It’s a fact that Saddam Hussein used sarin gas on the Kurds in northern Iraq during a 1987-88 campaign.

Georges Sada was a trusted general of Saddam Hussein. In his book “Sadam’s Secrets” (pages 259-261), Sada detailed how Saddam had made a deal with Bashar al-Assad to move his weapons of mass destruction to Syria. France has now confirmed that Assad has used WMDs in Syria on his own people. What have they determined the agent to be? Sarin gas.

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely: “If you go back to January through March of 2003, we had intelligence in the Defense Department that the Russians helped move, by convoy, a lot of the chemical and biological weapons into two locations in Syria and one in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon.” Also: “We think Russia and Iran have enhanced their inventory, but the vast majority of those chemical and biological weapons are from Iraq.”

Those of you who want to hold the George W. Bush-no-WMDs sword over the heads of conservatives might want to think twice. Things are starting to add up.
