An upcoming joint US-Israel report on the September 6 IAF strike on a Syrian facility will claim that former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein transferred weapons of mass destruction to the country, Channel 2 stated Monday.
Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.

If Channel 2 is correct and such a report does materialize, it will mean that we now have extensive evidence of Saddam’s support for Jihadist terrorists (Institute for Defense Analyses report) and authoritative, official documentation of WMD.
I don’t see how the Bush admin can not but be compelled to conduct an information offensive to rehabilitate his legacy in the face of Moveon.org and all the seditionists.

if this is true, and I hope it is, then what kind of WMDs would they have been? Most likely chemical mostly, from what has been said of Saddam's prior programs. The biological program was there but bioweapons are tricky to use so they're usually of lesser importance, inventory-wise.
His nuke program was there, but he wouldn't have had much but the experimental facilities and research documents.
Even the chem weapons would probably have not been a huge inventory. Its not the sort of thing that you really want to have a whole lot on hand at any one time. Logistics can be a bugger. And there's a shelf life on that stuff too. So it might be in the hundreds or low thousands of shells, but not tens of thousands.
Much of the stuff taken to syria could be raw materials, production equipment, documentation... That sort of thing, in addition to whatever inventory of ready artillery shells or whatnot that they had on hand.
Just a guess tho.

Books shall continue to be written. Eventually sleepy eyed Americans drifting about their local strip malls etc., shall buy books telling the truth about why we had to take out the Butcher for a variety of reasons, shall be purchased, as the prices look appealing. Meanwhile, GWB shall continue to stay the course, he is more concerned with this nation's security and the flow of required crude oil world wide so that the world does not go into the dark ages... to be to concerned with all the Bush-haters out there.
And a big hand salute to those in Israel that continue to keep the torch of freedom and democracy alive in the ME.

Damien was notoriously bad for ground crew and us flight crew. The electrical systems would randomly set the call button off. The engines were also very finicky. I can’t remember if it was that plane that went off the runway in Athens and bent the frame. I know one of the planes had a slight bend in it.
The RC-135 was so cold. It would freeze a water bottle left out..
I flew on one of your birds from Riyadh to Mildenhall. Your planes weren’t exactly warm either, unless you’re sleeping on top of the cargo box.

Can't pull up the original text by redirecting...so have to go manual.
AF huh? Not surprised. Skinny has it that Rivet Joint missions had flight attendants and reclining seats.
Seriously, think there's tons of bad stuff buried across a line in the sand in Syria....maybe Lebanon. A country that escapes our war efforts and a buffer country.
(Saddam was a Baathist and so are the Syrians.)

IDF doesn’t take things to court as evidence, they
mincify evidence.
As well as they should, GO IDF!

Chances are Mossad has all the intel needed to put the whole debate over WMDs to rest.....but that ain't the way it works. Who would they report it to, the UN? The Security Council at the UN?
You're right.

Every time I have tried to bring this up with my liberal coworkers over the past several years, they always tell me that I am dreaming and that it is just not possible.
Oh, how I would love to be able to sit back and watch them go into full-blown liberal wacko tail-end protection mode. A couple of my friends and I will pop some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show. ;-)
