Doug Patton provides some interesting historical background on where Syria’s chemical weapons may have come from years ago. It certainly seems plausible that these weapons of mass destruction were, in fact, sent by Saddam Hussein to Syria before his downfall...
Georges Sada is an Iraqi of Assyrian descent. Born in 1939, he was raised in the Assyrian Church of the East, a Christian sect in predominantly Muslim Iraq. Sada says he later became a born-again Christian and began attending an evangelical church.
In 2003, Sada sided with the U.S. during the invasion that toppled Saddam’s government. During that conflict, he served as a spokesman for interim leader Ayad Allawi and was appointed National Security Advisor.

In 2006, Sada laid out the case against Saddam Hussein in a book titled “Saddam’s Secrets,” wherein he writes that the Iraqi leader ordered barrels of chemical weapons loaded onto civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats had been removed and flew them into — you guessed it — Syria.
“There are weapons of mass destruction gone out from Iraq to Syria,” Sada claimed at the time, “and they must be found and returned to safe hands.”
