IRAQ- some links to terror

Anyone who is able to type "iraqwatch.org" into a browser will arrive at the Saddam military weapons data base compiled by the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, so often quoted back in the years of U.S.-Soviet nuclear tensions. The Iraq Watch data base has enough history and documentation on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction to occupy a horrified reader for days.

You mention Ramadam in your message regarding his report on Saddam's labs -- here is a link to a story titled "West Nile Mystery" that appeared in New Yorker in 1999 by Robert Preston (remember "The Hot Zone"?). The article relays ramadan's story... worth the read. According to the story, Saddam's remake of the West Nile Virus causes a 97% fatality rate.

Just the Facts...
 
Questions on DOCEX (Stephen Hayes documents found in Iraq)
 
Saddam's secrets (WMD's)--Rick Moran reviews all the previous information to the effect that Saddam transported his WMD’s to Syria before the war, information now confirmed by Iraqi General Sada, author, Saddam’s Secrets. He does a wonderful job of putting it all together. I’d add just one thing: the aborted post-invasion chemical attack on Jordan where that government said the chemicals for the attack had been transported to Jordan from Syria.  Macsmind reminds us that Senator Rockefeller made his trip to Damascus just prior to the reported transshipment of WMDs, a trip in which he has admitted he warned Assad that the invasion  of Iraq was certain.

Saddam's WMD's: The Syrian Connection-- The New York Sun is doing yeoman’s work in explaining why the latest group-think—that Saddam Hussein had no proscribed WMD—may be very wrong. Ha’aretz has lent its support, reporting that Israeli officials believe “[m]aterial was transferred to Syria in the dark of the night, on the very eve of the war,” and “[t]he Americans are the ones who are making the mistake now." That is also the view of retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. James Clapper, who headed the National Imagery and Mapping Agency.

Bush had good reason to believe there were WMD in Iraq --If you’ll take a look at the websites, below, you’ll see that Iraq DID have WMD’s, but the main stream media doesn’t want to report it.

I know, it doesn't fit the template so it doesn't get reported. (sigh)
 
Captain's Quarters: Case Closed

Captain’s Quarters has a translation of an Iraqi document showing that Saddam Hussein recruited suicide bombers to attack American interests.

Prediction: this will have no effect on the “Bush lied, millions died!” crowd, who are in the grip of a derangement so severe that no facts or documents will ever have an impact.  Yes, and there were WMDs.    link: 32 comments

You're referring to the work by Laura Mylroie, which traces Saddam's involvment in a secret war against the US since the end of the first Gulf War?

'The Iraqi Regime Has Transported The Chemical And Biological Weapons'

CQ reader Sapper sends along a new document from the captured files of the Saddam Hussein regime, one that had just been released on Friday, that has notations indicating where WMD stockpiles might be found. The information on the memo has not been translated but the notations themselves sound breathtaking: In case the DoD website gets slow, I've also uploaded the document to my server here.   Comments (39)

Liars--A bigger nightmare for the MSM is the horrific torture/murder of those two US servicemen. They're terrified it will enrage Americans to the point where dem's 'get out of Iraq now' won't work with voters.
 
500 Sarin, Mustard Gas Shells Confirmed in Iraq

Oh, by the way ... there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq: Document Details WMD Recovered In Iraq, Santorum Says.

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) announced Wednesday the finding of over 500 munitions or weapons of mass destruction, specifically “sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles,” in Iraq.

Reading from unclassified portions of a document developed by the U.S. intelligence community, Santorum said, “Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.”

According to Santorum, “That means in addition to the 500, there are filled and unfilled munitions still believed to exist within the country.”

Reading from the document, Santorum added, “Pre-Gulf War Iraqi chemical weapons could be sold on the Black Market. Use of these weapons by terrorist or insurgent groups would have implications for coalition forces in Iraq. The possibility of use outside of Iraq cannot be ruled out. The most likely munitions remaining are sarin- and mustard-filled projectiles. And I underscore filled.”

UPDATE at 6/21/06 5:11:27 pm:

Here’s the actual declassified document (PDF, 132K).

What boggles my mind is how some many got away with ignoring key messages in the Kay report

We have discovered dozens of WMD-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations during the inspections that began in late 2002.


and the more definitive Duelfer report .

Three of the most important items of the key findings of the Duelfer report (in 2004!):

Of course, in conjunction with leftist reporter RON SUSKINDS newly released book revealing a thwarted but very real Al Qaeda plot to release Sarin gas in the NYC subway, this is a very, very, VERY significant development,

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

“We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.

It's long been widely rumored that Russian experts helped move the Iraqi WMDs to . . .

***scroll for updates...FoxNews.com coverage***

Emerging buzz seems to be focused on why it took so long to release info about 500 chemical-weapons shells found in Iraq. Allah's got video of Santorum and chock full of links.

Austin Bay predicts conspiracy-mongering. Ed Morrissey remembers a sarin gas shell discovery in May 2004. Ed theorizes:

Glenn Reynolds has the press conference transcript with Santorum and Hoekstra.

Allah will have video/analysis of anything interesting from Santorum's appearance tonight on Hannity and Colmes.

Power Line weighs in. John Hinderaker:

WMD Found In Iraq: Text Of Rick Santorum Interview From Hugh Hewitt Show

From Radio Blogger:
--Go read the whole thing.
--Now the media thus far, I've seen it reported on Fox News, the website Freerepublic.com has got a number of threads running on it, but there is nothing about your announcement in the Washington Post or the New York Times as of three minutes ago. Are you surprised?

RS: Unfortunately not.
 
The Idiot Dialectic--I've been watching the liberal talking heads on several shows this evening spin the discovery of 500 Chemical warheads in Iraq.
 
Don't debate or educate. Look them in their eyes and call them liars.

UPDATE VI: Rick at The Real Ugly American has an update with an explanation of the reason the Bush administration kept this quiet:

General Tom Mcinerney is reporting on Fox Hannity and Colmes right now that that the administration has been keeping this low profile to avoid exposing 3 of the 5 members of the UN Security council; Russia, China, and France. McInerney says these weapons will be traced to these countries, and asserts it is well known that Russia helped Saddam move most of his WMD stockpiles out of Iraq before the war.

We wanted to keep France, Russia, and China from embarrassment? Well, maybe...

UPDATE VII: At 8:46 PM, the first wire report from the mainstream media comes from Fox four hours later... Comments (50) |

"Anyone remember the news about the hundreds of hours of audio tape recorded in Saddam's office and captured by us? Here is a translated comment spoken by Saddam's son-in-law, Hussein Kamel, talking about how Iraq fooled the U.N. inspectors:

"We did not reveal all that we have," he says. "Not the type of weapons, not the volume of the materials we imported, not the volume of the production we told them about, not the volume of use. None of this was correct."

I wrote about it in February, but nothing I've ever shown a liberal has ever been sufficient to be that elusive "smoking gun" they demand.

The problem is that you don' t find a smoking gun until after it's been fired.

And I Quote: "Hundreds of WMDs Found in Iraq"
"The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered..."



"...Reading from a declassified portion of a report by the National Ground Intelligence Center, a Defense Department intelligence unit, Santorum said: "Since 2003, coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent. Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist."(source)

Read declassified portion of the NGIC report

CNN hasn't seemed to have picked up the story yet (their lead story of course is "Marines file murder charges"), but Kim Jong Il's "North Korea Times" took and interesting spin...
