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.

Maybe Sean Hannity will pick these up, finally, and knowing he is a lurker hopefully he has noticed how important they are. His cartoon sidekick, Alan Colmes, should really go nuts over these obviously faked(sarq) documents.

From the post #160 above:

• Chemical Ali was convinced Iraq no longer had WMD, but many colleagues never stopped believing in them.

122mm rockets, 20000m.

122mm howitzer, 15,300m.

Could have been brought to Baghdad to be better guarded by the Special Republican Guard. Or, brought in for the gotterdammerung that didn't happen. Saddam wouldn't have worried over much about collateral damage in Shiite neighborhoods.

All our guys were in MOPP gear for weeks. Must have been some reason for that.

I found these two articles and in my quick skimming through them I don't see any talk between the Russians and Saddam about the US not striking until the troops were in a certain place. Even if they thought that, they were still getting rid of all the WMD and the PALACE FINERY well in advance.

I know there is no mention in the documents that jveritas has translated either about the US troops not invading until they were in a certain position. The one document that jveritas translated in regards to the Russians had to do with them selling Mig 29 parts to Iraq.

BELOW FROM THE TWO ARTICLES.

"In December 2002, Russia’s Middle East envoy, Yevgeny Primakov (former Russian Intelligence Chief), flew to Baghdad under the front of making one last chance for peace with the dictator. As soon as his plane landed, it was allegedly loaded with “sensitive materials” and flown directly to Belarus. People speculate as to whether or not it was WMD, WMD equipment, documents, people, or things the Russians didn’t want the US to get their hands on, but in any event…the plane was loaded with things the US wanted. There is no doubt that the Russians did send GPS jammers to confuse American satellite-guided bombs, night vision goggles, special anti-tank missiles, and Russian advisors.

FROM HERE; In Search of Saddam Hussein’s WMD: The Russian Connection Part 2 of 5

Many of the Russian-made weapons procured through Syria's front companies-like SES International-had come from Belarus. After the fall of Saddam's regime, it was found that many of the senior leaders who had fled went to Syria and Belarus (sometimes in that order). If one asks, "What happened to all that WMD?" Then a finger can be pointed towards the former Soviet Republic at the very least for enabling the former leaders of Saddam's regime to escape and orchestrate an insurgency, clearly for removal of "sensitive items" from Saddam's regime, and very likely for accepting Saddam's WMD, WMD equipment, documents, and people.

Here it is. The info that Saddam got from the Russians was that we would not attack until troops were in place in Turkey. Because that hadn't happened, Saddam did not expect the attack to come when it came.

There's also this:

By telling Saddam that the main attack on Baghdad would not begin until the Army's 4th Infantry Division arrived around April 15, the Russians reinforced an impression that US commanders were trying to create to catch the Iraqis by surprise.

The attack on Baghdad began well before the 4th Infantry arrived, and the Saddam regime collapsed quickly.

Both stories are in among the PreWarDocs, though they are not documents translated by jveritas.
