While certainly it’s possible that Saddam started preparations sometime in the summer of 2002, it’s also very possible that the seed was planted in his head that the US aimed to finally disarm Iraq by a top official in Syria, who was told by none other than US Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) in January 2002 that he (Sen. Rockefeller) believed that the President was preparing to invade Iraq. By Rockefeller’s own admission (emphasis added):

SEN. ROCKEFELLER: No. The – I mean, this question is asked a thousand times and I’ll be happy to answer it a thousand times. I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was ...

I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq – that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.

It’s become more and more clear to me, and anyone else who has followed the story of what happened to Iraq’s WMDs that Saddam Hussein had plenty of time to move, hide, flush down a river, bury, and/or destroy the unaccounted-for stockpiles of WMD. Not only is it very likely that he received advance notice of this through a top Syrian official thanks to the big mouth of a Democratic US Senator, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that the back and forth wrangling at the UN we had to do from the time the President made his speech there in September 2002 to the time of the actual start of the war, Saddam Hussein had plenty of time to move WMDs. In my view, this is thanks to the spineless UN and an anti-war Democratic US Senator who tipped him off via discussions with an ally to Iraq: Syria.
