The American experts observed a parade of the Baath Party in January 2002 which showed unconventional weapons which disappeared since the beginning of the war, in March 2003, and which are still untraceable. (Richard Miniter, 22 myths that undermine the War one Terror, Regnery, 2005, p. 104)

No, no.

The UN inspectors made sure that they were all gone. Nothing to see here, move along.

The Bekka Valley is where I’ve read on various posts that some of this stuff may have gone to?????

Rest easy my dear friend. I have been assured by many of Ron Paul’s supporters that the “sand monkeys” are no threat what so ever to our shores.

If we will just pull our troops off the world stage, and secure our borders, magic faeries will just make any missile of aircraft attacks bounce off our nation’s airspace...

True Conservatives* know this...

According to the MSM

And according the the president, who apparantly agrees with the MSM that the WMD intel was botched.

Some missile motors were found in a junkyard in Netherlands in mid 2003 right after the invasion, someone was cleaning house right after we went in

The missile in the video is an Ababil-100. Scores of Ababil-100s were found as the Coalition entered Iraq. ALL of these Ababil-100s Iraq was legally allowed to own and operate. This was under UN Security Council Resolution 687. You know that resolution that the Coalition agreed on?

It was missiles such as the Al Hussein that Iraq was not allowed to have. The Al Hussein was based on the SCUD and weapons in the medium-range that Iraq was not allowed to have. It was SCUD based weapons and extended-range variants that hit Israel during 1991.

The Ababil was very well known to the U.N. Inspectors. All of these weapons were legal and tagged and recorded accordingly. A weapon of this size is one up from a battlefield rocket. It was legally owned and incapable of achieving the range of a SCUD or SCUD derivative.

If the video had shown an Al Hussein then it would have been positive proof. What the video shows is an Ababil.

What a lot of people fail to understand is the fact that Iraq was allowed to maintain an armed forces capable of self-defence from its neighbours. This included short-range ballistics and even medium-range bombers. For example the Iraqi’s were allowed to operate such aircraft as the Tu-16 Badger.

Thanks for posting this.

And for those who wonder why Saddam decided to get rid of the WMDs before the invasion maybe this will be a little reminder that this policy of hiding his assets somewhere else was nothing new:

drzz’s videos are very good

Check out this one that includes a lot of info on Salman Pak

A valuable source of info

[Tommyjo]

Also check out the missile at 0427 in your Video.

This is also a short-range ballistic missile.

Iraq had several types of SRBMs such as Ababil, Samoud and Al Fatah and that is what you see in the video. Those are NOT long-range missiles.

Check out the following links detailing the Iraqi SRBMs.

Link2

Along with yourself the U.S. Department of State also needs to go on a course of missile recognition.

Link Dept of State

Here is an image they have on their website

Here is the caption

Abandoned Iraqi Scud missile mounted on a mobile launcher along the Tigris River on the outskirts of Baghdad, June 4. 1,400 experts have just arrived in Iraq to begin a detailed investigation of Saddam Hussein’s weapons industry. Visiting U.S. forces in the Gulf June 5, President Bush pledged to "reveal the truth" about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction

The missile is actually a smaller ranged missile as seen in the video that you claim shows 'long-range missiles'

The missile in the picture shows a FROG battlefield rocket (FROG - Free Rocket Over Ground)

If any SCUD had been found in Iraq then it would have been a smoking-gun. No SCUDs were launched and none were found in Iraq.

The following are images of Iraqi SRBMs as seen in the video that you posted. Note the size of these. Note ISG personnel examining one of the Iraqi SRBMs. Note the size. This is what you are claiming in the video is a 'long-range missile'.
