Saddam Regime Document CMPC-2003-016083 dated in 2001 contains a series of Top Secret memos that address the production of Nerve Gas Detectors which was prohibited by the United Nations resolutions concerning Iraq according to the document itself. The importance of the production of the Nerve Gas Detector is shown by the top secret letters exchange between the Presidential Office and the head of the Iraqi Military Industrialization Commission (M.I.C). This documents is yet another indication that Saddam Regime never stopped his WMD programs, and the nerve Gas Detector which some can see it a defensive in nature is not to be considered so when it comes to Saddam Regime, everything has an offensive and aggressive use.

End of translation of page 5.
Now on page 71 of the document there is a section that mentions that the production of Nerve Gas Detectors is PROHIBITED
Beginning of Partial Translation of page 71
Based on what is in the letter of the respected Presidential Secretariat (Top Secret) aa/4 on 22/1/2001 followed by the Top Secret letter of (M.I.C) 2/4/44 on 13/1/2001 and after review of the technical report the commission recommend the following:
1. Consider it a work that reach level of Invention Works because it replace the need that occur to the Russian equipment that has an expired efficiency and that exist in the storages of the Chemical Class, and it is a PROHIBITED EQUIPMENT where the price of the effective material in it can reach 51,000 Dollars
End of partial translation of page 71.
Another good catch.
Thanks for you hard work.
(I heard you live on the radio.)
Production of Prohibited Equipments related to WMD.

Bump.
Thanks yet again. Your efforts, continue to build up the growing case against Saddam. They day will come when many understand he never stopped pursuing wmd programs.
And that we had all the right to remove his terrorist regime after 9/11.
A Jveritas translation related to Nerve agent detectors.
"it is a PROHIBITED EQUIPMENT where the price of the effective material in it can reach 51,000 Dollars
1) Are they suggesting that it is PROHIBITED EQUIPMENT because the cost is prohibited?
2) It appears that to test the detectors they have to actually HAVE nerve agents.
Please get jveritas in front of the Cameras daily seeing he is doing what the US government should be spending its money and time on rather than some other useless project!
Thank you in advance.

ASA Vet thanks for the ping, and jveritus, thanks for more outstanding translation.
We are forcing them to take notice. We are all indebted to you for your work,
LOL :)...
Thank you very much, just doing my little duty here.

That was my immediate thought, too. How can you test your Nerve Agent detectors if you don't have Nerve Agents to test them with?

Thanks for the clarification jveritas. I just wanted to make sure and to explore all possibilities for the usage of the word.
Am I correct in understanding that they had to have banned nerve agents to test the equipment?
More good work jveritas, you've been doing great on the radio programs too.

Thanks for the ping.
Jveritas keeps weaving the trap bigger and bigger for Saddam and his liberal friends in America.
Thank you jazusamo.
Exactly true.
I think you are 100% correct.
A little digging around on the net to see exactly what "expired efficiency" had to do with a Russian nerve agent detector.
"the Czechs indicated that they had to bury about 260 expired GSP-11 indicator charges out of the 350 sent to the Gulf. Other veterans indicated they did not trust the indicator charges because they had been stored in the heat and there was no way to check their condition."
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/gulfwar/cwagents/cwpaper1.htm
So it looks like the Iraqis were replacing the Russian made GSP-11 chemical detector.
I wish we could have an annual freeper award; you would surely win. Hands down. Thanks again so much, jveritas, for all your hard work.
I've sent this to my e-mail and will send to my Senators with a little note.
Probably, but most nerve agents are not that difficult to make in small amounts.
I also don't understand why the detectors would be banned. Many nations, particular the Germans and Poles, have CBW detection gear, but do not have any CBW weapons of their own.
We have them as well, and no longer have the weapons themselves.
Unless these aren't detectors in the sense that I'm thinking of, as much as sensors required to monitor and control the production of nerve gas and/or other CBW agents.
thanks ping
another outstanding job. look for anything about filters in their armored vehicles... the proof that the soviets planned to use Bio/Chem weapons was that all their tracks had filters designed to filter out THEIR OWN STUFF more than anything else.
Make sure you let us know when you are going to be on a talk show.
Is it possible that these detectors were aimed at being ready should Iran develop and use nerve gas against Saddam's regime? Yes ...
Anything is possible. Is it probable? No.
JV! Once again I bow before you in Gratitude! Thank you for what you are doing!
Could you explain why it is not probable? Every possibility must be explored. Is there a reason that you gave a firm NO?
Thank you for all your hard work in sifting through and translating Saddam regime documents and then posting those translations here on FR for all to read. God Bless you.
Thank you very much for all your support. The important thing is to have the truth out about these documents.
Thank you Peach :)
In Saddam world, there is nothing for defensive purposes, it is only for aggression.
Do you believe that Saddam would have waited for the Iranians to ave Chemical Weapons and he does not? He understand very well that Chemical Weapons are what saved his regime in the Iraq-Iran war, and that is why he was always obsessed in having them.
I will be looking for that, thanks for the tip.
I don't disagree that Saddam was always trying to build up his weaponry and capabilities. Would you concede that he might also be looking at how he would respond if Iram used nerve gas and how he might protect his forces in such a scenario?
bump
Very Interesting!!!
So Why have nerve gas detectors?
Well almost immediately The best reason I can think of is to be able to check for leaks in your nerve gas supplies, you really don't want to go around checking for nerve gas leaks in ammo using the sniff test and ye olde Mark 1 nose.
Especially if these were purchased in volume.
Saddam would never put himself in a situation of defense only with Iran, no way. If he thinks the Iranians were working on Chemical Weapons then he is going to have his as well.
BTW, please keep up the tremendous work,jveritas. America truly needs what you are doing.
Another great find! Thanks for your hard work!
That it is, what you are doing is absolutely priceless. Thank you!
jveritas strikes again!
