Saddam's WMD in Syria... "you just wait" comments... where is this coming from?

Question

I've heard this now on several posts... and it's the first time I've heard it put this way...

where did this "you just wait" comments come from and what exactly are you talking about, since you say it, but say nothing else about it?

is there some facts I missed somewhere? Please cite something that tells me where you're going with this?

oh, and I don't really trust Iraqi generals... call me quirky

Super Man: ah... is there something that trigered this idea recently, since this... overall... is the first I have heard of this idea?

senior citizen: ah.. perhaps that's it... thanks...

sacolunga: follow up question... since anyone that doesn't believe this "credible evidence" is "naive", as you put it.... why hasn't president Bush acted on this or even mentioned it?

wouldn't this justify his whole war and by not acting on it, isn't it just making him look like a fool?

If I was Bush... and believed this information... I would have been in Syria with bells on two or three years ago to show everyone that they have WMD...

just saying...

Long before the cease-fire, Hezbollah had said they had a "surprise" in store for the Israelis. This was believed to be chemical or biological weapons smuggled out of Iraq into Syria.

I think they're purely just trying to provide excuses for not finding WMD in Iraq. By "Iraq giving WMDs to Syria, we can invade and have an excuse for obtaining yet more oil fields rotflmao etc etc". And they would have gotten away with it too if it werent for us meddling kids.

Personally I think its all just made up. Remember the proof from Iraq of WMDs? I'm not naive enough to think that Syria and Iran aren't threats to world stability, but it seems to me that the target can all too easily be changed by pointing the finger and shouting "weapons stocks!" when its deemed necessary.

In April of 2004, al Qaeda attempted to attack Jordan with chemical weapons. The attack originated in Syria, but the chemical weapons were not of Syrian manufacture.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
In April 2004, the Jordanian government announced that it had disrupted an al-Zarqawi scheme to blow up the country's security services headquarters with trucks packed with enough chemicals and explosives to create a gas cloud that could have killed 80,000 people.

The alleged ringleader confessed to the plot on television and said he was acting under al-Zarqawi's orders. Al-Zarqawi issued a statement on the Internet admitting that he was behind the planned attack. While he denied that chemical weapons were involved, he added that he wished he had such a bomb.

"Yes, the plan was to completely destroy the Jordanian intelligence building," al-Zarqawi said. "God knows that should we -- and we ask God to shortly empower us to -- possess that kind of bomb, we would not hesitate one second to use it on Israeli cities."

here is an interveiw off the daily show.

JON STEWART, HOST: Then, is the battle between our two countries, was it drummed up between Saddam and his interests to dominate the Arab world and our interests to have stability? Was it inevitable? Is it something that came through misunderstandings of culture?

GENERAL GEORGES SADA: Well let me tell you, it was not misunderstanding between the cultures, but t was the Saddam intentions and Saddam wanted to rule that part of the world. He was always going to go for weapons and of course he had weapons of mass destruction that he had managed to hide and to mislead the United Nations countries.

STEWART: This is obviously the most controversial part of the book. In it you say that right before the invasion of Iraq Saddam had his weapons of mass destruction taken to Syria.

SADA: That’s true. He had them there before Americans came and liberated the country. The weapons were transported to Syria by air and by ground.

STEWART: That would seemingly get the Bush administration off the giant hook that it appears to be on. Why wouldn’t they pursue that line of evidence? Or have they? It seems like for us it would be hard to understand that that really happened. Given that the whole world was looking for those.

SADA: I am sure in the coming days the authorities are going to tell the public and tell all Americans after they will have all the evidence in their hands and they can verify everything to the Americans.

STEWART: You still feel, now this is first-hand knowledge of yours? Somebody told you this? You’ve seen it in documents? You’ve seen it on video.

SADA: Oh yes, the weapons of mass destruction I have seen them myself because you see I was the number two man in the air force. Then I know how they were used against our nation. Of course—
STEWART: But in the later ‘90s after they thought they had rid them of it, you still saw them.

SADA: After the ‘90s they were there. How I knew they were there, after they were transported the pilots who transported they told me.

STEWART: The guys that flew them …

SADA: The guys who were responsible.

STEWART: How do you fly a weapon? Isn’t that a large thing or do you put it….

SADA: No. They are raw materials; some of them are like barrels, yellow barrels, of course, with skulls and cross bones on them.

STEWART: You think if you’re going to hide that stuff you think you might paint something like you know, spam.

[laughter]

STEWART: In your mind this will all come out. We will learn that there are weapons of mass destruction. You can understand how it’s hard for us to be a little bit skeptical but I like you.
