Those WMDâs just wonât go away
Found via PowerlineEFL snip "We very clearly saw that something crossed into Syria," he said. "We have six or seven credible reports of Iraqi weapons being moved into Syria before the war," a senior administration official told Kenneth Timmerman of Insight magazine. A Syrian intelligence officer, in letters smuggled to an anti-regime activist in Paris, identified three sites in Syria where Iraqi WMD are being stored, Timmerman said. The sites were the same as those identified earlier by a Syrian journalist who defected to Europe... "New evidence out of Iraq suggests that the U.S. effort to track down Saddam Husseinâs missing weapons of mass destruction is having better success than is being reported," Timmerman said. "In virtually every case -- chemical, biological, nuclear and ballistic missiles -- the United States has found the weapons and the programs that the Iraqi dictator successfully concealed for 12 years from U.N. weapons inspectors." Charles Duelfer, the chief weapons inspector in Iraq, said that a primary source for funding Saddamâs illicit weapons programs was kickbacks on contracts set up under the United Nationsâ Oil-for-Food program. When is his next report due? These developments have received little attention from the major media, perhaps because they are unhelpful to Democratic prospects in the fall. But what if the Jordanian attack had succeeded? What if the target had been Chicago instead of Amman? Some things are more important than domestic politics. Posted by: Sherry 2004-05-02 |
