An upcoming joint US-Israel report on the September 6 IAF strike on a Syrian facility will claim that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein transferred weapons of mass destruction to the country, Channel 2 stated Monday.

Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.

WRT to evidence: There were some rumors at the time of the strike into Syria that it included some special forces (whose? dunno. don’t care) on the ground before/during/after the strike and that samples (or maybe some physical devices?) were collected.

No idea whether that’s true. But’s it’s entertaining. :-)

That was the rumor.

I’m looking forward to what they actually reveal in this report, though it probably won’t be the whole story.

A reprise....

The Democrats LIED about WMD's in Iraq

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1135749/posts
They lie too that there were no links between Saddam and Osama bin Laden.

Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper “Al-Nasiriya” carried a column headlined, “American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin.” (July 21, 2001)

In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US “with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House.”

The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden “will strike America on the arm that is already hurting,” and that the US “will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs” – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, “New York, New York”.

The msm will have no choice but to report the story.

Will they? Really?

And it makes no difference whether it is the Republican Presidential candidate or the VP candidate who leads on the issue. The MSM doesn't have to report it.

So, they won't. At least, not before Page 13-A...

So now we have (1) this report, plus Death to America and the work of jveritas on the removal of the WMD to Syria; (2) the forged-memo report in Kenneth Timmerman's Shadow Warriors; (3) the recent report that Saddam confessed lying about the WMD to scare Iran.

So does anyone really know what time it is?

Further question: Will any of this have any effect whatsoever on the morons who are still pasting "Bush Lied / People Died" stickers all over my neighborhood?

Have you talked to any history professors lately? Believe me, too many history books have already been written.

The the next generation of historians can make names for themselves by rediscovering the truth or correcting the record. The requires the profession be open to unbiased inquiry. We shall see.

Document: Iraqi Dissident Talks About WMD Moved to Syria (Translation)

Pentagon/FMSO website Iraqi Pre-War documents ^ | July 25 2006 | jveritas

Posted on 07/25/2006 8:40:08 AM PDT by jveritas

Edited on 07/25/2006 9:20:12 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]

Document http://70.168.46.200/Released/07-24-06/ISGQ-2005-00022470.pdf that was written sometimes after the Iraq war talks about an Iraqi dissident named “Abu Abdallah” who says that Iraqi WMD were moved to Syria before the war on the month of 10 Mouharam (Islamic calendar) i.e. March 10. The document was apparently reviewed by the Department of Defense as you the word D.O.D (in Latin letters) written on the side of the document.

Beginning of the translation http://70.168.46.200/Released/07-24-06/ISGQ-2005-00022470.pdf

Dear Respected Sir

Warm salute… and then

To review with regards and please and return the document to Mrs. Mona after the translation with thanks.

ubject: We have information about the location of the Weapons of Mass Destruction

In the day of 10 Mouharam before the coalition forces started the war on Iraq, 50 trucks for land transportation entered Syria on an intermittent convoy. I met some of the drivers and they did not know what they carried in these trucks. These trucks were loaded from an unknown location in Baghdad and was brought to the drivers and the Iraqi Intelligence was with them. Each time they crossed a certain distance, the Iraqi Intelligence stopped them and asked them what are they carrying and their answer was we do not know. And when these trucks arrived to Syria in the area of Deir Al Zour the drivers were taken out of their trucks and the Syrian Intelligence ride instead. These trucks were entered into large warehouses and when these trucks were emptied it was given back to the Iraqi drivers. And they were given a reward worth of 200 dollars for the safety of arrival. One of the drivers mentioned to me that this was second time they carry these secrets loads and the first time was 1 Mouharam.

I have a friend in Syria who works in a Syrian company as partner with a Syrian merchant. This person is an Iraqi ex-Consul in the Iraqi embassies and he resigned from the diplomatic circle and he has strong connection with the Iraqi Embassy in Syria and he knows all the Iraqi Intelligence and those knows that I work for the Iraqi opposition in Syria. I was visiting him daily during this period to find out the important news. When the trucks entered Syria I went to him and told him that Iraqi Weapons entered Syria so he said to me who told you that and I said to him I knew from my sources, and he told me to keep this confidential and not tell anyone because it indeed entered.

It IS a big thing and always has been - though unbeknownst to the public and denied by the drive-by Media to invalidate whatever Bush did.

We have GPS co-ordinates of the locations (Syria and Bekaa Valley in Lebanon) and have had them “forever” but no excuse to do anything about it.

No yet, but possibly sooner than later. Very soon if we listen to the Russian rumors being circulated.

Hey Azeem, we were in at the same time...I was a KC-135 crew chief at Wurtsmith and Plattsburgh, served from ‘89-’94. Thanks for serving, brother.

What was wrong with Damien? We had a bird called “Spook 50” that was so called because of all the “spooky” writeups it used to generate.

Because he would then have had to do something abour Syria and Lebanon, Russia and by proxy Iran. Too big a mouthful at that stage.

As for the Iraqis not telling anyone, they did repeatedly but the Media was not listening an dBush already knew, so nobody listened.
