GEN Sada: An Officer & a Gentleman
In Larry Elder’s March 2, 2006 interview with former Iraqi GEN Georges Sada, criticizing the President during a time of war was discussed:
Elder: General, as you know, the president has been accused of lying about the intelligence, fabricating it, cherry-picking it, that he wanted to go to war, he really didn’t believe that Saddam had WMD. It was all a big smokescreen. When you hear people accuse the president of lying about WMD, of misleading the country and the world, your reaction, Gen. Georges Sada, is what?
Sada: Let me tell you. I am really surprised how people are speaking like this and their soldiers are still in the battle. You see, a soldier when he is in battle, he wants to feel that all his nation are backing him and they are with him. And now I tell you I feel very sorry when I see some people in this country, their soldiers are in the battle, and they are discussing political things making that soldier to feel that he is there in the wrong place. That’s one. Second, if there was something right had been done in this country, it was the best decision taken in the proper time, to go and liberate Iraq from an evil dictatorship who only God knows what he was going to do in the region, and maybe even to America, because that man was possessing the weapons of mass destruction and then he was with very evil intentions towards all the West, especially America.
Finally, someone gets it.
Do yourself a favor and WATCH THIS VIDEO of GEN Sada being interviewed by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. While Stewart’s role in the interview is less than impressive (and embarrassing at times), GEN Sada coherently discusses Saddam and WMD. (hat tip: Jeannie’s Coffee House)
