>>Iraq's WMD Secreted in Syria, Sada Says
By IRA STOLL - Staff Reporter of the Sun
January 26, 2006
The man who served as the no. 2 official in Saddam Hussein's air force says Iraq moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria before the war by loading the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed.
The Iraqi general, Georges Sada, makes the charges in a new book, "Saddam's Secrets," released this week. He detailed the transfers in an interview yesterday with The New York Sun.
"There are weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria, and they must be found and returned to safe hands," Mr. Sada said. "I am confident they were taken over."
Mr. Sada's comments come just more than a month after Israel's top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Moshe Yaalon, told the Sun that Saddam "transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria."<<

Why is it that we haven't heard one peep about this from our President? If this is so, what is being done about it? Why no tough talk about Syria?
Those are good questions, don't you think?
By the way, "I am confident they were taken over" seems like a somewhat equivocal statement coming from the number 2 man in the air force. What's that about? And why is the Sun the only newspaper to whom these people will talk?
Very curious, I call it.
