I for 2!
I wonder, for some who are so concerned about "verification" = considering the very great contribution of Mr Truth - jveritas - already, =that stands on it's own -
jveritas has proven himself - let's not shoot the messenger.
Oops, I meant December 2002.
I can understand what a shower vehicle does but what does a "surface" vehicle do?
See post #11/...
Again, we thank you for your time jveritas.
eyespysomething, please add me to this pinglist.
Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work!
remember the panel trucks we found that had all the requisites for a portable chem lab - they were scrubbed clean with bleach. Remember?
These were not underground and could move quickly from one place to another - ergo, "surface"
BUT, said the libRats and their mouthpieces, the MSM, nothing supicious there...
Thank you for the time and effort you're giving to translating these doc's.
Proving once more how varied and broad are the talents of FReepers.
thanks.

According to a report in the Washington Post, Al-Qadissiya served as the command post for the 101st Airborne, prior to the division's movement north. The site was scheduled to be the headquarters for the Mobile Exploitation Team/75th Exploitation Task Force, the unit searching for weapons of mass destruction, but it was burned and looted in late April 2003.

great find!!
Outstanding work, as usual. Thanks.
GOD bless you sir!

God bless you cousin, keep up the good work.
Thank you very much. God bless our brave troops.
this is the first time i've read one of his translations--i didn't even realize he had done the translation himself until he told me.
the reason for asking about verification, is that i like to know specifics before i say to someone that it has been proven that Saddam had wmd when the US armed forces were sent in.
i assume that saddam had all sorts of evil weapons, and that he probably got them out of the country or buried them, but it's always helpful to know where a document comes from.
i also think, that if i were saddam, and i was concerned with someone finding out about my wmd, i might call my chemical warfare unit something else, like "Iraqi humanitarian aid platoon".
I want to add my thanks for the work you are doing...it is vital that we know what happened...
I am one that believes he had them...and sent them away before we got there.
Of course, when you have Senators going to all of the neighoring countries and warning them of an attack BEFORE Bush has even called for one...it gave Saddam, Russia, France...plenty of time to get them out of the country.
Sounds defensive.
