This is what we have believed to be true for years. Now we have this report:
A former American overseer of Iraqi prisons says several dozen inmates who were members of Saddam Hussein's military and intelligence forces boasted of helping transport weapons of mass destruction to Syria and Lebanon in the three months prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Don Bordenkircher – who served two years as national director of prison and jail operations in Iraq– told WND that about 40 prisoners he spoke with "boasted of being involved in the transport of WMD warheads to Syria.
A smaller number of prisoners, he said, claimed "they knew the locations of the missile hulls buried in Iraq."
Some of the inmates, Bordenkircher said, "wanted to trade their information for a release from prison and were amenable to showing the locations."
The prisoners were members of the Iraqi military or civilians assigned to the Iraqi military, often stationed at munitions facilities, according to Bordenkircher. He said he was told the WMDs were shipped by truck into Syria, and some ended up in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. (continue reading at WND)
No surprise here really. We had reports and video of trucks moving toward Syria at the time. Saddam knew the US would be looking for these WMD, he wanted to get them to a safe place for two reasons: (1) to embarrass the United States and (2) to make it possible to retrieve the WMD and easily resume his weapons program once the UN gave the all clear pronouncement. According to the report, the shipments "included nitrogen mustard gas warheads for Tariq I and II missiles."
Also confirmed in this report is the presence of, training and safe harbor for, al-Qaeda prior to the war.
Bordenkircher also said prisoners confirmed al-Qaida had a presence in Iraq before Operation Iraqi Freedom began, specifically in Mosul and Kirkuk.
Iraqis under the command of Uday Hussein, one of Saddam Hussein's sons, supported the al-Qaida elements in the country with training and providing safe harbor, they said.

A note from Radarsite: Hello...? Do I hear any apologies out there? Hello...? Where are all you antiwar liberal conspiracy theorists now? Where have all the Bush hating Dems put their "Bush Lied" signs? Why is the silence so deafening? And why is it that I cannot tolerate these two-faced liberal idiots? - rg
These weapons are probably in the hands of Hizbollah now and will make their way to Hamas soon. Any WMD attack on Israel will result in the Israelis destroying the nation that attacks them thus.
ReplyDeleteIf Hamas attacks Israel with a WMD expect to see Gaza looking like Hiroshima sans the radiation. It will unite the people of Israel with such a fury that the world has never seen before.
Exactly so findalis!!
ReplyDeleteYou can bet the Israeli's are watching this very intensely...have been for some time.
Some of us knew about the WMD's. We posted data and warnings about it years ago but libtards in their arrogant viral maniac style called us "fear mongers" and liars.
To expect an apology from them would be like expecting Nazralla to surrender to the Israeli's.
When the first WMD falls on Israel, Hamas, Hizbollah, and the rest of the maniacs in that region can kiss their camels and halal good-bye for good.
But I don't believe for one minute that Israel will wait for that to happen.
There used to be a day that I could confidently say the same about America -- that we'd unite to combat those who would use WMDs, I mean. I'm only 22, so that day wasn't all that long ago, and I already find myself being very unsure about it.
ReplyDeleteWhat would Obama do in that situation if he was elected? He's said he'd protect Israel, but he'd promise to kill his own mother if he thought it would net him a bloc of votes. I personally doubt that he would act militarily; he's more likely to demand that Hizbollah and Israel attend negotiations to disarm ala the UN. He might even follow in Clinton's footsteps and offer them a nuclear reactor or two, unless they already got the one that France gave to Saddam.
Good catch. Please also see www.regimeofterror.com for Saddam and terror
