“3. Massive amounts of WMD were removed to known locations in Syria just prior to the war.
Does anyone remember seeing the satellite footage of the caravans of Iraqi military vehicles heading to Syria which was shown in the weeks before we went to war in Iraq? The muteness of the Bush administration from the time this criticism started is frustrating.”
OK. Showtime or tinfoil hat time.
Democrats scream for four years(1998-2002) that Iraq has WMD
Colin Powell showed the WMD footage to the UN and the trucks and sites.
Trucks leave Iraq by the hundreds leading up to the war
We have all the trucks on Satellite and intelligence has trucks monitored.
The trucks all mysteriously disappear
US inveades Iraq.
Democrats scream no WMD exists.
Bush administration doesn’t argue. Why?
What happened?
If it was known that WMD existed, then terrorists would only have to say they had them and were planning attacks. This would send the world into a panic. Global markets would come crashing down, oil prices would skyrocket, people would basically go nuts.
In addition, the Democrats and the UN would blame the Bush administration for a total failure to secure Saddams WMD and putting the world in jeapordy.
By secretly destroying the WMD then saying there was none, it was the lesser of two evils for the Bush administration as well as for the world.
Call it taking one for the team.
In my opinion these caravans did not enter Syria although there were heading West toward Syria, they were heading to some specific locations in the Western Desert also know as the Anbar province. I think these caravans were carrying the Precursors (basic materials) and other equipments required to make Chemical Weapons and they were buried deep in the Anbar province.
I’d hope that there would be someone to at least tell that story one day and if that’s the case there shouldn’t be much reason to still keep it secret.
Iran and Iraq exchanged coffins of dead soldiers from the iran iraq war also about this time. How do we know these coffins really had the remains of soldiers in them? What if some of those coffins had war materials in them?
