Former Iraqi Air Force Gen. Georges Sada claims that Newsweek's translation of some of Saddam Hussein's tapes is wrong. Newsweek reported that the Saddam tapes include statements that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Speaking on Fox News Channel, General Sada said that the tapes were not translated correctly and his translation is that Saddam Hussein did have WMD. Why would Newsweek publish an erroneous story? Sada believes they used unqualified translators who confused Arab dialects. Others believe Newsweek may have a vested interest in perpetuating the story that Iraq had no WMD.
General Sada also says that chemical or biological weapons were flown to Syria in 56 flights, but was unable to confirm it.
General Sada's allegations are confirmed by others. A Pentagon official, John A. Shaw, who was responsible for keeping track of Iraq’s weapons programs, claims that special Russian troops in civilian clothes supervised the transfer of Saddam’s WMDs into Syria. An Israeli general, Moshe Yaalon, has made a similar claim. The general in charge of Pentagon spy satellites has admitted observing large truck convoys from Iraq to Syria before the war began.
Yet most of the 2 million documents have not been explored or even translated. It’s almost as if the CIA and the Pentagon don’t want to know what they contain.
According to the Boston Herald, the CIA’s clandestine war against the White House means the agency cannot be trusted for an honest account of what’s in this material.
Many believe that Congress should make sure that an independent body, with no ax to grind, checks the documents and releases every last one that can be made public safely.
Iraq Produced Biological Weapons
Iraq Produced Chemical Weapons
Iraq had an Extensive Nuclear Program
Iraq used Chemcial WMD on Kurds
Iraq used Chemical WMD on Iranians
Iraq Concealed Info from the UN
Iraq Lied to the UN
Iraq Stalled the UN
And that is within just the first couple hundred documents.
No the liberal media changed the truth. Who would ever believe it? /sarcasm
interesting
It wasn't long ago that Newsweek (Isikoff) was reporting the Muslim Brotherhood was dead. And then there were elections in Egypt and the West Bank/Gaza that proved the organization was alive and kicking.
It is only a matter of time until these documents reveal the names of CIA, DOD, Congressmen, State Department officials and U.S. businessmen who were complicit in Saddam's reign of terror. Of course there is no institutional interest in translating these documents.
Gee, Sarge, do ya' think Newsweak would "mistakenly" misinterpret documents that show the Bush Administration was right? We here know they were correct in launching into Iraq, because we have knowledge the MSM doesn't through legwork literally worldwide. This is in keeping with the MSM's near-orgasmic drive to discredit and undermine GWB, as a mouthpiece for the DNC and the democrat party.
YA THINK!!!????!!!
How about the Mossad? :-)
Steve Doocy was talking about the released Iraqi documents this morning and mentioned a US Army website where some of the translated documents can be viewed. I failed to write down the address, but it had something to do with Army Foriegn studies or something to that affect.
Anybody else see this and have a link?
Fox has become a gossip channel it sucks. They are busy with the pastor and his wife these days.
Actually, I believe two Britains are named in one document I downloaded from the Leavenworth site. They are referred to as Iraqi friendly journalist if memory serves me right. I wont post their names here however.
There is still a magazine called Newsweek? I thought that mag went down the tubes last year?
Thanks. Tip of the iceberg, IMO.
The deck is stacked against us and our soldiers need our support.
Doesn't surprise me. In this country we don't know what the meaning of IS is.
KEEP THIS ONE HOT! Thanks for the post.
Today's MSM - if we don't lie to you, who will?....
