Pentagon/FMSO website about PreWar Iraq docments ^ | March 23 2006 | jveritas

Posted on 03/23/2006 11:38:46 AM PST by jveritas

Document CMPC 2004-002219 has many letters that discuss the order of Saddam Hussein to use Chemical Weapons in Northern Iraq against who they call agents of Iran, and they are mainly Kurds followers of Massoud Al Barazani, Saddam regime call them “The Destroyers”, but of course many civilian died in these Chemical attacks because Chemical weapons deadly effects spread much larger than the area where it hit. Page 1 is a letter dated April/8/1987 talks about the final decision to hit the Kurds with Special Ammunition (Chemical Weapons). Then page 4 and 5 are from a letter dated a week earlier March /31/1987 were the Saddam Intelligence are discussing the way to conduct the strike with Chemical Weapons and in this letter they were very clear about the meaning of Special Ammunition where they identified it as MUSTARD AGENT where it is called in letter as “AA’MEL AL KHARDAL” where AA”MEL =AGENT (chemical agent that is), and “AL KHARDAL” = MUSTARD, and this letter mentions another chemical agent called in Arabic as “ AA”MEL AL ZAYEN” i.e. “ AL ZAYEN AGENT”, I need to find out what is the meaning of “AL ZAYEN” may be it is nerve agent or blistering agent, it an Arabic chemical word that I need to find out what it means..

Thank you.

Are we using the single keyword PREWARDOCS for all of the related docs?

I think these are letters from 1987. There is no dispute that SH had used chemicals on the kurds and Iranians.

Well, actually, there are a lot of people running around saying that Iraq NEVER had chemical weapons. It is a completely unsustainable argument, but it's out there.

Short Answer: "Senate Intelligence" is an oxymoron.

These documents are from 1987 and the actions by Saddam taken were well documented already. Basically, it is old news backed up by new documents.

Thank you all. Let us reveal the horror of this Saddam regime, his connections to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, and his WMD's. No doubt about it that we did a great service to our security, the security of the world and to humanity by taking this evil man and his regime down.

Could you help out with this?:

March 22, 2006
What Does This Say?

******************************************

If you speak Arabic, please take a look a this document, which was released on Monday. A Synopsis of the document, which is dated some time in 2002, has now been posted on the Foreign Military Studies Office site:

IIS [Iraqi intelligence] report on Kurdish activities, mention of Kurdish reporting on Al Qaida, reference to Al Qaida presence in Salman Pak.

The English summary that is part of the PDF document itself reads:

They are talking about American came from the North. Also they informed about Al Qaida groups and about foreign man (Malkrikav) in Norway he is one of the Al Qaida.

Salman Pak is a town near Baghdad; it is best known as the site of an Iraqi military facility that reportedly was used to train terrorists before the war. We'd like to hear from anyone who can translate the document.
