Here's an interesting exchange on Free Republic a while back:

...One of my two best friends (they're twins) works for the United States State Department. He was assigned to Kuwait for the past five months and was there during the war. He e-mailed me in early May that he his boss (also in the State Department) told him that coalition forces found and captured Iraqi WMDs even before the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003. He said that the coalition would release this information and present the evidence at a proper time. When this time would be, his boss did not have any knowledge.
Also, my friend is a Bush-hater. College did that to him, so he's not a Bush-bot, but a Democrat supporter. Heck, he works for the United States State Department.

Had you posted that on another thread? If not you are the second one to say they had personal contacts with someone in the State Dept that had stated WMD's had been found!

My Brother works for the State Department and is in Iraq right now. Your friend is telling a simular story to what my brother has shared with me

Ummm, no, I did not post that story on another thread. Which thread would that be? Thanks in advance.

That's very interesting. I should have known -- considering my friend called Bush a coke addict -- that he would even share this information with me. If this is true, I wonder why the coalition is holding back this information.

I believe the reason is because of international politics. From what I can gather, we compromised their computer systems and established quite a few contacts with Iraqi Generals. Spec. Ops were sent in early to secure some of these weapons and due to our early strikes on their command and control, there was no central command or co-ordinated communications for the Iraqi forces in the battle field.
Back in September, Our spy satellites detected convoys of trucks moving into Syria with suspected WMD's and they have evidence that dozens of trucks had their payloads buried in Syria, just over the border from Iraq.
There was mention of this in the news back then but as usual these kind of FACTS never seem to register on the radar screens of the leftist lemmings in the press.

Great letter,
I firmly believe David kay will show proof of an elaborate weapons program that consisted of dual use materials that could be brought together and assembled in a short period of time for deployment.
The precursors (Like the Castor Beans labeled as Fertilizer) have already been sucured, Chemical weapons can be assembled in a short peiod of time and require little maintainence, but the Bio Weapons are living organisms and need to be kept alive and require much more attention.
I believe Syria is where they will be found, and the only reason why Syria hasn't been paid a visit by Task Force 20 is because David Kay needs to assemble the evidence so we don't go into Syria with suspect Intel and get caught with our pants down.
I would be willing to bet that Iran will be paid a vist by the Israeli's and Syria will say hello to a massive attack by our forces by this time next year. Iran is the last big threat of a nuclear disaster in the mideast and there is no doubt that they will attack Israel the day they have a deliverable Nuclear Weapon. We have to act before a horror like we have never seen before is delivered to our troops in the region
