"Two days before the war, on March 17 [2003], we saw through multiple
intelligence channels - both human intelligence and technical
intelligence - large caravans of people and things, including some of
the top 55 [most wanted] Iraqis, going to Syria."

Asked about repeated claims by Democrats that President Bush "lied"
about Iraq's WMD's, Franks told Malzberg:

"There was no one misleading anybody, except that Saddam Hussein took
credit with his Arab brothers for having weapons of mass destruction."

The ex-CENTCOM commander was referring to his own conversations with
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah, each of
whom told him that Saddam had apprised them of his WMD capacity and
was crazy enough to use it.
