Slide show of items found at Al-Tuwaitha nuclear research facility in the fall of 2003.
In the fall of 2003 the US State Department along with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency undertook a mission to do cleanup at the Iraqi nuclear lab Al-Tuwaitha.
This lab was subject to UN inspections however the UN teams were not able to fully inspect the site during the Saddam regime. This lab was one of the places from which Saddam's men were video recorded by satellite moving WMD material to Syria.
The slide show shows what Saddam's men left behind in their haste to evacuate Al-Tuwaitha ahead of the coalition army forces and the subsequent looting by Iraqi citizens.
In the GSA report to congress link GAO 05-672 http://www.gao.gov/htext/d05672.html Much was omitted about the true nature of what was found at Al-Tuwaitha. Omitted in the report was the finding of old chemical weapons, discarded fire extinguishers that were used as chemical weapons delivery mechanisms, and highly radioactive materials in boxes with German markings.
Other interesting items omitted in the GAO report to congress is the fact that the Iraqi personnel burned out their offices before leaving. The finding of a machine shop with items that appear to be the shape of uranium bomb cores, and underground intact bunkers. The Valerie Plame/Joe Wilson associated (supposedly) non existent barrels of Nigerian yellowcake uranium were also located.
Other items shown are 2 scud missiles found at the Baghdad airport and a used Iraqi chemical protective suit found in the tunnels under the Baghdad airport complex.
The team shown in the photos was hired by the DTRA to do the hazmat cleanup process. The contractor was Raytheon Tech Services. This is the same contractor that was used by the USGOV to assist the Russians with nuclear hazmat cleanup after the end of the cold war.
Nothing to see here, move along. The horse is dead...
I’m not sure why this doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
Colin “Racist” Powell has already apologized to America for allowing Bush and Cheney to make him lie before the UN.
No other evidence will be accepted.....ever.
Part of the 550 tonnes before being shipped to Canada in July.
Yeah, but there's nothing quite like beating a dead horse.
I should have released this sooner. I was a government contractor in the Middle east and had a non-disclosure clause in my contract. After reluctantly returning to the US after 4 years, I have decided to release these photos received from a co-worker. The truth has to come out. History needs to be wrote correctly.
Nice. I got pics of that room just after the million dollar fix up job that somehow forgot to include paint on the walls.

One of the biggest failures of the Bush administration was not communicating this better to the public. It pissed me off that Rush had to carry the water for this subject.
I don’t understand why jvertas has mountains of translated documents and NONE of it goes anywhere with this admin.
Is there something more we’re not supposed to know? Russia and China maybe? Are we in a proxy World War 3?
Old Bill Clinton told US all Saddam had enough anthrax to kill US alll or some such threat. I remember 'wild' Bill Cohen touring all the media hot houses carrying a 5 lb sack of sugar to teach US of the impending threat. Magically then their supposed threat disappeared once the Clintons cleaned out 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I do not mind having history recorded correctly. Thank you for the post.
Thanks for posting this. I have spoken of this for years, but no one believes me. Welcome to FR, btw.
Because it is so pathetically done. Al Qaeda has far superior production qualities on their tapes - many fradulent to be sure....but well done.
Who is going to believe that this is the best America can put together given the expetise of Hollywood and American film makers?
If this is the best a Republican administration can come up with (pics are fine - production is abysmal), then we are doomed to a leftist world in America until we learn how to fight!!
This has been on YouTube for two months, and only 215 views? This should have been viral!
BTTT
Eagle Eye, this may bring back memories!!!
