2001 Iraqi Document: Saddam Approved the Re-Use of Nuclear Equipments (Important Translation).
Pentagon/FMSO website for Iraq Pre-war documents http://70.168.46.200/ ^ | October 24 2006 | jveritas

In what is so far the most important evidence of Saddam personal involvement in re-building Iraq nuclear program , document CMPC-2003-012331.pdf dated January 2001 indicates that during a meeting between Saddam and the Staff of the Iraqi Atomic Energy Organization Saddam was asked by the Organization Staff to give his permission for re-using the infamous “ Degussa Vacuum furnaces ” that were used in the previous and prohibited Iraq nuclear program. These furnaces can be used to melt uranium and other nuclear related activities.

The Degussa Vacuum furnaces were supplied to Iraq in the 1980’s by a German firm (Degussa AG based in Frankfurt Germany) and these furnaces later on became the subject of investigations of the German firm in the early 1990’s where the company claimed that they did not know that Iraq would have used them in its nuclear program. The New York Times had an article in 1998 titled “An Iraqi Defector Warns of Iraq's Nuclear Weapons Research” where the Degussa furnaces were mentioned as part of “previous” Iraq nuclear program and the controversy surrounding the sale of these furnaces and the investigations later on(link: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~sanders/214/other/news/iraqi_defector.html ). The irony is that this is not only a New York Times article but also it was written by JUDITH MILLER and JAMES RISEN once of the worst accusers (liars) that the Bush administration lied about Iraq WMD.

Also the Degussa furnaces supplied to Iraq were mentioned in articles written by David Albright (An American nuclear scientist) explaining how the Degussa furnaces were used in the “previous” Iraqi nuclear program. Mr. Albright wrote the article to Bulletin of Atomic Scientists” back in 1992-1993 and you find the links about these articles ( http://www.thebulletin.org/article.php?art_ofn=apr92albright , http://www.thebulletin.org/article.php?art_ofn=dec93albrighta> ).

Again this document carries a lot of importance since it proves without any doubt that Saddam was directly involved with his nuclear scientists to re-build their nuclear program. President Bush in a speech dated October 7 2002 mentioned that Saddam has held numerous meetings with his nuclear Scientists and this quote from President Bush speech: The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his "nuclear mujahideen" -- his nuclear holy warriors (Link: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021007-8.html ).

The translation will include memos. The first one is from Senior Deputy Minister of Iraq Military Industrialization Committee to the Chairman of Iraq Atomic Energy Organization asking him to allocate the Degussa Vacuum furnaces, the second memo a reply from Iraq Atomic Energy Organization saying that they will do so and that they got the approval of Saddam Hussein to re-use these equipments.

The complete picture of Saddam's Iraq is clearly in focus now for anyone who cares to look.

David Kay: "It was absolutely prudent to go to war. The system was collapsing, Iraq was a country with desire to develop WMDs, and it was attracting terrorists like flies to honey."

"...the company claimed that they did not know that Iraq would have used them in its nuclear program."

What else did they think he'd do with something like that? Of course they knew what it was for.

"The furnaces do not have the seal of the Agency but it was among the equipments of the previous program that were included in the list prepared by the agency."

So the IAEA knew the furnaces were there and the intention of the previous program. Why wouldn't they have a seal? I know absolutely nothing about these furnaces - how big they are or how difficult to transport. Why were they left in Iraq with no seal?

I would like to contact David Kay and Charles Duffler who were in charge of the Iraq Survey group that looked at Iraq WMD after the toppling of Saddam regime. I would like to get their opinions on some of the documents that was found so far concerning Saddam WMD. If anyone have their contacts please let me know.

Very interesting. Regarding this:

The Degussa Vacuum furnaces were supplied to Iraq in the 1980’s by a German firm (Degussa AG based in Frankfurt Germany)

At the time Saddam handed his last-minute "compliance" to the UN in late 2002, there were some articles (NYT was one place I believe) about how he seemed to be using the disclosures to blackmail certain German companies, or something to that effect. I have the articles somewhere but will need to dig them up.

These furnaces we mentioned in some IAEA documents as prohibited to be used. May be the Iraqis were not honest about the seal of IAEA or someone may have removed it, I read some other documents where there were complaint by the UN or even by the Iraqi Monitoring Directorate (local Iraqi agency) about the removal of UN inspector seals from equipments.

"The complete picture of Saddam's Iraq is clearly in focus now for anyone who cares to look."

But there's the rub. So few "care to look." This should be headline material for all the networks, but it doesn't even get a mention, let alone a headline.

Doesn't matter how much proof there is, the loonies will never believe that Iraq had even the intent of developing WMD, let alone actually had them at any time.

I actually had one lady the other day tell me that the UN sanctions against Iraq said that Saddam didn't have any WMD. I asked her if she knew what UN sanctions were, and she said yes, but wouldn't describe what she thought they were.

She also said that WE gave Saddam the weapons he used on the Kurds. I pointed out to her that, no matter where he got them, his use of the weapons on the Kurds proved he had WMD. Her response? "No it doesn't!"

They're looney, I tell ya.
