Saddam Targeted American Assets For Terrorism: Case Closed Jveritas translation confirmed ....

A few days ago, I posted a translation of a document culled from the captured Iraqi documents that the US found during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This particular memo, dated March 17, 2001, comes from a brigadier general in the Iraqi Air Force and requests a list of volunteers from all units under his command for suicide attackers. The memo explicitly explains the targets for these terrorist attacks, as the original translation from Joseph Shahda shows:

The top secret letter 2205 of the Military Branch of Al Qadisya on 4/3/2001 announced by the top secret letter 246 from the Command of the military sector of Zi Kar on 8/3/2001 announced to us by the top secret letter 154 from the Command of Ali Military Division on 10/3/2001 we ask to provide that Division with the names of those who desire to volunteer for Suicide Mission to liberate Palestine and to strike American Interests and according what is shown below to please review and inform us.

When I posted this document, readers of this blog questioned the accuracy of the translation. People know that Joseph translated this for Free Republic, a strongly pro-war website, and that it was distributed by Laurie Mylroie, another pro-war commentator. Skeptics felt that this pedigree lent itself to a possibly warped interpretation of the memo. While the accuracy of the translation remained in question, the actual text -- which showed an active Iraqi terror program aimed at Americans -- would not get the attention it deserved.

In order to solve this problem, I decided to hire two Arabic translators on my own.

j.............YOU are what FR is all about.

I am so disgusted with the emotional, hate-Bush garbage going on all over FR these days.

You are truly a breath of fresh air!

Thank you again for all your hard work to bring us TRUTH!

Thanks for this post Ernest. The record now contains evidence of Saddam's materials support for terror strikes against the USA prior to 9-11. I agree, we had every right to attack Saddam's Iraq as a theater in the WOT and that case can now be closed with no doubt remaining.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

You are a true American hero and represent the best of why the MSM is dying and sites like FreeRepublic are thriving. We are all in your debt.

My sentiments as well.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This memo is dated March 17, 2001, less than six months prior to the coordinated al-Qaeda attack on the US, at a time when the AQ plotters and pilots appeared to be in close proximity to Iraqi intelligence agents in Europe.

Yes. And let's not forget about Iraq's Saman Pak, where arab terrorists were trained to, among other things, commander a commercial aircraft.

Freepers -

Bloggers, everyday people like you and I were able to bring down Dan Rather with the phony guard story with less credible documents than these translations. CBS was viewed as not credible by a majority of the American public after that.

It only took a week or so to do it.

CBS tried to ignore the bloggers, yet they could not.

Why do you think the MSM is not reporting on these? Because they are scared to death of their contents. They know these are real SMOKING GUNS, so they are trying to bury them and hope they do not reach the light of day.

I am bringing it to them, and I need an ARMY OF DAVIDS to help. If we are going to stand for something, we might as well STAND TALL. Remember, we owe it to our children and theirs.

What is also interesting about the timing is that it is immediately after Bush was elected. Kind of looks like Saddam knew he was screwed. http://rayrobison.typepad.com/ray_robison/2006/04/saddams_support.html

This is surely the primer site to find and analyis world news. I do hope once I find a job, and if it can supply a sufficient salary, I shall become a more regular donor.
Surely Jveritas has to feel what he is doing is of extreme importance. And we salute him for his efforts.

[Grampa Dave]

Good luck with the job hunting.

I'm sure that when you are employed, you will do what is right.

A lot of freepers news and some old ones, don't realize that we need donations to keep the site up and doing great jobs like this.

Needless to say, we were extremely proud of the way our military took Baghdad so quickly.


^^^^^

Posted on the Fifth Anniversary of the Taking of Baghdad!!!

OOps! I should have written Third Anniversary. It has been five years since Mohammed Atta could have been [was]in Prague.

"A lot of freepers new and some old ones, don't realize that we need donations to keep the site up and doing great jobs like this."
I second your opinion.

Very good work by the Captain in ferreting out the arrest of the two Iraqi Intelligence agents in Germany. It certainly appears that Saddam's regime was working along the same lines as Al Qaeda.

[patriciaruth]

Bookmarked. Thanks!

Thanks for the ping, These revelations are getting more and more interesting.

Great job by the Captain, and again kudos to jveritas.
