Iraq's WMD Secreted in Syria, Sada Says
BY IRA STOLL - Staff Reporter of the Sun
January 26, 2006
http://www.nysun.com/article/26514

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.

Mr. Sada, 65, told the Sun that the pilots of the two airliners that
transported the weapons of mass destruction to Syria from Iraq approached
him in the middle of 2004, after Saddam was captured by American troops.

"I know them very well. They are very good friends of mine. We trust each
other. We are friends as pilots," Mr. Sada said of the two pilots. He
declined to disclose their names, saying they are concerned for their
safety. But he said they are now employed by other airlines outside Iraq.

The pilots told Mr. Sada that two Iraqi Airways Boeings were converted to
cargo planes by removing the seats, Mr. Sada said. Then Special Republican
Guard brigades loaded materials onto the planes, he said, including "yellow
barrels with skull and crossbones on each barrel." The pilots said there was
also a ground convoy of trucks.

The flights - 56 in total, Mr. Sada said - 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.

Rocket...according to Mr. Nyquist's web page
it'll be the ruskies who must launch a sneek attack:

quote:
On the Third World War....

Moreover, massive armed forces, well trained in the use of modern military equipment, will be required from the very first days of the war, since the belligerents will attempt to achieve their strategic military and political aims in the shortest possible time. Combat operations, employing nuclear weapons extensively, will immediately develop on a tremendous scale, on land, on sea, and in the air; and these operations will be most fierce and decisive. In such conditions, one can hardly count on a more or less extended period, as in previous wars, to mobilize fully and to deploy one's armed forces. At the same time, not even the economically strongest states can today keep their armed forces fully deployed during peacetime.

Obviously, the best solution of the problem would be the peacetime maintenance of such armed forces as would be able to secure at least certain proximate strategic war aims while the remaining echelons were being fully mobilized and put into operation.
