I'm posting the list of links that I've accumulated over the past month or so to my homepage on Free Republic, so that they can be used to fight the liberal falsification that there were no WMD's in Iraq. I've provided links here that are particularly related to the 500 munitions found in Iraq since the invasion, and the declassified document that proves that they have been found.
I apologize that they are unorganized.
Please use the links to fight the lies.
Please note that there are links to some speculation, and opinion, that should be used as a tool to mine more sources of positive information.
If you have other links that you feel are important, please post them here.
I have also compiled a list of links that tie Saddam terrorists, including Al-Queda, and links to good news in Iraq that I will post at another time.
In the meantime, the links are here http://www.freerepublic.com/~xmission/

Thanks, xmission. You have freepmail.
I'll search for it. It's here on FR right?
Why doesn't President Bush bring up any of those stories instead of continuing to use the "our intelligence turned out to be wrong" line?
Thanks. Good stuff
I'm dumbfounded.
Even our conservative talk show hosts that know about this information (Sean Hannity for instance) sit without even mentioning it when someone on their show says "there were no WMDs".
It is unbelievable that this isn't shouted from the rooftops by republicans.
I've been asking myself that for a long time now. I just don't get it.

It didn't look like you had the links to the ISSA reports on Iraqi WMD listed, check out posts 80-85 here;
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1323498/posts?page=85#80
If you want to look over the ISSA reports yourself the public ones are here;

The public ISSA reports on Libya are here;
http://128.121.186.47/ISSA/reports/Libya/index.htm
I don't think that very many people have read these reports.
Yes, just do a search on Threat Matrix and there are several links. I think they start a new one when there over 5000 comments. It is a real eye opener.
You're welcome. Use it to prove that we were right in going into Iraq.
Wouldn't it be great if every time that the libs involved in speaking for the surrender resolution mockery in the house the last few days, who said that there were no WMDs, was publicly given a copy of the declassifed document by the republicans, and was told "Here's a copy of the declassified document that says that over 500 shells, each capable of killing over 3000 people, for a potential total death of about 1.5 million people, have been found in Iraq since the invasion"

Thanks very much. I'll check these out.
thanks - holding a space
Yeah, it burns me up too. We took out yellowcake and enriched uranium, parts and plans for centrifuges for further enrichment, plans and tech info (remember when the nyt squealed that the docent website published them? They got scooped is what pissed them off). We also know that saddam had the intent of going full scale once the sanctions were completly lifted and we knew that the sanctions were all but gutted with half the un security council trading with him and the everybody up to annan corrupted. We also knew that he hated the US and threatened to destroy us on a daily basis.
But GW "rushed" into war on "doctored" intelligence./sarc.
Why can't they get one Republican out there to grab the msm by the lapels and call them liars. Shout it from the rooftops. This is serious shiite.
Neutralized.
Wow. Nice work.

