And pulled out by the moderator because it was thought to be useless.

You know, just a US-Israeli report stating Saddam HAD WMDs.

Without any importance.

I begin to think the FR moderator was Carl Levin.

If we make a lot of noise about it, it will be published.

If we keep our mouth shut up, it will be classified.

DID you see how the latest Pentagon report was CORRECTED by liberal liard even in the executive summary ? The IDA report stated that there was no links between Saddam and AQ even if in the actual report, it was written Saddam had links with the Islamic Jihad, which is an AQ affiliate created by AQ n-2 al-Zahawiri.

We are in a war of disinformation. This upcoming report, if we want to hear about it, has to be anounced over and over again.

If we don’t, please be sure that the “Bush lied” slogan will be used to undermine the WoT.

What makes me sick are the Democrats who made statements saying there were WMDs in Iraq prior to the war, who turned around and bitched because they weren’t found, acting as if they had never said they were there.

Then there are those who fail to acknowledge that leaders around the world thought they were there and said so. Even the U.N.’s own inspectors thought there might have been, since Hussein wouldn’t allow uninterrupted inspections.

I fault Bush on a number of points, but the lack of WMDs in Iraq isn’t one of them. He was simply one of many who was convinced they were there. So were the Senators who saw the intelligence reports, prior to the war, and voted to go in.

Where are they now? Democrat cowards and liars one and all...

Most of the blogosphere hasn’t learnt about this.

How do you want to defend your case if you pull threads...

My Goodness, what is wrong with you guys.

That’s really depressing. What is going on in the USA ?

the N-2 thread in the US blogosphere was not aware of the news. The LGF learnt the JPost news TODAY when the FReepers knew three days ago.

It sounds obvious to me, as my earlier thread gathered 4’000 views, that most of the Freepers hadn’t heard about this stuff.

First the thread was breaking news, to attrack most readers. It was pulled. Then on the Frontpage news. Pulled.

What do you want ? If an upcoming report linking the 2007 IAF strike with Saddam WMDs in Syria is not big news, what is ?

Have you surrendered to the lying MSM ? Don’t you want to spread the news ? Are you ready to concede defeat ?

That’s stunning.

Stratfor even discussed this the other day. I hope they release this report but don’t get too excited any longer about these reports.

Please email me by the way. I’d like to talk to you about some stuff.

Pulled again. This is not big news, yep. Just 4’500 readers who had never heard about it.

Maybe the STUPID moderator of FreeRepublic thinks people spends every day of every hour on FR.

That’s soooo pathetic. Go on in your war. If you think you can win it without explaining why you went to fight it...

” That’s really depressing. What is going on in the USA ? “

The Big Lie has won, ‘There were no wmds’, that`s what`s going on indside the USA.

A video could come out showing Saddam Hussein tap dancing on top of a 50 gallon drum with a skull and cross bones with the words ‘ANTHRAX’ on it and telling his boys to drive it to Syria and the left and it`s political arm, the dominant media, would merely yawn and dismiss it as not fitting their Big Lie template.

The template has been cast, the Big lie hs prevailed, no matter what evidence comes to light.

This administration is lost. Bush wants to please those who hate him.

The matter is not here. The matter is wether this official, binational report, will show up.

If nobody waits it, it will be classified and lost in administration building. If not, we could have REAL, OFFICIAL,evidence of what Freepers have been working so hard to realease.

The stupid moderator of FR obviously thinks that if on Monday April 7, this subject was shown, it is done. Killed. Forever.

Let’s go to another subject. And let’s give Democrats weapons and weapons to kill the US soldiers in the back while they are fighting a TOTALLY JUSTIFIED war.

The MSM want America to lose in Iraq.

The US people don’t. Show them evidence, and they will think twice.

But for this, this report has to be spread around. And to be released, people has to know its existence.

To know its existence, FR has to spread the call, and not only post it ONE DAY.

But obviously this 1st grade reasoning is too complicated for the FR moderator.

A BIG story missed by the media:

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=1766CA37-A002-47DD-9FAF-0B8DF5B3851E

Iraqi WMDs, Now in Syria

 
By Larry Elder
Townhall.com | Thursday, May 06, 2004

"Week after week after week after week," said Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., about President Bush's rationale for going to war with Iraq, "we were told lie after lie after lie after lie." Were we?

Jordan recently seized 20 tons of chemicals trucked in by confessed al-Qaeda members who brought the stuff in from Syria. The chemicals included VX, Sarin and 70 others. But the media seems curiously incurious about whether one could reasonably trace this stuff back to Iraq. Had the terrorists released a "toxic cloud," Jordanian officials say 80,000 would have died!

So, I interviewed terrorism expert John Loftus, who once held some of the highest security clearances in the world. Loftus, a former Army officer, served as a Justice Department prosecutor. He investigated CIA cases of Nazi war criminals for the U.S. attorney general. Author of several books, Loftus once received a Pulitzer Prize nomination.

