Israeli intelligence has identified what are believed to be Iraqi weapons of mass destruction goods in Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, U.S. officials said.

The Israelis used a spy satellite to photograph several tractor-trailer loads of suspected weapons into the Bekaa Valley, where the Islamist terrorist group is based.

Shipments there began in early January and ended the first week of March.

According to Israeli intelligence, Saddam paid Syrian leader Bashar Assad $35 million to hide the weapons.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah, which enjoys backing from both Syria and Iran, now has an estimated 12,000 Katyusha rockets to use against northern Israel. The terrorist group also has anti-aircraft guns and sophisticated communications systems.

"think the Israelis know that spy satellites can't monitor a site 24/7"

--

This isn't really correct, as one satellite moves out of rangeof sight, another one can move in. There probably aren't enough satellites to cover the entire earth at every single spot 24/7, but they can adjust satellite coverage to have continuous coverage of regions of interest.

That's okay - let the mainstream media ignore the story - when ALLLLL the evidence comes out they are going to look like even bigger fools and definitely hindering the truth about WMD. Let them hang themselves.

Good news, but perhaps the Syrians could move the WMD at night - don't know the satellites' night vision.

Ugh, spoken like a true American, right?

This depends of course upon whose definition of "true American" is being used. BTW, my post was, as usual, partly tongue-in-cheek. Nonetheless, I stand by my earlier statement. The destroyers of civilization must be annihilated, by whatever means possible. Sorry if this concept is too harsh for your liberal sensibilities. Here's to hoping that you may in fact grow up in time.
