U.S. intelligence suspects Iraqs 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 Lebanons heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents,
Geostrategy-Direct.com will report in Wednesdays (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 Syrias 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 Saddams strategic weapons.
Not surprisingly, U.S. inquiries in Beirut and Syria are being met with little substantive response, U.S. officials said.

I watched the coverage as every wheeled vehicle in Iraq toodled into Syria over that 3 day period. Even huge limos. They were all stuffed with WMD.
And then the UN started the whole Hans Blix dog and pony show. No one seems to ever have made the obvious connection.

The significance of this sighting did not register on the CIA at the Images of a miles-long stream of trucks rolling from Iraq toward Syria just didn't seem to dawn on them that something suspicious might be occurring, this as U.S. forces were building up in the region? Really, CIA?

If so this is evidence that Assad got them and carried out these attacks. I personaLly think terrorists did it. So pushing the Iraq WMD connection helps Obama.
To: tsowellfan
Maybe Bush didn’t want to start anything with Syria.

Was I dreaming or was I the only one who saw the images of the trucks leaving Iraq right before the war began? The lying liberals said Iraq never had them = LIARS and proud of it.

I'm just interested in the truth, no matter where it leads up, or WHO it takes out.

I guess if the american public fell for this the first time to justify invading invading iraq, they’re probably stupid enough to fall for it again.

Wasn’t the theory advanced that since Syria was relatively stable, that the weapons would be safe there, with little likelihood of falling into the hands of radical Islamists, and unlikely to be used against our troops?
Bush made a deal with Assad. I wonder how much money it involved?
