Another article, maybe the US press will report the story one day.

And people say he didn’t have any. Now they’ve been proven wrong, and the program is still progressing. Maybe Israel got rid of a part of it?

As Loftus summarized, “The gist of the new evidence is this: Roughly one-quarter of Saddam’s WMD was destroyed under UN pressure during the early to mid 1990s. Saddam sold approximately another quarter of his weapons stockpile to his Arab neighbors during the mid-to-late-1990’s. The Russians insisted on removing another quarter in the last few months before the war. The last remaining WMD, the contents of Saddam’s nuclear weapons labs, were still inside Iraq on the day when the coalition forces arrived in 2003. His nuclear weapons equipment was hidden in enormous underwater warehouses beneath the Euphrates River. Saddam’s entire nuclear inventory was later stolen from these warehouses right out from under the Americans’ noses.”


A very clear and concise summary if true.

That is the most disturbing analysis of the September Israeli raid that I have read to date, and it sure sounds plausible to me. I’ve developed a pretty fine BS filter on these things over the years, and this one scares the living hell out of me.

This also demonstrates that the views from overseas on these issues are frequently much, much different from Washington’s, and are certainly well worth considering.

I don’t know. I was impressed by the way the Israelis handled this story. Israel wasn’t in your face about their activities in Syria. And Israel’s other Arab neighbors repaid Israel’s tact by looking the other way.

The Israelis were much less discreet about their activities after they bombed the Iraqis nuclear a couple decades back. I’ve read they felt they made a mistake by trumpeting their triumph.

Both Iran and the USA have taken note of the way the Israelis handled the Syrian nuclear facility.

Has anyone seen these enormous underwater warehouses? Where along the Euphrates were they located? If they exist, why haven’t there been pictures or film of them?

Over the weekend former federal prosecutor and the head of the non-governmental International Intelligence Summit, John Loftus, released a report on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. His report was based on a private study of captured Iraqi documents. These were the unread Arabic language documents that U.S. forces seized, but had not managed to translate after overthrowing Saddam Hussein in 2003.

Are the documents public? Link?

If we have have to just take the word of someone, watch out for "Curveball - Part II".

I hope Olmert is only putting out disinformation. If his statement is sincere, then Israel is in mortal danger.

Well, it’s about time...That is exactly what is described in the following Book by authors Hamza and Stein...Hamza was one of the very top scientists and he said there was a huge underground facility under where the work on developing a nuke went on, at one time over 10,000 people worked on the project. The top scientists were hand-picked by Hussein and were tightly controlled by him..
