How will the drive-by leftist media respond to the following: "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."
What percentile of Saddam's WMD are in Syria right now?

MAY 3, 2000 Wednesday : (CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING : THREE UN OFFICIALS - HANS VON SPONECK, DENIS HALLIDAY & SCOTT RITTER CALL FOR THE LIFTING OF SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAQ - US REPRESENTATIVES DENNIS KUCINICH, JOHN CONYERS & CYNTHIA MCKINNEY ALSO CALL FOR THE LIFTING OF SANCTIONS) Washington, DC - Three former senior UN officials denounced and called for the lifting of economic sanctions against Iraq at a congressional briefing on Wednesday, May 3.
Former UN Humanitarian Coordinators in Iraq, Hans von Sponeck and Denis Halliday, and former weapons inspector Scott Ritter, called on the US government to abandon its policy economic sanctions against Iraq. Despite their diverse backgrounds, all three agreed that economic sanctions are the principle cause of the humanitarian disaster in Iraq, and dismissed claims that American policy is not to blame. US Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), John Conyers (D-MI) and Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) also called for the lifting of sanctions.
Former UN weapons inspector in Iraq Scott Ritter debunked what he called “the myth” of a threat from Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, which typically cited as a reason for maintaining sanctions. Calling himself "an unlikely ally in this matter," Ritter said that "a lot of the blame for this perception can be laid at my doorstep." But, Ritter said, “the reality is that when you judge Iraq’s current weapons of mass destruction capabilities today, they have none.” ------- Former Senior UN Officials Denounce Iraq Sanctions at Congressional Briefing Press Release American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee May 4, 2000

They demonstrate that Saddam's government possessed mustard gas and anthrax, both considered weapons of mass destruction, in the summer of 2000, during the period in which United Nations weapons inspectors were not present in Iraq.

JULY 6, 2000 : (THIS IS THE DATE ON A DOCUMENT - A LETTER- FROM IRAQI AMBASSADOR TO THE HOLY SEE / TO NIGER , WISSAM AL ZAHAWIE - CONCERNING A PROPOSED URANIUM TRANSACTION THAT WAS LATER FOUND) Italy had [long after the fact] handed over cables from al-Zahawie to the Niger government announcing the trip, and other documents had pointed to his [Iraqi ambassador to the Holy See, Wissam al Zahawie's] presence in Niger. But the inspectors [in January 2003] were particularly interested in a July 6, 2000, document bearing al-Zahawie's signature, concerning a proposed uranium transaction. The inspectors refused to show him the letter, he says, but al-Zahawie was sure he had never written it.
"If they had such a letter, it had to have been a forgery," he says [in 2003]. The tell-tale signs of the forgery were quite obvious, he stresses. [* How would he know if they refused to show it to him?] Diplomatic procedure typically called for official notes between Iraq and other governments to feature a government seal, but they are typically unsigned; correspondence between an ambassador and other dignitaries would be signed but would have no seal. The letter in question had both, the inspectors admitted. [* according to later interview of Zahawie, who may not have been telling the truth] "I realized the forgery when they asked this," al-Zahawie notes. "And when I left, I thought I had told them all there was to know. ----------"Saddam's Niger Point-man Speaks," By HASSAN FATTAH/LONDON, Time, Wednesday October 5, 2003, via hassanfattah.com , Copyright © 2003 Time Inc.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2000 Saturday () NEW YORK (News Agencies) - The Clinton Administration notified Congress that it intends to grant $4 million to the Iraqi opposition, in hopes of toppling Saddam Hussein. U.S. plans to give $4 million to Iraqi opposition
An American official said that after a meeting between Madeleine Albright and Iraqi dissidents in New York on Thursday [Sept 14, 2000] that the U.S. will contribute to fund a newspaper, radio transmitters and other media operations.
An additional $268,000 was given to the Iraqi National Congress for administration. But none of the funding will be used for military action.
Foes of the Iraqi government asked Albright during the meeting to work on tightening international supervision over an Iraqi indirect account, which is used for oil revenue deposits coming from the Oil For Food program. This account, kept in Banque Nationale De Paris, contains $8 to $9 billion, and although Iraq doesn't have full control over the account, the government decides who gets contracts funded by the money.----- "Clinton Administration Grants $4 Million To Iraqi Opposition," News Agencies, Saturday, September 16, 2000

