I have seen this article in three places now, so I guess its heading to be some bigger news in a few days. it draws a neat parallel with North Korea.

Apparently the NK's supply Saddam with missile parts and he assembles them near Ramdi.

Wonder how much this leads in to the North Korean escalation of hostilities?

Interesting questions here.

It is beginning to appear more and more as if there is joint collusion between Iraq and North Korea, and that North Korea will try something provocative (not quite big enough to get the world against them or a UN resolution) but something in the way of causing trouble, right after we enjoin the battle with Iraq. And, after all, they are in an alliance, so it will be no surprise that they have been coordinating in this respect.

North Korea and China. Interesting. You can only access Saddam by phone right now if you do not have the proper inner circle access code. In a situation like this, the leader himself could have died years ago. Nonone would ever know since he has too many enemies to ever be seen in public. Very creepy situation.

The maniacal Saddam, betrayed by one of his own stand-ins. This is so rich, I absolutely love it!

It always astonishes me to see Dems taking positions that they know will be refuted easily. They are going to be humiliated. So why do they do it?

If normal folks can get a good idea what Saddam has, just from reading widely and having a long memory, the Dems in Washinton must surely know much better, having as they do access to intelligence briefings.

So when they demand "proof", or deny that proof exists, they must surely know it will all come out in the end, anyway. Why place yourself out on a limb and then start sawing?

I can only assume they are playing to the crowd, and they are banking on a crowd that does not read, that does not have a memory, and that is given to the most shallow of analysis.

Oh, never mind.

I think this is a set-up!

I just keep thinking that since all the sites HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC - Sadaam has already moved the stuff. When the inspectors get there - ooops, sorry, we have no WMD ...!!

Iraq: Seeeeee ... the U.S. is lying about us.

The bodyguard – one of the reported many doubles Saddam deploys to confuse potential assassins – is named Abu Hamdi Mahmoud.

Which one is Abu Hamdi Mahmoud?

When Dubya said "Axis of evil".....a lot of people laughed at the stupid thing, said by what they perceived to be...a stupid man. It's harder...much harder, for those people to reverse their positions now, because their whole world caves with it.

The evidence mounts....and Saddams end grows near. Shudder to think, if Clinton was still here......

How long will the lamestream press sit on this one? They never learn.

Yoohoo, lamestream press, don't you know by now that this is going to come out, and eventually you will have to report it, no matter how much you hate Republicans?

FR is now officially recognized (and cited) on The Wall Street Journal editorial page. Do you think we're just going to go away after that?

We know you are here, reading.

You know it is going to come out; the groundswell is just starting.

So you might as well be the first to break this. We don't care if you cite us; we just want the truth known, good or bad.

Some of you journalists are arguing with your editor about the article you just wrote about this, but he/she won't let you publish. Show him/her this post.

Yoohoo, Mr. Editor, aren't you sick of being last?

These news pieces sure continue to line up with the visions and dreams of so many folk seeing NKorea initiate WWII by sending missiles to the U.S.A. after we attack Iraq.

I have seen this article in three places now, so I guess its heading to be some bigger news in a few days.

I have yet to see any independent verification of this story. All of the articles refer back to the Australia Herald Sun article, and I've seen speculation elsewhere that the source of the Herald Sun article may have been DEBKA. DEBKA in turn is widely suspected to be a disinformation outlet for Mossad.

To put it as gently as possible, DEBKA's track record with regard to the truth and accuracy of the intelligence rumors it reports is not overly impressive. Or to put it as plainly as possible, DEBKA's track record is sh!t.

It would be fascinating if this turned out to be true. But the mere accumulation of circular or self-referential stories does not suddenly turn them into facts.
