U.S. official: Iraqis told me WMDs sent to Syria

A former American overseer of Iraqi prisons says several dozen inmates who were members of Saddam Hussein's military and intelligence forces boasted of helping transport weapons of mass destruction to Syria and Lebanon in the three months prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Don Bordenkircher – who served two years as national director of prison and jail operations in Iraq– told WND that about 40 prisoners he spoke with "boasted of being involved in the transport of WMD warheads to Syria.

A smaller number of prisoners, he said, claimed "they knew the locations of the missile hulls buried in Iraq."

Some of the inmates, Bordenkircher said, "wanted to trade their information for a release from prison and were amenable to showing the locations."

The prisoners were members of the Iraqi military or civilians assigned to the Iraqi military, often stationed at munitions facilities, according to Bordenkircher. He said he was told the WMDs were shipped by truck into Syria, and some ended up in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.

Other Iraqi military personnel, including former top Saddam associates, have made the same claim.

In early 2006, Saddam's No. 2 Air Force officer, Georges Sada, told the New York Sun Iraq's WMDs were moved into Syria six weeks before the war started.

Four of the prisoners – civilians attached to the Iraqi military – said they worked at the al-Muthana Chemical Industries site. They said the cargo included nitrogen mustard gas warheads for Tariq I and II missiles.

This is no surprise. Hussein gassed to death many of his own people.

“wanted to trade their information for a release from prison and were amenable to showing the locations.”

OK, so where are the locations. I am sure the government would have made a trade. Sounds like BS.

This would explain the furious activity at the Iraq-Syria border that Powell spoke of at the UN showdown.Trucks,trucks and more trucks at the border,Powell said.And he had photos to prove it.

Gosh, the world watched the convoys headed to Syria while Colin Powell yutzed around with the UN prior to the war and they all said, “well, those are all refugees fleeing the impending invasion by the yanqui imperial pigs”

Funny, the refugee camps the UN set up all remained EMPTY

Uh-—yeah! This was also published in a few books after we went in. It was watched near real time on overhead imagery.
