This plan is not news, the media covered it 4 years ago and "forgot" about it to claim Bush lied. Heck Iraq's Vice President admitted 3000 suicide bombers were training in Iraq.
On 04/01/03 Agence France Presse reported that Vice President Ramadan claimed 6000 arab jihadis had been trained in Iraq and 3000 had volunteered for suicide missions.
On 03/20/03 BBC reported on its global news wire that Saddam had reached an agreement wit "Arab Afghans", to take part in the war. They had been in training camps in Iraq for 6 months prior to the war starting. The agreement allowed the "Arab Afghans" (veterans of the jihad in Afghanistan and also a code word for AL Qaeda) to fight without having to fight under the Baath Party banner. The BBC specifically mentioned that Al Qaeda commanders had entered Iraq from Iran.
You know, FReepers are known for their criticism of the mainstream media. Criticism which is certainly justified. I find it ironic, though, that most of the articles posted and commented on at FR originate from that same mainstream media.
This is an example of a shift away from that. Instead of a FReeper commenting on someone else's content, he's generating his own. And being recognized for it.
Congratulations jveritas!

thanks, I am late pinging this one!
I wonder if they ever considered developing a Camel TOW missle? *grin*
Great minds think alike!
I've been reading your translations. Good job.
Pray for W and our troops.
Freepers- a group of people that sit on camels in their PJ's intercepting and translating Saddam's war tatics from their computers.
LOL. Even if most of us are only down with the PJ part, we can watch from the sidelines and cheer on the heavy lifters. Mad props to FReeper, jveritas!
ROTGL!!!
Way to go jveritas!
Thank you very much :)
jveritas - I have been away for nearly 10 days freepers pinged me to your posts repeatedly, knowing my interest in this matter.
I can see you are humble about your talents, but want you to know that if it were within my power, I would bestow on your the most valued freeper award. Your hard work on this matter is being picked up by even the British media, I see.
Congratulations and thank you so very, very much for your hard work. It is greatly appreciated and will surely open some eyes to the fact that Saddam worked closely with Al Qaeda. Such work will make people support the war and thus our brave military.
I commend "Freeper jveritas" for his contributions, however, I don't believe this info was released just because the US Government "didn't have the resources" to translate it.
The US Government had the resources to scan and feed it to the Internet....and last I checked the DLI in Monterrey california was still open for business.
I was born, but it wasn't yesterday.....
You are performing a service valued beyond measure to this army mom:) ...and all of the rest of us FReepers.
We are so grateful for the effort and time you are giving this project.
Many, many thanks, jveritas!
You welcome and thank you very much :)
Close enough!!!

Cindy Alsheenistani called 'em 'freedom fighters' didn't she?
