Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents
Thanks for the ping and the excellent work you are doing re organizing jveritas great translations.
Just playing devil's advocate, I think I remembered reading that Iraqi generals, even when the war was afoot, kept waiting for and expecting chemical weapons were going to be deployed to them.
I know I heard an interview with an Iraqi soldier of some rank involved in the defense of Baghdad who said that his unit didn't have chemical weapons, but that he was told the unit next to him did.
It's possible that to get his soldiers to stand in place, Saddam was issuing orders about non-existent weapons to convince his troops and their commanders that the WMD were on the way and would give them the ability to fight the Americans.
While I continue to believe that jveritas is finding evidence of the WMD and I continue to believe it will ultimately point east to Syria, I think it's necessary for the purpose of debate to look at these documents from the POV that there were no WMD (ie. if he didn't have WMD, why did he produce documents saying he did).
