Half of the planes were to come in from the north over Jordan; and half from the south - all at once in a massive surprise attack. How many would have made it? – unknown, but if only one made it the death toll could have been very great. Saddam was also massing his forces for an all out attack on Saudi Arabia.


Both plans were canceled because of the action of George Bush 41 and the coalition in the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. Before the invasion of Baghdad General Sada also reported that 56 commercial plane loads of WMD's were flown to Syria under the guise of flood relief. Convoys were also sent. This revelation was totally ignored by the news media in keeping with their ideological editing of the news. Should a major outbreak of violence with Syria occur in the future – look out for these WMD's to reappear.


Ref: Saddam's Secrets by General Georges Sada
Gen Sada is a Christian and survived contradicting Saddam on many occasions by telling the truth and not pandering to him. He was number two in the Iraqi Air Force only because top officers in Saddam's regime had to be members of the Baath Party – and Sada refused.

If we can't believe Sada, who has never lied and was a top insider in Saddam's war machine - who can we believe?

“From the statement in Rom. 13:10, that “love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law,� it will be seen that Christian love does not possibly admit of wars and fightings. Its possession makes it impossible for one to say, as is frequently said in these days, “I have been an advocate of peace and arbitration for twenty-five years, but�—and then go on to say that under such provocation as now exists war is welcomed. “Love worketh no ill to his neighbor;� and no philosophy can ever make it appear that it does a man any good to kill him.

When the soldiers asked John the Baptist what they should do, as followers of the Lamb of God, to whom he pointed, he replied, “Do violence to no man.� Luke 3:14. Those who asked were “soldiers on service,� as we see from the margin of the Revised Version. And the margin also gives as the alternative rendering of John’s answer, “Put no man in fear.� It would be a very mild war in which this command was followed. Love never does any harm to anybody; but love is active, since it is the life of God; therefore love is always doing good. Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, “went about doing good.� End Quote

Are we not to be Patriotic?

One may ask, "What about patriotism, a love of country?" We could say then, "Christian patriotism is a love for country of his Christian birth." If I'm not out of line to say so, the Christian birth is the new birth; it's being "born again," which is being "born from above," that would be heaven.

Abraham was commanded by God to "Get thee out of thy country, ... into the land that I will show thee." And "confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. ... But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly:" Hebrews 11:13-16.

Christian patriotism is the love of the heavenly country. Then should Christians fight? YES. "Fight the good fight of faith ..." 1 Timothy 6:12.

Remember, "...the carnal mind is enmity against God" Romans 8:7. ("For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds). Casting down imaginations [human reasoning], and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God..." 2 Corinthians 10:4, 5.

"I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." John 17:14.

May spiritual Israel be peacemakers, not warmakers. If Christians are not peacemakers, who will fulfill God's word in Christ?

blessings in Christ,
John

General Sada does not name the pilots who made the flights in his book. He claimed to know them personally however. I would think that somebody would persue this. I don't think the mainstream media would be interested in locating the missing WMD'S because their agenda is to destroy Bush politically. They completely ignored this significant news when it broke a year or two ago.

Saddam was in control of Iraq, and I think Muzahim Sa'b Hasan al-Tikriti was the Commander of the Iraqi Air Defense Forces.

I'm attempting to learn more about these foreign countries. You sure don't learn much by watching the news. They would have you think that Iraq is nothing but a war zone because that is mostly all they show us on TV. Just as we don't get the full picture of them they don't get one about America.