OCTOBER 27, 2000 : (JESSE HELMS & BENJAMIN GILMAN WRITE LETTER TO US SEC OF STATE MADELAINE ALBRIGHT CONCERNING VIOLATIONS OF SANCTIONS ON IRAQ) WASHINGTON (October 27) – U.S. Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman (20th-NY), Chairman of the House International Relations Committee, sent the following letter today to Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright concerning sanctions against Iraq:
October 27, 2000
Dear Madam Secretary:We suspect that you are extremely concerned, as we certainly are, about the increasing number of sanctions-violating flights into Iraq. Needless to say, it is not surprising that these flights have been initiated by Russia and France, both of which are permanent members of the Security Council.
Following the lead of Russia and France, other countries have likewise flown into Iraq. Among these countries are recipients of significant amounts of U.S. foreign aid. This, Madam Secretary, is outrageous.
Since August, Russia has permitted three direct commercial flights to Baghdad, requesting permission for only two of those flights from the U.N. Sanctions Committee. We understand that Russia does not view these flights as sanctions violations.
In your testimony last month before the Foreign Relations Committee, you emphasized that this is not the U.S. position; specifically, you made clear that the United States believes "that these flights need approval, and . . . I think that absent any new kind of consensus, the [Sanctions Committee] will continue . . . to operate under practices of the last 10 years, that these flights require approval, not just notification."
Sanctions are a vital tool in denying Saddam Hussein the funding and supplies necessary for him to pursue weapons of mass destruction. Vigilance is all the more urgent, given the absence of weapons inspectors in Iraq for nearly two years.
Being fully committed, as we are, to ensuring that this despot does not develop the weapons to threaten the United States, our allies, or our interests, we acknowledge that this will be increasingly difficult if Saddam’s neighbors (and our allies and aid recipients) continue to violate the sanctions intended to protect them.
Madam Secretary, two points:1) In your view, absent permission from the sanctions committee, do these flights constitute sanctions violations? AndPlease let us hear from you as to how Section 534 applies to the countries in violation of UN sanctions, and in particular to Russia and Egypt, two flagrant violators who receive billions in U.S. foreign aid.(2) Under the terms of Section 534 of the Foreign Operations Appropriations Act of 2000, do you agree that no assistance should be provided to nations in violation of U.N. sanctions on Iraq?
We urgently need your response, Madam Secretary.Sincerely,
(signed) (signed)

DECEMBER 23, 2000 : (IRAQ : WMD : DEFECTOR SAYS IRAQ RESTARTED ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM TWO YEARS AGO, IN AUGUST 1998) "... SADDAM HUSSEIN has ordered his scientists to resume work on a programme aimed at making a nuclear bomb, a defector warned yesterday. The Iraqi dictator, whose efforts to make atomic weapons were thwarted by United Nations inspectors after the Gulf war in 1991, revived the plans two years ago, the defector said. Scientists who had previously worked on the weapons programme were made to return to their duties in August 1998, four months before Saddam expelled the inspectors.... According to Salman Yassin Zweir, a design engineer who was employed by the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission for 13 years, the instruction came in a document marked "top secret" which identified a research centre on Al-Jadriya Street, Baghdad, as the headqarters of the new operation. .....Zweir was arrested and tortured after refusing to go back to the programme. He escaped to Jordan, where he spoke for the first time last week after being reunited with his wife, who was also tortured, and their two sons, aged seven and six...." - Source : Times of London 12/23/00
Liberals and their media will never take these documents in consideration because it shines a light on the lies that they have been spewing for the last three years regarding Iraq WMD. In regards to Saddam WMD moved to Syria, there is a big potential that it may have occurred.
Thank you for this extensive and very informative research. It gives me better background information when reading the Iraqi documents.
Just amazing and what a major find. Thank you for this look into the real goings on in Iraq. Of course I don't expect the MSM to talk about this.
Wish there was some way to repost your reply so more people would see it. It may now be buried in postings from three days ago and never to seen by others.
Mulling it over I think I'm going to try to run the two original articles and your thoughts through Townhall.com and will give you credit for your analysis.
Thank you for reading and the compliment.
Similarly, the Administration was hammered for not "connecting the dots" prior to 9/11.
If you connect all Saddam's dots, a dangerous picture emerges.
He wrote this little publicized book this year and has had trouble getting the word out (the leftists who accuse the President of lying about Iraq do not seem to want the truth out for some reason)
