WMD: SADDAM COLONEL MAKES CHILLING CONFESSION
EFLDecember 8, 2003 -- An Iraqi colonel has confirmed that Saddam Hussein had secret weapons of mass destruction - and revealed that front-line commanders were given warheads that could be launched against coalition forces within 45 minutes. Tap, tap...zippy! Lt. Col. al-Dabbagh told Londonâs Telegraph he was the source of the British governmentâs claim - later repeated by President Bush - that Saddam could launch a biological or chemical attack in 45 minutes after the order was given. Click, click... "I am the one responsible for providing that information," the colonel said. It wasnât a lie? Tap, tap...still not working. Al-Dabbagh, 40, who Cases of the warheads - known by Iraqi officers as "the secret weapon" - were delivered to front-line units, including his own, toward the end of last year, he said. The 45-minute claim was included in a dossier of Saddamâs crimes that was used to justify British involvement in the war in Iraq. President Bush repeated the claim in discussions with congressional leaders on Sept. 26, 2002, and in a radio address two days later. I would imagine we need to give this claim a few days to see how it plays out. Posted by: Dragon Fly 2003-12-08 |
