Lt. General Michael DeLong discusses intelligence behind U.S. concern over Ansar al-Islam terror/poison camp in Northern Iraq

A recent conversation Lt. General Michael DeLong revealed new information on prewar intelligence on Iraq that has received little, if any, public attention thus far. General DeLong was the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command during the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and was directly involved with the pre-invasion preparation for Operation Iraqi Freedom. He offered the observation that Bush administration officials appear to have been reluctant thus far in explaining the prewar intelligence and evidence tying members of Saddam Hussein’s regime to the al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al Islam terrorist group.

Positive test for terror toxins in Iraq: Evidence of ricin, botulinum at Islamic militants’ camp

Wait a minute. . .there's absolutely no Al Qaeda connection to Iraq and there's absolutely no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq--

And now here's MSNBC telling me the opposite.

My head is exploding.

Excellent article Mark.

Thank you Joseph. I'd still like to combine all you've found with as many people we can get on record as possible.

Your head is spewing out good words Phil.

The only problem with this theory is that the camp was in a part of Iraq not under Saddam's control.

Wait a minute. . .there's absolutely no Al Qaeda connection to Iraq and there's absolutely no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq--

Very well put...(but if I may) you forgot to mention the happy smiling Iraqi's singing Saddams praises.

Salman Pak was only a few kliks from downtown Baghdad. Ask Col. North what the Marines found as they overran that training camp and subsequent camps. Evidence for Iraq and terrorist ties is extensive but with the mainstream media so determined to lie rather than post the truth regarding same, it is useless for this administration to hound the issue. Jveritas and courageous folks like him are our best hope for exposing the truth. Sadly, the lying leftist media whores will never be called to pay for their lies and propaganda.

DeLong, who briefly mentions the intelligence on the camp in his book "Inside Centcom" (new paperback "A General Speaks Out"),

A General Speaks Out: The Truth About the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (Paperback)
by Michael DeLong, Noah Lukeman, Anthony Zini
http://www.amazon.com/General-Speaks-Out-Truth-Afghanistan/dp/0760330484

Book Description



Lt. General Mike DeLong, deputy commander of the U.S. Central Command during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, was second only to General Tommy Franks in conducting the war on terror. From his vantage point at the center of discussions between President Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Tommy Franks, General DeLong offers the frankest and most authoritative look yet inside the wars--how we prepared for battle, how we fought, how we toppled two regimes--and what's happening now on these two crucial fronts. DeLong made a significant retort of those critical of having a more streamlined, technological force in a recent New York Times op ed and on CNN. This book builds on his argument: in war, expect the unexpected. Mistakes will be made, and no amount of war-gaming can create instant harmony and peace in a region that has never known it.