John Loftus: There's a lot of reason to think (the source of the chemicals) might be Iraq. We captured Iraqi members of al-Qaeda, who've been trained in Iraq, planned for the mission in Iraq, and now they're in Jordan with nerve gas. That's not the kind of thing you buy in a grocery store. You have to have obtained it from someplace.

Larry Elder: They couldn't have obtained it from Syria?

Loftus: Syria does have the ability to produce certain kinds of nerve gasses, but in small quantities. The large stockpiles were known to be in Iraq. The best U.S. and allied intelligence say that in the 10 weeks before the Iraq war, Saddam's Russian adviser told him to get rid of all the nerve gas. It would be useless against U.S. troops; the rubber suits were immune to it. So they shipped it across the border to Syria and Lebanon and buried it. Now, in the last few weeks, there's a controversy that Syria has been trying to get rid of this stuff.

They're selling it to al-Qaeda is one supposition. We know the Sudanese government demanded that the Syrian government empty its warehouse in Khartoum where they've been hiding illegal missiles along with components of Weapons of Mass Destruction. But there's no doubt these guys confessed on Jordanian television that they received the training for this mission in Iraq. . . And from the description it appears this is the form of nerve gas known as VX. It's very rare, and very tough to manufacture . . . one of the most destructive chemical mass-production weapons that you can use. . . They wanted to build three clouds, a mile across, of toxic gas. A whole witch's brew of nasty chemicals that were going to go into this poison cloud, and this would have gone over shopping malls, hospitals . . . .

Elder: You said that the Russians told Saddam, "There is going to be an invasion. Get rid of your chemical and biological weapons."

Loftus: Sure. It would only bring the United Nations down on their heads if they were shown to really have Weapons of Mass Destruction. It's not generally known, but the CIA has found 41 different material breaches where Saddam did have a weapons of mass destruction program of various types. It was completely illegal. But no one could find the stockpiles. And the liberal press seems to be focusing on that.

Elder: It seems to me that this is a huge, huge story.

Loftus: It's embarrassing to the (press). They've staked their reputations that this stuff wasn't there. And now all of a sudden we have al Qaeda agents from Iraq showing up with Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Elder: David Kay said, in an interim report, that there was a possibility that WMD components were shipped to Syria.

Loftus: A possibility? We had a Syrian journalist who defected to Paris in January. The guy is dying of cancer, and he said, "Look, my friends in Syrian intelligence told me exactly where the stuff is buried." He named three sites in Syria, and the Israelis have confirmed the three sites. They know where the stuff is, but the problem is that the United States can't just go around invading Arab countries. . . We know from Israeli and defectors' intelligence that the son of the Syrian defense minister was paid 50 million bucks to bring the stuff across the border and bury it.

Elder: Why would al-Qaeda attack Jordan?

Loftus: Jordan is an ally of the United States. It's at peace with Israel. And Jordan has a long history of trying to prosecute terrorists. . . There are a lot of reasons. . . They want to make an example of them. They want to terrorize as many of the Arab states as possible. This is sort of a political dream for the president. The worst nightmare is al-Qaeda gets Weapons of Mass Destruction from Iraq. And it looks like it's coming true.

A Syria/Iraq/al Qaeda/WMD connection? Why, this calls for a congressional investigation.

More immediate danger:

Spy photos reveal 'secret launch site' for Iran's long-range missiles

And:

Iran: we now have 6,000 nuclear centrifuges,/b>

But the MSM wants to focus on this:

Petraeus Takes the Hill

But see post #3...for what they should have heard.

Meanwhile ...we are taking care of business:

Powerful new satellite to debut over Pacific

And the Vice President has some comments:

And the Washington Post complains about what he had to say:

Cheney on the Warpath Again? (BDS/CDS and Iran)

But you see, The Jerusalem Post got the news from Channel 2. Channel two monitors Free Republic where the report was posted yesterday or the day before.

It takes a while for stuff to work its way through the media.

This would only be worthy of mention if it read:

"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. Extensive coverage by New York Times and other US media outlets is anticipated."

Drzz, You need to chill a bit.

SPREAD THE STORY - OR DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS REPORT.

CONSERVATIVES ARE SO SHY - WAKE UP - GROW UP - FIGHT !

None of us here are shy, and every single one of us - at least the Conservatives here, are already prepared to fight. We have been. Most of us are in "wait and see mode"... but the truth is, if there are WMDs in Syria (and I believe there are) they are either well hidden or that was what was destroyed by the Israelis in September. Even so, what is it we're all going to do about it?

We can all sit here and say "I told you so" til we're blue in the face, and the Dumbasses on the Left still won't ADMIT to being wrong. So, what does it get us screaming and typing IN ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME? Nothing, nothing at all, except high blood pressure.

I'm already on BP meds, and I don't need to raise mine any more than I do already over this stuff. It's time, in my opinion for all of us "be quiet, listen carefully, talk amongst ourselves, and plan for the inevitable"... think about it.
