Re: "...Saddam, under the pretext of sending aid to Syria for a collapsed dam and the resulting floods, converted a jumbo 747 and 727. He used the planes to smuggle 100s of tons of WMDS into Syria via 56 flights to Damascus." Which, of course, since the US and allies had total control of the air space over the no-fly zones... we would have scads of hard evidence for this --- radar tracks, direct photographic evidence of the flights... not to mention any corroborating evidence from the ground in either nation, loading/unloading, etc. You ever stop to think that maybe this 'JewishWorldReview' columnist has played you for a sucker? and that they might, just MIGHT, be lots of political reasons someone would want you to swallow such a thin tale --- that just so happens to favor their interests? Also --- did you ever stop to remember that the Syrians were supporters of the Iranians --- Saddam's MAIN regional enemy? and that (just prior to Desert Storm, the first US/Iraq War, Saddam made the silly mistake of flying most of the advanced warplanes of his airforce to Iran for 'safe keeping', and that --- try as he might, beg, borrow, plead, etc. --- he NEVER GOT THEM BACK! :) Do you REALLY think he would be that STUPID again... especially when all he had to do was to BURY stuff in the sands of his deserts --- where it would likely be a HELL of a lot safer for him then in any neighboring nation! If ANY of this was TRUE, the US would have had Bashir's balls in a ringer --- and Syria would have been 're-made' by us ALREADY! (Hell --- that was the REASON we WENT INTO IRAQ for ORIGINALLY. We would have hot-pursued that stuff into Damascus in three quarter time!) Sheesh... the illogical stuff you 'black helicopter' guys will swallow is simply amazing....
