The following is a translation of a newly posted Iraqi document done by an unofficial translator. The document, posted in Arabic, is from a Department Of Defense program. It is dated July 13 -- probably 2003.
In it an Iraqi opposition source (a Kurd) working in Syria reports on the movement of Iraqi trucks to Syria before the start of the US invasion of Iraq. It is his understanding that the trucks contained proscribed weapons of mass destruction.
Here is one page from the pdf file showing the original document in Arabic:
(Just kidding of course.)
Iraqi WMD ping.
John Loftus has been talking about this for over 3 years now....
They won't ever waste their time with anything that's true and accurate;)
BUT, now that they're in Syria, where will they go next? Heads up Israel!
Ping WMD Docs.
Nah, this looks just like that scrap of paper that Dan Rather used to nail Bush on the whole Air Guard thing. /sarc off.

"But we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a
lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of
Saddam's WMD programme.

"The man who served as the no. 2 official in Saddam Hussein's air force says
Iraq moved weapons of mass destruction into Syria before the war by loading
the weapons into civilian aircraft in which the passenger seats were removed."

We had to have been monitoring that place constantly, plus our guys on the ground.
Fifty trucks is a long convoy, tough to miss on satelite images.
MAJOR PING
Harris Pollsters Surprised at Poll Results: Half of Americans Believe Iraq had WMDs when U.S. Invaded
Jennifer Harper TN (Jul 26, 2006)
More at Washington Times
Fifty-five percent believe history will give U.S. credit for bringing freedom to Iraq.
A recent Harris Poll has found that half of Americans now say Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded the country in 2003 -- up from 36 percent last year. According to reporter Jennifer Harper, pollsters deemed the increase both "substantial" and "surprising," in light of persistent press reports to the contrary in recent years.
As reported in The Washington Times, other results offered positive feedback on Iraq: "Seventy-two percent of respondents said the Iraqi people are better off now than under Saddam Hussein's regime, and in addition, 64 percent say Saddam had "strong links" with al Qaeda, up from 62 percent in October 2004. Fifty-five percent said that "history will give the U.S. credit for bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq."
Also, notes Harper, "41 percent say the war has reduced the threat of another major terrorist attack in the United States, a sentiment also unchanged in the past two years." / end excerpt
Are these the same documents you translated?
It will be deinied to the end.
I can't tell if you are being facetious or not. In case you're not:
CIA can't rule out WMD move to Syria - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - April 27, 2005
"Based on the evidence available at present, ISG judged that it was unlikely that an official transfer of WMD material from Iraq to Syria took place," his report stated. "However, ISG was unable to rule out unofficial movement of limited WMD-related materials."
Speculation on WMDs in Syria was fueled by the fact that satellite images picked up long lines of trucks waiting to cross the border into Syria before the coalition launched the invasion.

Even with this the media and left has spun the issue into oblivion. The administration shows no signs of revisiting the issue. I wish it was otherwise.
Link fixed.....
