Document CMPT-2004-001810-T.pdf was posted in its English translation on the Pentagon/ FMSO website. It contains top secret letters dated March 2003 few days before the start of the Iraq war. The top secret letters were order to Hide and Conceal Equipments and Devices Underground in Hidden Shelters and especially the weapons and devices that are not currently in operations but can be used in the future. What are these weapons that are ordered to be hidden and are not currently in operation but can be used in the future? Most probably these are either finalized form of WMD or precursors to make WMD when the moment is right. This is one of the most important Iraqi documents published so far.

Re: Concealment of Equipment and Devices
1. During our observation of enemy air attack techniques in bombing and destroying deployed equipment and devices belonging to sectors not currently in operation at this time, in which the principle of deployment by our troops, we noticed that the troops deployed, fortified and established control to protect against any land attack.
2. The use of shelters that provide complete concealment and would completely hide the weapons, equipment and devices underground (as applied at the beginning of Gulf War I) has been authorized. As applied at the beginning of Gulf War I, this will make them hard-to-find targets for the enemy’s air force, especially weapons and devices not currently in operation at this time which may be brought into operation in the future. In the event that there is insufficient roofing material, begin with the most important priorities.
Act accordingly.

PS: I did not translate this document because it was only posted in its English translation version on the FMSO/Pentagon website.
Fantastic Find PING! Thank you!
Joseph,
How many other docs have you found with only the English translation and no corrosponding Arab version?
Also, Have you seen any Iraqi docs that refer to Desert Storm as the first gulf war?
Unlike the other documents that you have pointed out to us, I am a little leary of these particular documents.
Thanks.
Hiding enough WMD to kill 10,000,000 people takes one buried shipping container.
Thanks Joe.
I agree with you. I wonder if there is any special significance to the phrase "weapons, equipment and devices," or whether it means just what it says. They have found RPGs and artillery shells and explosive vests stored in caches all over Iraq. This sounds like nothing more than caching conventional weapons for later use.
For almost 2 years, I have harbored a private thought that the Bush administration was collecting evidence of the wmd or something else significant that would require thousands of man hours to document weapons caches, translate documents and be able to put it all together for a big event...like a mid-term election or in time for the Presidential election in 2008. I still think it is possible.....
Publicizing these documents wouldn't be enough to change one Dim's mind, not even if the stuff was referred to in the documents as
"Weapons of Mass Destruction". They just have too much bound up in it
Very few documents have been posted with its English version only, in fact so far I have seen less than 10 out of thousands posted. Over 95% of the documents are posted only in its Arabic original format.
I tend to agree with you about the usage of the Gulf War in this document. The Iraqis rarely refer to operation desert Storm as the Gulf war; in fact I personally have never seen such an expression in the documents I have read so far except for this one. They refer to it as “Mother of All Battles” or “ The Thirties Aggression” after the 30 nations lead by the US who conducted operation Desert Storm.
May be the Pentagon translator(s) in this particular case did not literally translate the Iraqi common reference to Desert Storm but rather took the liberty to use a more “American or Western” name for it i.e. the “Gulf War I”.
I thought about the document being “fake” or “fabricated” but I also thought that if it was this case, the FMSO would not have published in the translated English version only.
Not surprising.Recall that S buried a couple of his jet fighter aircraft-fully intact.With a land area approx equivalent to the size of California,we may never find Saddams WMD's.If we do find WMD's it'll probably be by accident.Example-like the sarin filled artillery shells we found not long ago-that the msm pretty much ignored.
Just my humble opinion, but if the grammar and syntax are correct, this statement could be referring to the bunker-buster bombs we were using.
IOW, the author is telling his men to protect against "penetrators".
I know of a guy that was boots on the ground in Gulf War I and he said that there were vast underground bunkers in the Iraqi desert that could only be located with GPS.
I kind of hope so. But, I think Bush truely wants to heel this country. On 9/11 I didn't see the President of the United States I saw a man that was truely in pain. He didn't say he shared our pain he felt it and as much as he tried to put on a political face he didn't his humanity showed through anyway. Instead I believe there are elements out there that do have the ability to cause mass deaths in the US everything from Bio weapons to Nukes in Iran. The situation while dangerous isn't going to be too alarming to people that have confidence in our government. Letting on how bad it has been allowed to become could cause people to lose confidence in the governments ability to protect us. Perhaps this is the one and only reason for the Bush Administration to down play the extent of Iraq's weapons programs.
"I thought about the document being “fake” or “fabricated” but I also thought that if it was this case, the FMSO would not have published in the translated English version only."
I was wondering if these documents were put on the FMSO site by someone wanting to spoil the site.
If you have any thoughts on this, I would be glad to hear them.
Thanks for the ping!
"I really hope that this is not the case. I have had few communications with some people who are in charge of DOCEX (via e-mail) and they seem very sincere about this. I am going to send them an e-mail and ask them if they can provide me with the original Arabic document for this one or at least clarify with their translators if the Arabic document really mentioned "Gulf War" or it showed the more common Iraqi names for this war."
Those sound like good ideas, Joseph. There is probably nothing wrong here, it is just the oddity that these documents all relate to each other, there is not an Arabic original with any, and the reference to "Gulf War".
Let me know what you find out.
You might also see if you can find out if these documents were put on the site at a seperate time from all others.
Thank you for all you have been and are doing.
Jane
Once I got an answer back from DOCEX, I will let you know :)
