WMDs moved to Syria

When I think of work, it's mostly about having control over your destiny, as opposed to being at the mercy of what's out there. --Gary Sinise

I've always maintained that the WMDs did exist in Iraq--that there's plenty of documentation backing up that fact--and that they were moved somewhere else. Now we learn where from one of Saddam's confidants, General Georges Sada. Logic has always indicated they were there and that our intelligence (and even UN intelligence) was not merely "bad." The tapes mentioned by Janet Parshall below will be historically very important to this administration. Won't it be interesting to compare who the naysayers were and to find out why the no WMD issue developed "legs" so easily. And why everyone (including the administration) caved to acknowledging that our intelligence was bad rather than that the weapons were simply relocated.

Learning Saddam's Secrets
—Janet Parshall

People like Cindy Sheehan and Howard Dean don't support the president on Iraq because, they say, the president lied about Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction. But newly-captured tapes and Iraqi documents show that Saddam was, in fact, planning on rebuilding his WMD program once the inspectors had left. The tapes and papers also indicate that Saddam really was seeking uranium from Africa and that prohibited missiles were buried.

The documents, ordered by Saddam to keep a record of his own discussions, have been given to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Saddam also says on the tapes, "terrorism is coming with the Americans--terrorism with weapons of mass destruction."

Only time will tell where the WMDs went but General Georges Sada, a chief advisory to Saddam and author of "Saddam's Secrets" has stated Saddam knew the Americans were coming and ordered the WMDs moved into Syria.

These tapes should change not only the political debate but prove that our decision to go into Iraq was the right one all along.
