Don't Be Surprised When Iraqi WMD Found

April 20, 2004

I don't know if you heard about this, because it has not been widely reported. Terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda were poised to detonate a chemical bomb in the heart of Amman, Jordan, that would have killed 20,000 people and contaminated a large area. King Abdullah praised Jordan's intelligence service for foiling a crime never before seen in the kingdom of Jordan. The target was a headquarters of the general intelligence department on a hill in Amman.

King Abdullah was to be in America to meet with President Bush, but decided not to come because of this threat. Where this story gets interesting is that King Abdullah of Jordan says that the vehicles carrying these explosives, the chemical bomb, were smuggled over the border from neighboring Syria. Syria is denying this, but these are weapons of mass destruction.

Syria is a transit point for weapons of mass destruction. The whole subject of where are the weapons of mass destruction remains a focal point of mine. It remains an area of heightened curiosity, because I do not believe that they have been destroyed. I do not believe that Iraq never had them. I think Iraq had them. I think Iraq was working on them. I don't think the world's intelligence agencies are as woefully incompetent and bad and inept as the whole weapons of mass destruction issue would lead us to believe.

There are some things missing from buildings in Iraq, and there's too much speculation out there about how some of this stuff can be miniaturized and transported out of the country easily. Syria is an obvious place, and many people I respect have pointed to the Bekaa Valley as a place as well. We're not going to invade Syria any time soon to find out, but this is the second example of weapons of mass destruction-type coming out of Syria.

Now, they had to get to Syria somehow. I just want to keep your mind open to the possibility that these weapons of mass destruction from Iraq are somewhere, and they've not been destroyed. They haven't just vanished into the ether, and I'm going to make a prediction to you that all of the liberals and critics of the president who have harped on this and jumped on this have once again jumped the gun. They are a little premature here because we don't know yet what, if anything, did happen to those weapons of mass destruction, despite knowing that they did exist. So keep your hats on and don't be surprised down the road what is learned at some point.

Yellow cake uranium has been found at junk yards in Rotterdam and that's exactly what Iraq was looking for. This stuff could have been disbursed over the years to any number of places, and if you think that an Al-Qaeda related group is going to blow up Amman, Jordan with weapons that were procured from Syria, if you think that Al-Qaeda is not related to what all was going on in Iraq, and the Middle East, then you are engaged in blindness or wishful thinking. That is the position of the left, and that's why they can't be trusted to be placed in a leadership position.

"I hope it warms your heart to be associated with these kinds of sentiments. And I'm sure you can square this with the "just war" doctrine."

Where did you pull that quote? Why do you associate that with me?

[narses]

"I'll go out on a limb and guarantee that they aren't any WMDs."

And you'll back that 'guarentee' with what? Your mouth?

[TomasUSMC]

It would warm my heart to see all Islamofascists located at ground zero, but is it a reality?

It IS a reality if you have the will. Remember 9/11? The Arabs had no problem with REALITY when they hit the WTC in 1993 and again in 2001.

Now it is our turn to show we create Reality or are afraid of it.

[StormEye]

OR maybe the "chemical" is really nuclear.
Like maybe a small, crude nuclear weapon
that could really explode. Say one that has
a yield of a few kilotons?

[Petronski]

And you'll back that 'guarantee' with what?

His wise words: like "In the land of giants, the eyed man is king" or "It is better to have loved and lost than to count your chickens before they hatch."

Stuff like that.

[armyboy]

What a load of crap. I'll go out on a limb and guarantee that they aren't any WMDs
There were WMD's in Iraq. Why else would we have found chem suits and chem agent antidote here.

And aren't you the least bit suspicious about this "Syria" business?
I'm not the least bit suspicious about it. Syria has refused to let us in and look around, so that raises some questions.

How about if we get the hell out of Serbia and Afghanistan and Iraq before we bring our enlightened despotism to any more backwaters.
My opinion is take the troops out and send in the nukes to finish the job.

[Maximilian]

You think Americans are enlightened despots?

I admit that I'm not too certain about the "enlightened" part. But it makes a good phrase.

[VeniVidiVici]

OK, I wasn't going to say anything since your posts...

Yeah, I was wondering how long you'd stay away from that guy.

It's obvious he doesn't want to know. He avoids commenting directly on the evidence preferring to use his little catch phrases which appear to be a mixture of "Mao's Little Red Book" and some anarchist handbook.

