What he needs to do is testify and name names. He says he knows the Iraqi Air Force pilots who flew 727s and 747s out of Iraq but won't name them. These pilots require to be tracked down. Anyway the guy is promoting his book. Why wasn't he interviewed by the ISG? Why are those wrecks and stored 727s and 747s still in Iraq not tested for any residue of possible WMD?

The General has used two sources in his book. The flights out of Iraq to support the Syrian humanitarian dam cause. These flights were recorded by the UN. The Iraqis had to report them under the agreement. He is also using the Jordanian planned chemical attack. If those chemicals recovered in Jordan had been weapons grade chemical weapons then the Jordanians would have given access to the US and the world would have known about it. In my opinion the guy is resting on very dodgy sources in an effort to promote his book. It will be interesting if he is brought to testify and is made to expand on his book. Failing that he is just riding on the back of known events.

Might as well fight 'em now, we'll be fighting them sooner or later anyway.

Indeed...and I'd rather fight them "there" than the "shopping centers of Boston".
