be that GW went in for the right reasons. There were WMD. They had plenty of time to move them. And some are probably still there yet to be dug up.
Hi, Sam. Thanks for the thread. I've referred to your book about this matter frequently.

Excellent post.
The MSM farcically described these trucks as mobile hydrogen generators used to inflate weather balloons as if the Iraqi's weren't smart enough to use readily available and far more convenient cylinders of compressed gas for that purpose.
MSM is more than willing to accept this explanation. After all, it fits the "Bush lied" story much better. Glaring problems with this story are simply ignored, or maybe MSM "journalists" are just too dumb to pick up on them, or worse yet, collaborated to cover them up for their own slice of pie.
Iraq was in no position to give "humanitarian aid" to anyone. MSM was all too willing to help Saddam show the world just how mean the USA was to Iraqi people via it's sanctions. They were put up in the best rooms in Saddam's hotel so they could get the best images of Saddam's monthly baby parade, a monthly event staged by Saddam where the bodies of dead babies along with 'grief stricken' parents (cry or die) were paraded in front of their camera's.
We now know how the oil for rotting food and medicine program was handled by the UN's collective body of thieves, who used this program to line their's and Saddam's pockets for palaces and special projects like WMD production. We know it wasn't "humanitarian aid" Saddam was sending to Syria.
If proof cant be summed up in a 4 minute news segment on msn or cnn then they dont exist. The world has been brain washed by network television and they cant see past the 4 minute segment that is provided for them. Its alraming and sad.
Most in the media are ignoring the words of Saddam himself and his aides on 12 hours of captured tapes saying that Iraq's WMD were moved to Syria. But they aren't the only ones saying it.The article has been archived and is no longer available at Investor's Business Daily but is corraborated by the link below:For example, three months before Operation Iraqi Freedom began, Israeli intelligence detected Iraq moving large amounts of military materiel into Syria, another Baathist dictatorship — materiel that could have included Saddam's WMD.
Last month, Moshe Yaalon, who was Israel's top general at the time, said Iraq transported WMD to Syria six weeks before Operation Iraqi Freedom began.
On Jan. 25, 2004, Nizar Nayouf, a Syrian journalist who recently defected to France, told the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that chemical and biological weapons were smuggled from Iraq into Syria when Saddam realized an American invasion was imminent.
Nayouf said he knew of at least three Syrian sites where Saddam's WMD were kept. One was in tunnels under the town of al-Baida near the city of Hama in northern Syria, part of an underground factory built by North Korea for producing a Syrian version of the Scud missile. Others were in the village of Tal Snan, adjacent to a Syrian air base, and in Sjinsjar, on the Syrian-Lebanese border.
Nayouf's claims were in effect confirmed two months earlier in a briefing to reporters on Oct. 20, 2003, by officials of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency in Washington. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, head of NIMA when the Iraq War began, said satellite imagery showed a heavy flow of traffic from Iraq into Syria just before the American invasion.
Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong, who was deputy commander of Central Command during Operation Iraqi Freedom, told WABC radio in September 2004: "I do know for a fact that some of those weapons went into Syria, Lebanon and Iran."
In an interview with the London Telegraph in January 2004, David Kay, former head of the Iraq Survey Group (ISG), said he uncovered evidence that unspecified materials had been moved to Syria shortly before Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"We know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD program," Kay told the Telegraph. "Precisely what went to Syria, and what happened to it, is a major issue that needs to be resolved."
Charles Duelfer, Kay's successor as ISG head, testified at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Oct. 6, 2004, that "a lot of materials left Iraq and went to Syria." "There was certainly a lot of traffic across the border points," said Duelfer. "We've got a lot of data to support that, including people discussing it. But whether in fact in any of these trucks there was WMD-related materials, I cannot say."
Jordan's King Abdullah may have an opinion on that. In April 2004, his country foiled a plot that involved five vehicles carrying a combined total of 20 tons of chemical weapons laced with conventional explosives.
The weapons would have released a cloud of poison gas sufficient to kill 80,000 people and, in Abdullah's words, "would have decapitated the government." The trucks were intercepted 75 miles inside the Jordanian border. They were coming from — you guessed it — Syria.
bump!
