No transcript up yet since the interview just happened on H&C on Fox. Former Air Vice Minister of the Iraqi Air Force and one of Saddam's most trusted military advisors stated tonight that indeed they had WMD and those weapons were moved to Syria in multiple sorties and truck convoys prior to the invasion and that they actively engaged in hiding evidence of the WMD programs from the UN inspectors.

Even Bob Bechel sitting in for Combs seemed mighty convinced.

Here is a link to his book.

Add this to the mounting confirmation of the terrorist training camps.

Both of which confirm what we knew, both this administration and the Clinton administration, and two of the reasons we removed Saddam.

Still against the war? The war still not justified?
 
Stinger my ignorant friend, this story is just another conspracy theory. It has less credibility than 2000 election fraud. This is just another attempt to cover up conservative blunders.

Yes please let's not be childish and stop citing conspiracy theories.
 
There is already a thread about this. As I said in that thread, the ISG concluded that Saddam destroyed his weapons stockpiles in 1991. Just because an Iraqi war profiteer says that weapons were moved doesn't make it true. He wants to sell books and weedle money from the U.S. government. Until he presents solid evidence to back up his claims I'm with the ISG on this one.

Please, I've heard worse... besides this isn't the conspiracy theory forum
 
I just saw him on Fox and he sounded very convincing he was a 2 star general and supervisor of the entire Iraqi Airforce so he would have been in a position to know if the WMD had been transferred to Syria, he says that three 727's (I think) were converted into transport carriers that flew 56 sorties to deliver the WMD stockpiles to Damascus, Syria.

Let's think about this logically. What intrest does Syria have in being sanctioned by the entire UN.

Yes let's look at this logically, Iraq and Syria were allies and both were controlled by the ba'athist regime. Is it really that far of a stretch that Syria would want to help out their ally while at the same time making the U.S. look bad?
 
Until and unless all of the WMD are accounted for, this will remain an open question. Personally, I am unconvinced that Saddam did not play a part in 9/11 because the al-Ani/Atta connection has never been adequately rebutted.

Well considering that sanctions were utterly useless in keeping Sadaam on the straight and narrow, what does Syria have to fear? Sanctions are nothing more than 'the next logical step' in maintaining a diplomatic face on the path to the inevitable. Iran's not scared of sanctions. Syria isn't. No one is.

UN sanctions were/are a joke. Let's think about this logically, Syria had seen how the sanctions against Iraq had failed, why would they be worried about UN sanctions against themselves?

Which is why when asking a person opposed to the war are asked "well what happen to the WMD he admitted he had and the UN confirmed he had" they cannot answer. AND we were suppose to know, Saddam was required to tell us and he didn't.

Which has nothing to do with WMD.

Actually it does. Saddam was a master practitioner of deception. If he had connections to 9/11, the al-Ani matter would conceivably address the origin of the anthrax that happened after 9/11. Weaponized anthrax is considered by most rational people to be part of WMD.

I suggest that you reread the history of this matter. You can start here.

Sorry I make a distinction between the 9/11 attack and the anthrax attack afterwards. Yes concievably Saddam could have had a hand in those anthrax attacks. I have read much on them in a while, AFAIK the origin of the anthrax has never been completely confirmed. And yes Saddams weaponized anthrax and other biologicals he had are WMD. We don't know for sure but I would not be surprised to see more confirmations coming out of the documents we are investigating.

Yes of course. Not being able to trade with the richest country and most oil thirsty country doesn't really matter, does it?

For one country, it didn't matter for over a decade...

I guess it helps when you have the intrnational community making backroom deals and avoiding the sanctions......
 
surprisingly, not many of the anti war folks are participating in this thread.

My question to him (ex Iraq general) would be why did he wait until the book deal to tell everyone?
We can only wait and see what the US investigators come up with

That's a valid point. It may yet turn out to be yet another dry hole but one thing we can be certain of and that is the WMD have never been accounted for. We are to believe by some that Saddam just had his minions pour out the biological and chemical agents on the ground and make no written records. That is not in keeping with the Stalinist regime that he ran. Time will tell.

Because we all know that it's just another Fox News conspiracy theory.

Don't sweat it, Mule. It's just one of those liberal catch-phrases they use when backed into a corner. "If it came from Fox it can't be true." :slapme:
