WASHINGTON The Iraqi defector whose claims that Saddam Husseins government had biological weapons became part of the Bush administrations justification for the 2003 invasion of Iraq has admitted that he fabricated his story.
The defector, Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, who was code-named Curveball by the Central Intelligence Agency and German intelligence officials, told the British newspaper The Guardian on Tuesday that he had concocted his tale that Iraq was hiding mobile bioweapons laboratories. He did so, he said, in hopes that his lies would lead to the eventual overthrow of the Iraqi ruler.

The Bekka valley. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
**Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi= IDIOT who wants his 15 minutes of fame.**
Article said he told this to Germans starting in 2000.
**There are quotes from Raper Clinton, Lurch Kerry, Mad Albright, Deaddy Kennedy that prove they ALL thought there were WMDs prior to Bush. (and, there WERE! Bush was right.)**
Quotes from the Left Wing “Can’t shoot straight”CLUB are all from 1998...
So the info from RABID AHmed is Worthless, and a rewrite of history.
But then ... I still need 2 MORE corroborating sources to trust the NY SLIMES.. only need 1 for the National Enquirer.
Several years ago, the Israelis flew into the Bekka Valley, fired a couple of rockets at the entrance of a cave, then flew out. Only a couple of Syrian soldiers at the mouth of the cave were reported killed.
No “condemnation” from the White House, or anywhere else, as I recall. And no outcry from Syria.
There were a couple of reports about it on network news, then it disappeared. It lasted a little longer here at FR.
The common thread of thought here was that they sealed off the cave where SoDammed’s WMDs had been stashed. I still believe that was the case.
Down...but not defeated.
The antiwar movement has apparently been active in Egypt over the past year -- Code Pink, ANSWER, William Ayers, all the usual suspects. And, of course, the media (not just the NYT) has done everything they can to make Obama the hero of the revolution.
Moreover, the same people who populate ANSWER are available to raise a mob to protest...the environment...treatment of minorities...union actions, etc.
They may be lying low for the moment. But they're plying the same old trade in different venues. Anti-Americans all.
agreed. You are quite right.
IIRC, CIA did not have direct access to him. He was run by another country (Germany?).
Next they will be talking about Zeppelins and electric cars. No, we must move forward to rebuild America.
I believe you’re right.
