How Did Syria Get Chemical Weapons? Did They Come From Our Old Friend Saddam?

However, even back then, there were accusations from several sources that Hussein had smuggled his WMDs over the border into Syria long before coalition forces began the Iraqi invasion. Today, there is now video evidence of chemical and biological weapons having been used in Syria to kill countless victims. While the blame game rages on as to who actually used said weapons, Assad forces or rebel fighters, many seem to have forgotten to ask a very important question: Where did these chemical weapons come from?
. . .
Just a month later in January 2006, the Iraqi general who served as the No. 2 official in Hussein’s air force, Georges Sada, claimed Iraq moved WMDs into Syria before the war by loading the weapons into two civilian aircrafts in which the passenger seats were removed, as well as in multiple ground convoys of trucks.
“There are weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria, and they must be found and returned to safe hands,” Sada stated. “I am confident they were taken over [to Syria].”
Sada said he even knew the two pilots who transported the material: “I know them very well. They are very good friends of mine.” He claimed that the pilots told him Special Republican Guard brigades loaded materials onto the planes, including “yellow barrels with skull and crossbones on each barrel.” The flights, 56 in total, attracted little notice because they were thought to be civilian flights providing relief from Iraq to Syria, which had suffered a flood after a dam collapse in June of 2002.
“Saddam realized, this time, the Americans are coming,” Sada said. “They handed over the weapons of mass destruction to the Syrians.”

Zim: Why do I find this story believable?
Well, in the first U.S. Iraq war, saddam had all his
jet planes fly into Iran to keep U.S. from destroying
them. (Iran kept them and refused to send them back.)
Saddam would know, that if caught with WMD's the
International Courts (such as they are) would
demand his scalp.
No, for saddam the real war was the guerrilla war
after the invasion. The one where, if he could
hold out long enough and if no large quantities of
WMD's were found . . perhaps Bush would lose an
election and the democrap (kerry) would unilaterally
withdraw putting saddam back in the saddle.
