I’m doing better, but I’m heading back to bed.
In the meantime, this week’s Shire Network News can keep you entertained.
Here’s an article about Jews with guns saving themselves from terrorist attacks.
Hamas is threatening to break through the Israeli border. That would be a huge mistake. But it’s just hot air.
Now this one I’m interested in: The JPost says that Israel has found proof that Saddam’s WMDs were shipped to Syria, and that’s what Israel bombed in the desert. I’m rather skeptical, but interested.
There are already allegations of the move of weapons to Syria.
Gen. George Sada –
HANNITY: Yes. You reveal in this book, there’s been so much discussion about weapons of mass destruction, whether they had them, where they were stored, how they got rid of them, you know, when it came time for the United States to invade and where are they now? You answered these questions.
SADA: Well, I want to make it clear, very clear to everybody in the world that we had the weapon of mass destruction in Iraq, and the regime used them against our Iraqi people. It was used against Kurds in the north, against Arabs — marsh Arabs in the south…
HANNITY: Some people say they were destroyed. Did we still have them leading up to the invasion?
SADA: No, he had a very good organization that Saddam was created to show some of them but to continue to hide.
HANNITY: So he had them.
SADA: Yes.
HANNITY: Where were they? And were they moved and where?
SADA: Well, up to the year 2002, 2002, in summer, they were in Iraq. And after that, when Saddam realized that the inspectors are coming on the first of November and the Americans are coming, so he took the advantage of a natural disaster happened in Syria, a dam was broken. So he — he announced to the world that he is going to make an air bridge…
HANNITY: You know for a fact he moved these weapons to Syria?
SADA: Yes.
Gen Moshe Yaalon – http://www2.nysun.com/article/24480 –
The Israeli officer, Lieutenant General Moshe Yaalon, asserted that Saddam spirited his chemical weapons out of the country on the eve of the war. “He transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria,” General Yaalon told The New York Sun over dinner in New York on Tuesday night. “No one went to Syria to find it.”
From July 2002 to June 2005, when he retired, General Yaalon was chief of staff of the Israel Defense Force, the top job in the Israeli military, analogous to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the American military. He is now a military fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He made similar, but more speculative, remarks in April 2004 that attracted little notice in America; at that time he was quoted as saying of the Iraqi weapons, “Perhaps they transferred them to another country, such as Syria.”
So the question is whether this “new” evidence is really new or just a rehash of previously made assertions.
What I think is a little more interesting are the arrests in the killing of Mughniyeh. Are the arrests for failing to protect the terrorist? Or for conspiracy?
