An Iraqi General - George Sadas who was apparently "number 2" in Iraq's air force - is claiming that Saddam moved his WMD's into Syria by loading them into stripped out civilian air craft and flying them across the border.

One thing that often gets overlooked when the case for war with Iraq is debated is that while it is clear that our intelligence on Saddam's WMD's was clearly wrong that fact does not necessarily imply that Saddam didn't have any WMD's. We know, for a fact, that at one time Saddam did have chemical and biological weapons. He used some of them, both on his own people and during wars with other middle eastern nations. Unfortunately, many political opportunists and media pundits have chosen to spin the fact that we haven't found any WMD's in Iraq into Saddam never having them. Which just isn't true.

He had them. We know that. What we don't know is where they went before we got into Iraq, or even how long they'd been gone by the time we arrived. There are a lot of theories, of course, as to where they went and how. Sadas' claims sound about as reasonable as any of them.

One day we may even know for sure.

I remember watching a video of a spy plane following the UN inspectors around, before the war, they watched as they were held up for hours as another plane watched the location they were going to and watched trucks back up and get loaded up and driven away.
Only after the trucks left where the inspectors allowed to go the the location.
