I'm sorry to say that to the "Bush-lied" crowd satallite pictures of trucks would be...just trucks.

We did. Colin Powell showed the convoys and the Aircraft manifests. And they still didn't believe him.

What bothered me was why after leaving Iraq, all these caravans suddenly disappeared. We have no intel on them. That is why I believe that we were working with Russia to get the WMD to Russia where it was quietly destroyed.

Neither Russia nor us want loose WMD floating around the middle east. Russia saves face because most of it was probably theirs, we save face because there are no RATS running around screaming that Al Queada has WMD and it is Bush's fault, and Bush saves face because he knew he was winning Ohio and he could play the WMD card whenever he wanted to.

Those were posted on FR when Colin Powell was presenting them at the UN. A few freepers did screen captures.

I haven't even tried to find that thread.

Matter of fact, it was the same thread where Blix was 'outed' for not including some unmanned aircraft that was found in Iraq but he intentionally removed it fromt thre report.

That thread had pictures (screen captures) of that aircraft.

This is a posting, from today, over at Powerline.com:

WMD Shipments to Syria Described This is an unofficial translation of Document Number ISGQ-2005-00022470, released as part of Project Harmony. It is a memo dated July 13, probably 2003; the author is an Iraqi opposition source located in Syria.

Subject: we have information about the location of Mass Destruction Weapons

On Moharram 10th (Arabic calendar), prior to US/allied invasion to Iraq, fifty (50) Iraqi trucks entered Syria as convoys (or groups), I met some the drivers of those trucks, they got no idea about the content of their trucks.

The loads basically came from some where in Baghdad, Iraqi intelligence were escorting the loads. During their tripe, those truck drivers were stopped and asked frequently by the intelligence officers about whether or not they got any idea about the content of their loads, the divers replied “we have no idea," then the officers would say “thank you."

Upon their arrival to Deayr Ezoor city/ Syria, the drivers were ordered to get down, elements from Syrian intelligence got into the trucks, they took the trucks to big barracks for downloading.

After that; Iraqi drivers got their trucks back, they got $200 as a reward. The drivers told me that it was their second time to bring such secret shipment; the first shipment was Moharram 1st.

I have a friend in Syria working in Syrian company, the man has ½ of the company, and the other ½ belongs to a Syrian businessman.

This Iraqi person, a former counselor at Iraqi embassies, has strong connections with Iraqi embassy in Syria, he knows all Iraqi intelligence men there, and he has no idea that I am working with the Iraqi opposition in Syria.

I used to visit him daily during that period to listen to the important news. When the trucks arrived to Syria, I visited him, told him “Iraqi weapons got inside Syria," he replied “who told you." I said “I have my own resources," he replied “don’t tell any one about that because actually it is inside."

Based on this and a number of other reports, it seems likely that some, at least, of Iraq's WMDs were shipped to Syria shortly before the war started in 2003.

I thought it was interesting.

If pictures we have of this, then they are still most likely classified.
