Thanks for the link to the 2003 thread....
Thank you!!!!
This is even more fun than Venona.
Of course, the MSM will claim that this document is so old that it hardly matters for the war.
After all, "everybody" knows that Sadaam gassed the Kurds. But by the time we invaded Iraq, Sadaam had gotten rid of all of these weapons, therefore, Bush lied.
The true significance of this document, however, is as a death sentence for Sadaam should one of the trials fail to produce such a result. This shows Sadaam ordering the gassing himself.
Draw and quarter him.
Great stuff here, Doug!
wow - bump.
It's dated 1987. Given the audio tapes discussed recently that are recorded conversations of Saddam saying that he didn't have WMDs (shortly before the start of the war) to his "advisors", I'd like to see something more recent.
Or maybe a 'blood agent.'
I think it was in a more recent translation of another doc. If this confirms "Special Amunition" = WMD then this could be something.
Please don't feel required to respond. You are giving enough of your time on this project as is. Some may complain about time frames as being to early on etc.. But the point is your work and others shall be accumulative in nature. As your lead to investigate these documents, they get archived at FR. So I only see your work as being worthwhile. For those that whine, perhaps they should attempt to wade through the public archives at the miliary site and others, and suggest just what ones should be a priority. They probably do not realize you must view these docs, and determine what ones may contain some usefull info. Hardly an easy task, and surely time consuming. So once again, thank you.
Fascinating. My interpretation of the meaning of this... posted on

This is discussions with the internal top-level Iraqi regime, showing they knew that their numbers and reports to UN weapons inspectors were deceptive. And now, the rest of the story - part of that discrepancy was a volume of checmical weapons that were put to use against Iranians and Kurds. In other words, where did the chemical weapons go? Some were used to kill innocents, and the Iraqi regime would never admit it. Ask the victims of Hallabjah. They know.

Dittos on this. This is valuable and important information to share, to tell the whole story. Thanks for your efforts.
Each piece of information adds to the truth.
Bravo, jveritas!
Good catch on page nine. Perhaps we shall see it in english some time soon.
It may be old news, but this is proof that Saddam personally ordered it.
I know you're probably tired of hearing this, but thank you so much for this work.
le bumpus!!
"I think it was in a more recent translation of another doc. If this confirms "Special Amunition" = WMD then this could be something."
I just finished reading Georges Sada's book "Saddam's Secrets. In that book he referred to Special Amunition as Mustard gas and I believe Sarin.
He did specifically write that "Special Amunition" equalled WMD.
You welcome :)
