New Documents Reveal Saddam Hid WMDs, Was Tied to Al Qaida
News Max ^ | Nov. 16, 2005 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 11/16/2005 9:32:41 AM PST by Ben Mugged

Recently discovered Iraqi documents now being translated by U.S. intelligence analysts indicate that Saddam Hussein's government made extensive plans to hide Iraq's weapons of mass destruction before the U.S. invasion in March 2003 - and had deep ties to al Qaida before the 9/11 attacks.

The explosive evidence was discovered among "millions of pages of documents" unearthed by the Iraq Survey Group weapons search team, reports the Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes.

In the magazine's Nov. 21 issue, Hayes reveals that the document cache now being examined contains "a thick stew of reports and findings from a variety of [Iraqi] intelligence agencies and military units."

Though the Pentagon has so far declined to make the bombshell papers public, Hayes managed to obtain a list of titles on the reports.

My "gut feeling" is right on target. Can't wait to see the reaction from all, and I do mean ALL, who think we were "mislead".

I don't know about an assembly point in Libya. I just ponder why Libya got so far out there in nuclear development while being on the list of state sponsored terrorism. Yet the IAEA wasn't on their nuts 24 /7. Maybe they were and I just missed it. Axis of evil arming to destroy the peace of the world can be taken many ways.

I was just floating and Idea I ponder on sometimes.

Could it be that these folks all conspired to a execute a plan like this and let Osama and Al qaeda take the rap as they would be totally willing to do?

Someone needs to post the photograph of the two soldiers holding a portrait of Saddam smoking a cigar with the towers burning in the background.

The RAT party has gone over to the dark side of treason. They will not "get better". They will only get worse. We need to try a few high profile traitors such as Senator Rockefeller, to instill the fear of the law in them. Ultimately for the nation to survive, the RAT party, as it currently exists, must be liquidated.

This article illustrates the lie that "there were no terrorists in Iraq before the invasion".

She was arrested in Salt when she tried to seek refuge with the family of her sister's husband Nidal Arabiyat, a Zarqawi ally who was killed in clashes with U.S. forces in Iraq in 2003, a senior government official said. "She arrived and her behavior was suspicious so she was apprehended there," the official said. Arabiyat was an explosives expert who had been with Zarqawi in northern Iraq before the U.S.-led invasion.

Working outside formal Pentagon lines of inquiry, I soon learned more. Many of the documents from Doha had been entered into a database known as HARMONY. HARMONY is a thick stew of reports and findings from a variety of intelligence agencies and military units, and alongside the Iraqi documents were reports from contributing U.S. agencies. Eventually, I got a list of document titles that seemed particularly interesting:


1. Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) Correspondence to Iraq Embassy in the Philippines and Iraq MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs)

7. IIS report about the relationship between IIS and the Kurdish Group Jalal Talibani [sic]
8. Iraqi Mukhabarat Structure
9. Locations of Weapons/Ammunition Storage (with map)
10. Iraqi Effort to Cooperate with Saudi Opposition Groups and Individuals
11. Order from Saddam to present $25,000 to Palestinian Suicide Bombers Families
12. IIS reports from Embassy in Paris: Plan to Influence French Stance on U.N. Security Council
13. IIS Importing and Hiding High Tech Computers in Violation of UN
14. IIS request to move persons, documents to private residences
15. Formulas and information about Iraq's Chemical Weapons Agents
16. Denial and Deception of WMD and Killing of POWs
17. 1987 orders by Hussein to use chemical weapons in the Ealisan Basin
18. Ricin research and improvement
19. Personnel file of Saad Mohammad Abd Hammadi al Deliemi
20. Memo from the Arab Liaison Committee: With a list of personnel in need of official documents
21. Fedayeen Saddam Responds to IIS regarding rumors of citizens aiding Afghanistan
22. Document from Uday Hussein regarding Taliban activity
23. Improvised Explosive Devices Plan
24. IIS reports on How French Campaigns are Financed
25. French and German relationships with Iraq
26. IIS reports about Russian Companies--News articles and potential IIS agents
27. IIS plan for 2000 of Europe's Influence of Iraq Strategy
28. IIS plans to infiltrate countries and collect information to help remove sanctions
29. Correspondence from IIS and the stations in Europe
30. Contract for satellite pictures between Russia, France and Iraq: Pictures of Neighboring Countries (Dec. 2002)

Hold the presses. You are on an actual thread that details where Iraq's WMD went?

Aren't you the freeper who has been championing that we shouldn't have gone to Iraq in the first place since there were no WMD?

of course you know this will be totally discredited by the MSM because it's being reported by NewsMax and the Weekly Standard.

"Is the president waiting until he has all of his enemies publicly speaking about the lack of WMD so that he can put this in their faces?" Faces? Faces? That is not where GWB will be putting this information. The only one smiling about where it will be put will be barney frank.
