Georges Sada: No WMD

Georges Sada: No WMD
Former Iraqi Gen. Georges Sada, once a close adviser to Saddam
Hussein, has sent a buzz through conservative circles by saying he has
evidence that Iraq moved weapons of mass destruction to Syria before
the U.S. invasion of March 2003. He writes in his book, "Saddam's
Secrets: How an Iraqi General Defied and Survived Saddam Hussein," that
he talked with pilots who said they transported chemical weapons into
neighboring Syria. On its face, the account seemed to dovetail with the
last report of Charles Duelfer, who headed the Iraq Survey Group, which
scoured Iraq looking for weapons. Mr. Duelfer wrote that there were
promising leads in proving that weapons did go to Syria, but he was
unable to pursue them because of security concerns in a violent Iraq.
But Mr. Sada's assertions are not among those promising leads. A source
close to the now-disbanded Iraq Survey Group said it investigated Mr.
Sada's claims and found no basis. "We were not able to find anything we
could verify," the source said.
