[Mr. Mojo]

Abdullah said that trucks containing 17.5 tons of [chemical] explosives had come from Syria

And Syria got them from ........Saddam?

[stboz]

What type of chemical? Nerve gas? What?

[Semper Paratus]

Haven't seen CNN report this. And probably never will.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Oh what would the world do without this Hashemite savior? What a buddy what a pal.

[chiller]

Bump this one, baby, as evidence of Saddam's missing WMD.

[cincinnati65]

"In his testimony before Congress last year, Mr. Kay said U.S. satellite surveillance showed substantial vehicular traffic going from Iraq to Syria just prior to the U.S.attack on March 19, 2003 attack."

I've never understood why no one has mentioned that of course, Saddam was getting the WMD's out of Iraq, but what was happening in the U.S. at the time? The DEMOCRATS in Congress were saying we should give the U.N. Inspectors more time. Get the U.N.'s blessing before beginning a military operation. Dragging our feet, while Saddam is off-loading inventory.

Then, these very same butt-wipes are the same ones who JUMPED to criticize the President about there being no WMD's, saying Bush mislead the public.

And all in the name of politics....

I never trust Newsmax articles. I think this one is misleading. Newsmax always raises hopes and then when you find out the real scoop, you feel cheated. This article cites the SF Chronicle interview with Abdullah. Here is that article: Chronicle article

The Chronicle has its biases and they are evident in the article, but any astute reader can catch them. Compare what Newsmax says about the Chron article with the article itself. There are some interesting things about Jordan in here too.

When will our President telling American's about these WMD coming from Iraq?

>>Syria, the country named by U.S. weapons inspector David Kay last year as a likely repository for Iraq's@@ weapons@@ of@@ mass@@ destruction.@@

>>"It was a major, major operation. It would have decapitated the government," King Abdullah told the San Francisco Chronicle. Jordanian officials estimated that the death count could have been as high as 20,000 - seven times greater than the Sept. 11 attacks.

Check out what a former Palestinian terrorist-turned Christian-Israeli-ally [Walid Shoebat]says about Jordan's future. Al Qaeda may have missed this time, but perhaps not the next time...

Link to Jordan's future

[what's up]

Dots are being connected.

[Finalapproach29er]

Why doesn't Jordan attack Syria, then?

[driftless]

Hussein had his WMD's shipped out of the country?!!? Surely that's beyond the realm of possibility! (snicker, snicker)

[TomasUSMC]

AND if we keep wasting time in Iraq with these Vietnam rules of engagement and truces and ceasefires. If we keep wasting time going house to house worrying about the civilian casualties - THIS IS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ.

Sooner or later the enemy is going to get a hold of a WMD, they are going to put on American uniforms, steal a humvee and blow hell out of the "Green Zone" and take 5000 American lives.

The clock is one the enemies side, Fight or get out, there is no middle ground - unless you want to call it NAM.

If the stuff didn't go BOOM, there could be some evidence
left as to it's point of origin or manufacture.

...or even to it's source of raw materials (france?)

[EGPWS]

Abdullah said that trucks containing 17.5 tons of explosives had come from Syria,...

The question now is what are WE going to do about it now, slap someones hands with diplomatic rhetoric or nip it with hard core action in Syria before they get to the US?

[JerseyHighlander]

Abdullah said that trucks containing 17.5 tons of explosives had come from Syria, though he took pains not to implicate Syrian President Bashir Assad in the al Qaeda plot, saying, "I'm completely confident that Bashir did not know about it."

I'll buy that, reports speculate Bashir still doesn't have any real power over his father's heads of security and military operations. So it wouldn't surprise anyone if some small group of government hacks followed the Pakistani ISI gameplan and diverted resources to Al Queada. It can be discounted, but not ruled out, right?

[Allan]

Interesting news.
Of course this is what John Loftus has been saying all along.

[sauropod]

syrian traffic ping.

[Gritty]

GASP!!

Trucks (plural)... 17.5 tons of explosives... Syria... chemical weapons... poison gas... Al Qaeda... (Syrian President) Bashir did not know... decapitation of Jordanian government... major, major operation...

Man, oh man, that's a lot of dots which can be ultimately and readily connected to (guess who?) --- pre-war Iraq!

But, don't think for a minute it will knock Dru Sjodin, John Kerry's accusations against Cheney and Rove, or pictures of a captured American soldier out of the news - even for an honorable mention.

Life goes on in Post 9/11 Slumberland, otherwise known as our major news media, where every day is a challenge to try and slander President Bush, uplift the Liberals and drive the Elections in their favor!

Oh, if that operation had gone off successfully, it would have been all Bush's fault for invading Iraq and stirring up the peaceful Middle East, where we were just getting the "Peace Process" worked out when he so rudely interupted it with his lies about WMD and Saddam which took us into a unilateral and cowboy war without United Nations help and approval and leaving all our allies behind while declaring war against children, puppies and other living things.
