Saddam's Secrets: How an Iraqi General Defied and Survived Saddam Hussein

Most of what Georges Sada says in his book is factual and probably correct. However I could not avoid the impression that the book has been written for American consumption. It is peppered with Christian phrases (which is OK for a Christian as a book written by a Muslim might contain Muslim phrases) designed to appeal to the American Bible Belt and to add authenticity to what he writes. My main criticism is that there is no evidence to support his fanciful assertion that the entire Iraqi stock of WMD went over to Syria.

I was privileged to be present to hear Georges Sada speak over a period of 1 1/2 hours and to tell his own account of life under Saddam. No one should be permitted to comment on Saddam's hanging until they have read this book and learned what a force for pure evil the man was. It is also remarkable that with the availability of a first-hand account of the existence, intended use and eventual secret removal of the WMDs that still there are people who think that they did not exist. Georges was interviewed in the USA and told his story and there are also DVDs of his interivews in the UK. (......)

Those elusive WMDs (11/11 people found this helpful)

The contents of this book, together with the interviews Georges Sada gave in the US have been ignored by the Media in the UK, because he is saying so much that they do not wish either to hear or to inform us about.

Georges Sada, an outsider to Saddam's Baath centred regime, became a top pilot and then a trainer in the Iraqi air force on merit alone. He then became a General - no mean feat for a non-Arab and a Christian in Saddam's Iraq, and one who insisted that Saddam be told truths which he did not wish to hear. More recently Sada has been awarded a prize for Peace by the Coventry Cathedral based Centre for International Reconciliation.

He states unequivocally that Saddam had chemical weapons in Iraq as late as summer 2002. That those weapons were removed to Syria by 56 Boeing 747 flights and by lorry convoys during that summer, when it became clear that Saddam could no longer stall the visit of UN weapons inspectors to his facilities.

Why is he so sure of this? Because he knows the pilots who flew the planes to Syria under the guise of sending aid to Syria after the bursting of the Zeyzoun dam in June 2002.

Is he telling the truth? Well you will have to make up your mind. It seems to me that this explanation throws light on the universal belief amongst the world's security services that Saddam did have WMDs stockpiled in Iraq prior to the Second Gulf War. It also explains why those stockpiles have not been found (although the scientists and the raw materials have.)

This is a story that much of the anti-war, anti-US lobby in this country don't want you to read!