Too bad the world has so changed from 1783 or 1939.

[narses]

"I've never seen any such proof."

Then you've never bothered looking.

Try http://www.moreorless.au.com/killers/hussein.htm -- a site I found in seconds via google.

Saddam Hussein - page 1
AKA 'Great Uncle', AKA 'Lion of Babylon', AKA 'Lion of Iraq', AKA 'Beast of Baghdad'. Saddam translates to 'One Who Confronts'.

Country: Iraq.

Kill tally: Approaching two million, including between 150,000 and 340,000 Iraqis and between 450,000 and 730,000 Iranians killed during the Iran-Iraq War. An estimated 1,000 Kuwaiti nationals killed following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. No conclusive figures for the number of Iraqis killed during the Gulf War, with estimates varying from as few as 1,500 to as many as 200,000. Over 100,000 Kurds killed or "disappeared". No reliable figures for the number of Iraqi dissidents and Shi'ite Muslims killed during Hussein's reign, though estimates put the figure between 60,000 and 100,000. (Mass graves discovered following the US occupation of Iraq in 2003 suggest that the total combined figure for Kurds, Shi'ites and dissidents killed could be as high as 300,000). Approximately 500,000 Iraqi children dead because of international trade sanctions introduced following the Gulf War.

....

But go ahead, bury your head in the sand, call for Fortress America, whine away. The reality is 911. An unbelieviable attack on innocent civilians by islamofascisti funded by scum like OBL and Sodamn Insane. You are part of a tiny fringe group of deniers. Do tell, what do you think of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, or the numbers killed in Nazi Germany? How tight is your tin-foil beanie?

[narses]

Never put off until tommorow that which a stich in nine could save?

[Maximilian]

What does this mean what you wrote? This part, I mean. Thanks.

We seem to feel an obligation to go to every 2-bit hell-hole around the world like Somalia and try to bring them "democracy" at the point of a gun barrel. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be too interested or grateful.

[Petronski]

Yes, and "An apple a day keeps me stopping to smell the roses."

[narses]

Number One, thank you. Your service means more to many of us than you can possibly know.

Number Two, thank you. Your eyewitness testimony trumps internet cowboy talk.

Number Three, thank you. Being willing to speak up is it's own form of bravery.

[Maximilian]

In reguards to "evidence of massive ethnic cleansing in Kosovo", does this include Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia too?

No it doesn't, because our bombing of Belgrade had nothing to do with Bosnia or Croatia. We were supposedly liberating Kosovo. It has now been liberated so that it can be run by the KLA Islamic mafia.

[M1Tanker]

Two wars? You get my respect and thanks there! My parents were both officers during the Vietnam War and I was an Army Brat. Thanks for making the world safer as I grew up, now it's my turn to make things as safe as possible for you and yours.

[M1Tanker]

Yeah, I was wondering how long you'd stay away from that guy.

Yeah, I know, but we all have our limits.

[narses]

"We seem to feel an obligation to go to every 2-bit hell-hole around the world like Somalia and try to bring them "democracy" at the point of a gun barrel."

Somalia ain't Iraq or Syria Maxie. This isn't about the oddball international "meals-on-wheels" that got us into that mistake, this is about whacked out dictators building war gasses, missiles and trying to build nuclear devices all swearing to destroy us and all the while funding the kind of terror cells that did in thousands on 911. Try pulling your head far enough out of the darkness to recognize that defense is justified and that it is, in fact, an OBLIGATION of our national government. They swore an OATH to defend us against all enemies Maxie, ALL of them.

[Maximilian]

Where did you pull that quote? Why do you associate that with me?

Because you pinged me to this thread so that I could benefit from listening to all these people filled with blood lust for the mass destruction of people on the other side of the globe. You were the one who sent out your "religion of peace" ping, and these are the posts of the people who apparently agree with you.

[Petronski]

Is that proof enough?

Holocaust (WWII) deniers are dignified by the mere offer of proof, yet never accept it. Merely answering the inquiry confers a quantity of legitimacy not deserved.

That being said, I'm still glad you posted your first-hand testimony, and I thank you for your service.

[Chunga]

"So the Iraqi invasion was revenge for dead Iranians and Kurds? The Ayatollah is thanking us from his grave."

Obfuscation is a sure sign of retreat. Try to stay on point.
