Not to be cliche, but See, I told you so.

Multiple large convoys were sighted leaving Iraq for Syria during the allied build-up in Kuwait in 2002-early 2003. Contents of buildings logged by Un "inspectors" were missing. Stockpiles of WMDs also logged by the UN were missing. Any scientist helping the allies were executed. The list goes on.

Snippits of evidence have been showing up since Iraq's liberation, but they only allude to the WMD program. Kinda like finding bear tracks, but not finding the bear that made them. We had several thousand documents linking Iraq to WMDs, Bin Laden, and the PLO. Saddam's support for PLO homicide bombers in Isreal, and multiple terrorist training camps in Slamon Pak, with the jet liner hulls for hyjack training, and a northern camp, with a mural of Saddam smoking a cigar while the WTC burned.

Syria also infiltrated hundreds of mercenary fighters into Iraq to assist Saddam (a fellow National Socialist Baathist). These mercs fought the 3rd ID during the "Thunder Runs" in 3rd IDs supporting fight now called "The Battle of the Passes". This is open source information, and was reported on extensivly, and is available on the net and in the news.

That aside, there can clearly be only one place the WMDs could have gone: Syria. It is clear Syria is a transit point for the distribution of these weapons to terrorists as it is a state sponsor of terrorism. Unfortunatly, we may see the "less rational" (relative term, I know) islamofascists use them in Isreal as they tried to do in Jordan, heedless of the fact the wind blows from west to east. Any NBC attack in Isreal would spill into the "occupied territories" and then onto Jordan, Syria, maybe Lebanon with the death toll in the 100s of thousands with millions more sick and dying. The Isrealies would certainly retaliate and there would be a nuclear crossfire. Most of the Arab world would be obliterated in seconds (Iraq MAY be spared, if only because US troops are there) and the contamination would spread into Pakistan, Maylasia, SW Asia and the Philipines.

What would happen then? I don't know, but if we hadn't gone into Iraq, this scenario would have definatly happened and there would also be cities in the USA, Europe, Russia, and maybe even China (which has a jihad problem too) wiped out. How would they have responded then?? What will happen if a terrorist enabler like Kerry is elected? By "enabler" I mean someone who goes back to the failed Clinton "anti-terrorist" policies of the 90s or who pulls US troops out of Iraq and guts the military and the CIA (like Kerry voted on EVRY time).... You get the idea.

My point, long as it is, is that Bush, along with the CIA and EVERY intelligence service in the world INCLUDING the liberals favorites (UN, China, Russia) stated Iraq had a WMD program. The UN saw it and did nothing when it went missing. This charade of a 9-11 Commission demanded to know why Bush didn't act pre-emptivly in Afganistan with less than 5 weeks of notice (the UN doesn't even decide a meeting schedule in 5 weeks!) and a military still reeling from Clinton's misadventures. These same people are outraged that we acted on a known enemy with evidence of the weapons, 12 YEARS of failed international diplomacy, 14 toothless "resolutions", violations of all but one aspect of the GW1 cease fire accords (he never re-invaded Kuwait), and multiple ties to terrorists including financial aid to terrorists that Saddam BRAGGED about!

Had to post and run earlier. Following are some excerpts from an AFP article posted todayJordan police kill three suspected militants in shootout. They seized 17.5 tons (35000 pounds) of explosives... talk about a MOAB.

Jordan police kill three suspected militants in shootout
Posted: 20 April 2004 2310 hrs

AMMAN : Jordanian security forces announced they had killed three suspected militants in a shootout in the capital in the latest in a spate of counterterrorism operations in recent weeks.

It was the latest in a flurry of conspiracies revealed by Jordanian officials which they have linked to Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, a fugitive Islamist sentenced to death here earlier this month for the October 2002 killing of a US diplomat.

Last week, Jordan's King Abdullah II said the security services had dismantled a "terror network", thwarting plans by the group to commit "a crime never before seen in the kingdom" which would have killed thousands.

The king later told a US newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, that Jordanian police had seized five trucks loaded with 17.5 tonnes of high explosives.

"It was a major, major operation," King Abdullah said in the April 17 interview.

"It would have decapitated the government," he said.

The explosives were apparently intended for an attack on the Jordanian prime minister's office and the intelligence ministry, King Abdullah said, adding that it was uncovered after two suspected terrorists were arrested two weeks ago.

The monarch told the US newspaper that, although the trucks came from Syria, he was "completely confident that (Syrian President) Bashar (al-Assad) did not know about it."

He said that European counterterrorism experts were aiding the Jordanian police investigation, but gave few details.

An official involved in the inquiry later told AFP that the dismantled cell planned on attacking Jordan's intelligence headquarters with a chemical bomb which would have killed 20,000 people in the surrounding west Amman region.

"We found primary materials to make a chemical bomb which, if it had exploded, would have made nearly 20,000 deaths ... in an area of one square kilometre," the official said Saturday, on condition of anonymity.

Another operation planned by the group was to use "deadly gas against the US embassy and the prime minister's office in Amman ... and other public buildings in Jordan", he added. - AFP
