Another article, maybe the US press will report the story one day.

The real story is how friendly Assad was with Dianne Sawyer, isn’t it?

And people say he didn’t have any. Now they’ve been proven wrong, and the program is still progressing. Maybe Israel got rid of a part of it?

As Loftus summarized, “The gist of the new evidence is this: Roughly one-quarter of Saddam’s WMD was destroyed under UN pressure during the early to mid 1990s. Saddam sold approximately another quarter of his weapons stockpile to his Arab neighbors during the mid-to-late-1990’s. The Russians insisted on removing another quarter in the last few months before the war. The last remaining WMD, the contents of Saddam’s nuclear weapons labs, were still inside Iraq on the day when the coalition forces arrived in 2003. His nuclear weapons equipment was hidden in enormous underwater warehouses beneath the Euphrates River. Saddam’s entire nuclear inventory was later stolen from these warehouses right out from under the Americans’ noses.”


A very clear and concise summary if true.

I don’t know if I was dreaming or not but I think I remember when the invasion first started seeing pictures of trucks leaving Iraq. Does anyone remember this happening. It was the only time I saw or heard anything about the trucks until now.

There was a lengthy video of these trucks on the History Channel several years ago. Some freepers besides me have stated they’ve seen these shots of both the underground labs and the trucks, filmed with night vision cameras as they leftr Iraq and went into Syria.

That’s it - I saw those pictures. Why haven’t FOX or some conservative group brought these pic to light rather than have the dems scream for all these years no WMDs? Saddam certainly wasn’t moving bananas in the middle of the night.

That is the most disturbing analysis of the September Israeli raid that I have read to date, and it sure sounds plausible to me. I’ve developed a pretty fine BS filter on these things over the years, and this one scares the living hell out of me.

This also demonstrates that the views from overseas on these issues are frequently much, much different from Washington’s, and are certainly well worth considering.

I have no doubt that the NYT will report this, but only after the Iranians have turned Tel Aviv into a glowing crater...and even then, the NYT will only cover the story in the context of blaming Bush for NOT having talked the Iranians out of committing genocide.

I don’t know. I was impressed by the way the Israelis handled this story. Israel wasn’t in your face about their activities in Syria. And Israel’s other Arab neighbors repaid Israel’s tact by looking the other way.

The Israelis were much less discreet about their activities after they bombed the Iraqis nuclear a couple decades back. I’ve read they felt they made a mistake by trumpeting their triumph.

Both Iran and the USA have taken note of the way the Israelis handled the Syrian nuclear facility.

I’ve tried to find the show on the history channel and can’t and don’t know how to make waves. It’s out there somewhere and was the most powerful documentary I’ve ever seen. And it just disappeared. Troubling.

That’s very strange. Maybe someone on FR will help find it. It would be something I would like Reid, Pelosi and the gang to explain away. Oh, they would take the bananas explanation.

Well for starters we can send it to our address books and ask them to send it on. The FOX News and ask them to find out what was going on there and why weren’t the pics shown more and then go on from there - maybe republican politicians or pundits.

Has anyone seen these enormous underwater warehouses? Where along the Euphrates were they located? If they exist, why haven’t there been pictures or film of them?

Good plan. Let’s see what we can “unearth”.
