Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Friday spoke to retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney about recent rumors of a chemical attack near Aleppo, Syria.
"What are the chances of the return address on these chemicals being from Iraq?" Kilmeade wondered.
"Well, I think there is a high probability of that," McInerney declared. "That's conjecture, but we do know prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom, there was a lot of vehicles crossing the border into Syria. And there was a great deal of conjecture. A Iraqi major general swore by it. He said he delivered it."
"And so I think that it would be a very high probability if we could get into those bunkers that they would have Iraqi signatures on them."
In 2006, McInerney told Newsmax that there was "clear evidence" that Iraq had WMDs before the war and that the Bush administration "ignored Russia's involvement" in helping to hide the weapons.
"[T]he administration needed the Russians, the Chinese and the French, and was not interested in information that would make them look bad," he said.
A U.S. official on Thursday said that evidence suggested that chemical weapons (CW) had not been used in the latest attacks in Syria.
"Our growing sense is that weaponized CW was not used," the official remarked, according to Reuters.
A European security official noted that the use of weapons of mass destruction in Syria would have left a death toll much higher than 26.

It rather echoes the WMD excuse for the Iraq war, as in .........
'February 07, 2003 No 10 admits mistake in copying Iraq dossier
Downing Street today said it made a mistake in failing to acknowledge that a large section of a dossier on Saddam Hussein was copied from a Californian postgraduate student's outdated thesis.
The UK government and secret services are not some fly by night website that failed to credit someone out of ignorance. They stole the material in order to propagandize the world. So now people must know that it is little academic students who are behind U.S. and UK unintelligence. The UK and US governments have been playing the UN and the world for fools. Do not doubt that they are busy searching these little websites for angles to present to the world. The rather embarrassed U.S. Govโt is now issuing a terror watch in order to distract the world.'
Where's the proof; surely with today's satellite technology that is able to read a car's number plate, they would have seen dozens and dozens of truck movements transporting from one country to another?
