From the article:"Once the inspectors go to where Mahmoud has pointed them, then it's all over for Saddam".

Now that it is out where they are, they won't be there when the inspectors get there.

Good article- but one thing jumped out at me:

<<At the start of Saddam's reign of terror they persuaded an Iraqi pilot to fly his Russian Mirage to Israel - after Mossad had spirited his wife and children there.

Russian Mirage?

This is great stuff, but I too think that if the inspectors are not there right now, it will be gone. I wonder if the U-2's (like we haven't been using them) have any recon on movements there, as the Rats like to sat, a-la Kennedy and the Cuba photos. Why did this come out now/ I'll bet this is part of the intel that will be revealed.
Thanks for that great post. Bookmarked!

If this article is factual, I sure hope our intel people got this info before we did.

The democrats are going to look even more silly, if that's possible :-)

The weapons include motorised underwater mines capable of creeping along the sea bed and then surfacing beneath a battleship or carrier.

Each mine is filled with chemicals that upon explosion can envelop the ship in a deadly cloud of poison.

The documents show that the mines and other weapons of mass destruction have been secretly developed at sites the UN inspectors have also not visited.

These are:

Al-Qaqa's State Establishment. Sixty miles south of Baghdad, it has produced what the documents describe as "self-detonating precise guided missiles".

Blah..blah..blah...blah...blah.....

I don't believe a word of this crap. Iraq may have chemical and biological weapons, but they don't have a delivery system any more complicated than an aerosol can, much less an automated submarine that is going to creep up under an aircraft carrier and "envelop the ship in a deadly cloud of poison."

Mahmoud's revelations have also enabled both George Bush and Tony Blair to take an even stronger stand against anti-war protesters when they meet in Washington this week

Do I smell left wing extremist egg faces?
Vote Republican.

those motorized sea mines sound a bit farcical. It sort of makes the rest of the article a bit suspect.

Quick someone go inform Susan Sarandon of this information. I'm sure if she knew this, she wouldn't go on television and make a complete ass of herself.

Too late.

So dig this......

what if the boys in blue are slowly, quietly taking over installations around the country, (and getting a lot of help internally from people who want to live and didn't get out last time) so that when we attack, his highness won't be able to wreak everything, becasue it will already be under control......you betcha

"The actual entrance to the site is through a house in Tikrit. It is the home of one of Saddam's cousins. The entrance is over half a mile from where the weapons are stored".

Don't you just hate relatives who impose their weapons of mass destruction storage needs on you? ;-)

I'd really hate to be ol' Saddam's cousin when one of our thermobaric weapons hits that facility and the pressure wave boils into that house. Ouch.
