In time, the truth will out...

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

LOL!! I guess the rhetoric for Project Bomb Syria wasn't going over very well lately. What to do, what to do? I know, they've got WMDs!!! Personally I figured they were going to be in Iran next...

Yeah, sure it didn't...

"Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States and its allies,..."

Gee... I wonder if we have a friend in that area that would have no qualms about taking them out ?

[swarthyguy]

Actually, DEBKA claimed this a few months ago.

[Semper Paratus]

getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States

And why is that?

[.cnI redruM]

THe signifigence didn't register??

Why hasn't Bush seriously overhauled the CIA?

What did they think those guys were hauling. Three years worth of Islamic Jihad Keg Party Fodder? Our intelligence agencies, whether run by Dems or GOPers, are apallingly bad. They spy worse than I spell.

"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."

Faulty logic here, methinks. If we become very SURE that is where the materiel was secreted to, I think we'll get to them easily.

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

In the post-9/11 world as of January of 2003, and the CIA didn't think this was significant? Not bloody likely.

"U.S. intelligence sources believe the area contains
The CIA now believes a multi-million dollar deal between Iraq and Syria provided for the hiding and safekeeping of Saddam's strategic weapons."

If true, Syria should duck and cover.

I find that hard to believe.I think we knew early on they were moving this stuff out.

[adam_az]

DEBKA reported this in the weeks before the war.

As if we all couldn't see this latest excuse for not producing a single WMD coming from a mile away. Isn't this where we came in on this? We know they have them but can't prove it. Too funny.

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 tomorrow's new weekly edition.

I wonder what excuse the French will about this?

[hchutch]

If this is true, then Bashir Assad has made the last mistake of his life.

[SolutionsOnly]

Wow. All those bad guys concentrated in such a small area.
Interesting....

WTF? - Alert!

[TUX]

Give the nod to Israel. The residue will clear the valley for many years to come and provide a nice contaminated buffer.

I find that hard to believe.
