FLASHBACK: Where did Saddam’s WMD go? To Syria …

U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction have finally been located.

Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States and its allies,
because the containers with the strategic materials are not in Iraq.

Instead they are located in Lebanon’s heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents,
Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in Wednesday’s (Sept. 2, 2003) weekly edition.

U.S. intelligence first identified a stream of tractor-trailer trucks moving from Iraq to Syria to Lebanon in January 2003.
The significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the time.

U.S. intelligence sources believe the area contains extended-range Scud-based missiles and parts for chemical and biological warheads.

Mutually-lucrative Iraqi-Syrian arms transactions are nothing new.
Firas Tlas, son of Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlas, has been the key to Syria’s rogue alliance with Iraq.
He and Assad made hundreds of millions of dollars selling weapons, oil and drugs to and from Iraq,
according to the May 13, 2003 edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com.

The CIA now believes a multi-million dollar deal between Iraq and Syria provided for the hiding and safekeeping of Saddam’s strategic weapons.

Not surprisingly, U.S. inquiries in Beirut and Syria are being met with little substantive response, U.S. officials said.

One of the weapons inspectors said that Iraqi Sarin and tabun had a shelf life of somewhere around 5 years, and that VX lasted a little longer, and botulinum toxin and liquid anthrax only last roughly 3 years.

If you want to stand down wind, we can try a few out and you can report back. While it may not be as potent, it's still dangerous.

The US govt produced all of “our” VX here in Indiana back in the 60s.

The folks seemed to think it was still mighty dangerous when they were disposing of it 40 yrs later.

No one seems to ever have made blurted out the obvious connection.

Then WHY didn’t BUSHIE tell us this?!

They did.....Colin Powell did a slide show presentation to Congress showing the convoys leaving Iraq.......That's one of the points that convinced all the Democrats to jump on board the Attack Iraq bandwagon........

Of course they all jumped ship several years later when the MSM went on the attack against Bush.

Remember the Jack Wilson and Valerie Plame 3 year investigation? That was all over his NYT article where he claimed he was sent to Niger to find out if Hussein had purchased yellow cake uranium and discovered that it never happened.

Then it was his claim that Cheney or someone in the Bush administration had leaked info revealing that his wife, Valerie Plame, was a covert CIA agent in retaliation to his article.........We all know how that turned out don't we?

Pentagon Completes Secret Shipment Of 500 Tons Of Uranium From Iraq To Canada

Virtually everyone here (except the now Bush haters) and in the conservative world knew what the facts were but it was the Democrat propaganda team, aided by the MSM, that turned the country against Bush...........

Need I also mention the Barney Frank/Fannie Mae propaganda?

I read a lot of sites regarding the shelf life of that stuff. It has little value once it’s passed its shelf life. No, I wouldn’t want to stand downwind if you released it. But I wouldn’t want to walk a six foot wide plank for 50 feet, 1000 feet off the ground either, even though it’s probably perfectly safe.

Sadly, it was BUSH who made the claim that Saddam had no wMD. It was a mistake....his was war was a mistake. Everyone understands...not. Condi insistted insisted he “come clean” on “the truth” and make the US and Bush look, like incompetent ass wipes.

We knew you meant “LOOKING” and not “OOKING”, so don’t
fret about it.
