Former Iraqi general Georges Sada, who served as second-in-command of the Iraqi air force under deposed dictator Saddam Hussein, has recently published a book "Saddam's Secrets".
In the book he claims that there were really WMD in Iraq, and that Saddam moved them in civilian aircraft to Syria before the US invasion.
Sada claims that special Republican Guard units led by Saddam's cousin, Ali Hussein al-Majid, nicknamed "Chemical Ali," loaded "yellow barrels with skull and crossbones" in two Boeing jets.
The planes made 56 flights to Syria in the weeks leading up to the war.
Quote:
"Saddam realised, this time, the Americans are coming. They handed over the weapons of mass destruction to the Syrians."
That being the case, why didn't Saddam use these weapons to defend Iraq against the invasion?
Isn't that the whole point of having WMD?
