But... We Knew This Already... Right?
Georges Sada, the Iraqi general who was second in command of Iraq's Air Force under Saddam Hussein, has written a new book, Saddam's Secrets, has revealed that Iraq's chemical weapons were sent to Syria prior to the 2003 invasion. He explains that 2 commercial airliners were stripped of their passenger seats and filled with weapons and sent to Damascus during 56 flights . This echoes what Israeli General Moshe Yaalon said in an interview last month.
Um... I could have sworn that I read reports of this in the blogosphere (LGF, DEBKA and RedState, to be specific- I'm looking for specific links) months if not years ago. But this is news because this is a high level Iraqi official confirming what everyone thought they knew- Iraq HAD WMDs, shipped them to Syria, and Baby Bashar al-Asad hid them.
Now, two questions arise. #1- how does the US prove it? I mean, it's not like Bashar al-Asad is just going to throw open the doors to his country and let us hunt for the WMDs. And, #2- if, by chance, we do find the WMDs, will the LLL acknowledge it?
