Book - "Saddam's Secrets"

Don't know if any of this is true, but what it purports is certainly interesting. This book, "Saddam's Secrets," published by Integrity Publishers and available on Amazon.com, is an electrifying account of the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq by Saddam's right-hand man, Air Vice-Marshall Gen. Georges Sada.

What's so special about this book? It's an eyewitness account, detailed and nearly indisputable, about the WMDs that did exist, were shuffled around by Saddam's lieutenants to keep the United Nations from finding them, and were airlifted to Syria when Allied troops converged on Baghdad! The man was there and involved in the whole scheme. He gives the dates, the very planes (727 and 747 commercial passenger planes painted with the Arab equivalent of the Red Cross) and many of the details of the 56 sorties that ferried many tons of nuclear and biological materials over into northern Syria.

Gen. Sada was an indispensable aide to Saddam, as chief of his considerable air force and a military expert. He was, and is, also a Christian, though as a highly placed Iraqi he felt loyal to his commander in chief and to his country. He was in much the same position as Tariq Aziz, Saddam's ambassador to the United States , also a Christian by faith, but as loyal as he could be to his country and the dictator who controlled it.

But while Sada was obliged by his oaths of service to do much of Hussein's evil bidding, he also intervened to save at least 24 allied pilots who'd been captured. Risking the maniacal fury of Saddam's son Qusay, the general argued that slaughtering the captives would increase the determination of the allies to kill Saddam and his sons – but that releasing them would court a favorable world opinion and perhaps lessen the attacks on Baghdad, which at times included a thousand air raids a day. At the imminent risk of his own life, he prevailed in getting the airmen released.

One of those whose lives were spared is U..S. Air Force Col. David Eberly, who contributes the foreword – and vouches for the absolute validity of everything Sada says. "Friend, there were abundant weapons of mass destruction, and Saddam Hussein fully intended to disseminate them for use against Israel , America and England . Gen. Sada, because he loves his country, was glad when the allied forces launched their "shock and awe" attack against Hussein; he knew that it was the only way to stop the diabolical plans of the mad dictator. He had sensed that the end result of Saddam's plans could be the everlasting destruction of Iraq and much of the Middle East . There was no way little Iraq , even with Saddam's billions and weapons, could succeed – or even survive the retaliation that would surely come."