Thanks very much!
The more the better.
I listened to the "First step in retreat" debate again today. I must have heard the liars say there were no WMDs at least 30 times.
(Duncan hunter said this resolution was the first step in retreat BTW)
Dan
Don't forget jveritas' home page.
I thought that I'd included it. Thanks for the heads up.
Dan
Here's the email that I just sent. Please feel free to edit it and send it to any congress person that is currently spreading this mistruth.
I'll also send it to Carol Shea Porter, the other new congressperson who misled the country today.
I am writing to tell you of my disgust that you spoke on the house floor today 2/15/7 during the debate for the resultion #68, and misled the nation.
You stated that there were no WMDs. The link below from the House site proves that over 500 shells filled with degraded mustard and sarin have been found since we entered Iraq. Each shell is capable of killing approximately 3000 people, for a total toll of approximately 1.5 MILLION people.
http://intelligence.house.gov/Media/PDFS/DNILetter.pdf
Below is an excerpt from the "LETTER DATED 27 JANUARY 1999 FROM THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NETHERLANDS AND SLOVENIA TO THE UNITED NATIONS ADDRESSED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL" that can be found here:
http://www.un.org/Depts/unscom/s99-94.htm
"550 Artillery shells filled with Mustard
33. Iraq declared that 550 shells filled with mustard had been "lost" shortly after the Gulf War. To date, no evidence of the missing munitions has been found. Iraq claimed that the chemical warfare agents filled into these weapons would be degraded a long time ago and, therefore, there would be no need for their accounting. However, a dozen mustard-filled shells were recovered at a former CW storage facility in the period 1997-1998. The chemical sampling of these munitions, in April 1998, revealed that the mustard was still of the highest quality. After seven years, the purity of mustard ranged between 94 and 97%. Thus, Iraq has to account for these munitions which would be ready for combat use. The resolution of this specific issue would also increase confidence in accepting Iraq’s other declarations on losses of chemical weapons which it has not been possible to verify."
If you state that there were no WMDs in Iraq again, I will know that you are intentionally stating mis truths, and I will do my best to make sure that everyone in the state knows that you spread falsehoods for political purpose.
I am hoping you are an honest person.
Great post and archive. Keep up the good work. You guys are making history.
I heard someone call into Hannity's show today, and ask why he doesn't bring up the fact that there were WMDs today. Was it one of you?
He said that he gets tired of saying the same thing over and over basically. He didn't mention the 500 shells, I think he only mentioned the fact that we knew they were there before (sorry, my memory is frazled today after listening the the "First step in Surrender Resolution debate" all day).
Probarly the Administrtation is protecting certain individuals or countries.
For example, Russia had a big black market for Soviet military technology after the collaspe of the USSR.
It would be embarrassing to Putin that his country armed Saddam.
A port in Jordan smuggled in counterband chemcials to Saddam’s Regime by Chemical Fran.
It would be embarrassing for the King of Jordan if his security was substandard, corrupted and encourage more smuggling over his borders.
Don’t forget Qaddafi. He just got out of sanctions. He is trying to get away from the bad boy image. Probarly has most of Saddam’s stored WMD’s. He might be giving information to the Brits about known al Queda members. We don’t want Qaddafi assassinated at this critical time.
That is why we classify things.
Maybe to protect the Clinton Administration....
Saddam`s illicit oil trade was no secret to U.S. officials
Saddam Hussein was dead broke, the result of U.N. penalties. Or so it was thought. So where did he find the money to pursue missile technology from North Korea, air defense systems from Belarus and other prohibited military equipment?
The CIA`s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Saddam carried out much of that trade with proceeds from illegal oil sales to Syria, one of three Iraqi neighbors that bought oil from Baghdad in defiance of the United Nations.
Trade with Syria, Jordan and Turkey was the biggest source of illicit funds for Saddam, more so than the much-maligned U.N. oil-for-food program, according to investigations of Saddam`s finances.
Though considered smuggling, most of the trade took place with the knowledge — and sometimes the tacit consent — of the United States and other nations.
With Republican-led congressional committees investigating allegations of oil-for-food corruption, some Democrats are pressing for answers about why the United States did little to stop the smuggling. The issue is among broader questions these lawmakers have about what U.S. officials knew about Saddam`s overall illicit finances.
“I am determined to see to it that our own government`s failures and oversights or mistaken judgments and decisions should also be exposed,” said Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif.
Some Republicans are promising to hold hearings on the matter next year.
“I believe the smuggling issue is huge,” said GOP Rep. Christopher Shays of Connecticut, chairman of the House Government Reform subcommittee on national security.
During the dozen years between the two Iraq wars, Saddam`s oil sales were supposed to be limited to those permitted under the U.N. oil-for-food program. From 1996 to 2003, the program allowed Iraq to sell oil and use proceeds to buy food, medicine and other necessities.
That program has come under scrutiny because of allegations that Saddam received kickbacks and bribed U.N. and foreign government officials. Besides the congressional inquiries, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has appointed former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker to head an investigation.
Former State Department officials said the United States had little choice but to allow some of these sales to Iraq`s neighbors.
Jordan was desperate after the 1991 Persian Gulf War. The U.N. penalties against Iraq cost Jordan a major trading partner. Iraq owed Jordan money, but couldn`t repay without selling oil. Jordan needed oil, but couldn`t import from other producers, angry that Jordan supported Iraq in the war.
“We realized that the Jordanian economy and the Jordanian state would collapse” if it didn`t get access to oil, said David Mack, deputy assistant secretary of state for Near East Affairs at the time.
The United Nations formally acknowledged Jordan`s oil dealings with Iraq in May 1991, without approving or disapproving.
Turkey had an important role in containing Saddam: Its Incirlik air base was used by U.S. military planes.
“With Turkey, it was plain illegal. It was smuggling, but everybody just said, `Oh well, geez, it was too hard to try to do anything about that,”` Mack said.
Syria was another matter.
Allen Keiswetter, deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs in 2000-01, said U.S. officials were aware that Syria was buying oil from Iraq through a pipeline.
“We objected to it mightily and often, but there did not seem any good way to stop it short of military action,” he said.
