There is no doubt about the massive truck traffic to Syria before the war and in this program he described how there were 49 sorties of cargo 747s to Damascus with WMDs. Sada denied that Iraq had any Nuke program but they did have chemical weapons.

There is a good chance the weapons went to Syria, and will possibly end up in Israel if and when Iran is hit by the West or Israel. Iran's wacko president was just in Syria. The Syrian government knows they are all but finished if Iran falls, so they may go out in the blaze of glory with Iran, trying to take Israel out in the process with tons of chemical and biological weapons.
Interesting. So Habalja wasn't mass hysteria after all. I'll be danged!
Perhaps not, but I do remember that Hamza was all over FoxNews and tons of conservatives and supportters of the war were trumpeting his first hand knowledge and experience as proof that Saddam had WMDs and Nukes.
Now, it appears that was, to quote Bush and David Kay "all wrong".
If however, he's telling the truth and Saddam was able to send massive cargo truck shipments and 50 747's to Damascus in the build up of the war and we did nothing to stop it and the WH or Pentagon hasn't even mentioned it, then we're in worse shape than I thought. I mean, for all we knew, there could have been nukes, anthrax, ricin, vx, etc.. in those trucks or planes and we didn't lift a finger to stop them. Who knows what happened to them once they touched down in Damascus. They're probably in Baalbek in the Bekka or deep in the Zagros Mountains by now. If that happened that was unacceptable negligence on the part of the administration.
If our billions in SAT and SIGINT couldn't pick up any of that, then we should just abolish DIA, CIA, NSA, and NRO-they're useless.
If this is true, what is the explanation for the complete and total US inactivity on this matter? I have to believe he's lying because if this were even remotely true, the WH would have brought it up to defend their statements on WMD. As it stands, the WH has pretty much openly admitted that they were wrong about WMD and that Saddam never really had anything.
I'd just be a bit more skeptical before we use this guy's book to invade Syria or Iran.
To be clear he said there was no Nuke program IN Iraq but we know Saddam had 28000 people working on weapons in Libya.
And he sure wasn't bothered by the fact that they used chem weapons on Iran, lol.
Iraqis, yes. Iran, no.
I thought it was a good interview.
