March 2003 Top Secret Memo: TRANSFER OF SPECIAL AMMUNITION (POTENTIAL CHEMICAL WEAPONS) Translation
Pentagon/FMSO Iraq Pre-War Documents ^ | April 17 2007 | jveritas

Posted on 04/17/2006 8:40:37 AM PDT by jveritas

Document ISGP-2003-0001498 ISGP-2003-0001498 contains a 9 pages TOP SECRET memo (pages 87-96 in the pdf document) dated March 16 2003 that talks about transferring “SPECIAL AMMUNITION” from one ammunition depot in Najaf to other ammunition depots near Baghdad. As we know by now the term SPECIAL AMMUNITION was used by Saddam Regime to designate CHEMICAL WEAPONS as another translated document has already shown. For example in document CMPC 2004-002219 where Saddam regime decided to use “CHEMICAL WEAPONS against the Kurds” they used the term “SPECIAL AMMUNITION” for chemical weapon http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1601810/posts. What is also interesting is that these “SPECIAL AMMUNITION” were listed as 122 mm, 130 mm, and 155 mm caliber shells which are not by itself SPECIAL unless it contain CHEMICAL WEAPONS. In fact the Iraqi have always used 122 mm, 130 mm, and 155 mm caliber shell as a main delivery tool for Chemical Weapons Agents by filling these type of shells with Nerve Gas, Sarin, Racin, Mustard gas and other Chemical Agents.

It's my understanding the the UN inspectors as of FEB. 2003 were destroying 155mm war heads filled with mustard gas -- total of 50 liters of mustard gas. This is documented somewhere by the UN and Dr. Hans Blix in a testimony.

It's no surprise that Saddam may have still had some left and that the UN inspectors did not get them all.

Transfer of SPECIAL AMMUNITION a day before the war began. Saddam Regime always designated CHEMICAL WEAPONS as SPECIAL AMMUNITION.

Speculation / Question: Could this movement of arms represent the centralization of "Special Weapons" before moving them out of the country?

A quick search on the Web shows Iraq delivered chemical weapons with its 130mm and 155mm artillery shells.

Awesome job! I'll say it again. The White House should hire you to hold briefings on these documents along with a Pentagon official. The president should follow up the briefings with a re-cap/address to the nation

That is correct. However this top secret memo seems to indicate a huge quantity of the SPECIAL AMMUNITION to be transfer from one depot to other depots.

Regardless of the quantity, if as we think that these SPECIAL AMMUNITION shells are CHEMICAL WEAPONS it is yet another proof that Saddam did not destroy his WMD arsenal and thus President Bush did not lie to get us into the war, and we had all the right to remove Saddam regime from power.

Superb work!

Keep it up!

BTW, are you forwarding on your translations to CIA/DIA? If not, you absolutely should.
