| Duelfer: 'A lot of material left Iraq and went to Syria' |
| 2004-10-16 |
| The Chirac government, The E.U. 'superstate' corp, Kerry's brownshirts, the leftwing media, the U.N. crowd & all those in the 'America-Is-Always-Wrong Club' have fed the the world a Big Lie in that Saddam ended all aspects of Iraq's germ and chemical weapons programmes (wmd) either just after the Gulf War or sometime during the U.N. inspections. None of these people covering for Saddam & themselves, will ever admit Saddam not only 'trucked' his so-called wmd into Syria 3 months prior to the 2003 Iraqi war, but Saddam was also paid 32 million dollars in U.S. Dollars & Euros for the re-located wmd. Some of the very same foreign officials 'assisting Saddam with the 'U.N.'s 'Oil-for-Food' programme also 'assisted' Saddam in banking his millions. The Bush bashers will also remain silent on Saddam during the late 1990's having a real sweet crude oil deal with Syria's Assad, in which additional lucrative kickbacks were paid to many of the same players. Well, it's all being reviled now, one investigative report after the other. Saddam should just spill the beans and sing like a bird. Iraq Survey Group head does not rule out Saddam's transfer of WMD At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Oct. 6, Charles Duelfer, an adviser to the CIA, did not rule out Saddam's transfer of Iraqi missiles and weapons of mass destruction to Syria, reports Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service. Duelfer agreed that a large amount of material had been transferred by Iraq to Syria before the March 2003 war. "A lot of materials left Iraq and went to Syria," Duelfer said. "There was certainly a lot of traffic across the border points. We've got a lot of data to support that, including people discussing it. But whether in fact in any of these trucks there was WMD-related materials, I cannot say." The Iraq Survey Group, headed by Duelfer, said Russia, Syria, Jordan and other arms suppliers were paid from Iraqi oil revenues. A CIA report, authored by the Iraq Survey Group, identified Russia and Syria atop a list of 12 arms suppliers to Iraq until the U.S.-led war against Baghdad started in March 2003. The report listed Russia and Syria above North Korea — regarded as the leading missile proliferator to the Middle East — as leading suppliers to Baghdad. Jordan was the third largest supplier of weapons to Iraq. After Jordan came Belarus, China, India, North Korea, South Korea, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, France, Romania and Turkey. The report said these countries were involved in both "weapons of mass destruction and arms-related procurement." The report said Saddam diverted money from the U.N. oil-for-food program to pay for both conventional and nonconventional weapons and components. The report said state-owned companies in Russia and Syria defied U.N. sanctions and supplied weapons and platforms to Baghdad. The report said Syria also served as the leading route for illegal arms supplies from Europe and other countries. Several of Iraq's neighbors were said to have joined in the secret military effort to aid Baghdad. The report — based on interviews with senior Iraqi officials and 40 million pages of documents and classified intelligence — cited Jordan and Turkey as leading suppliers to the Saddam regime. |

| #7 Vast Rant-Wing Conspiracy--there they go again. The WMD stocks did not just vanish into thin air. The facilities that were dismantled and the chem/bio weapons went somewhere. The most likely places are the Bunkers in the Bekaa Valley, the Al Qaeda navy via Syrian ports and into Assad's arsenal. No, we don't have proof that stands up in a court of law, but we do have the common sense God gave us. We just have to use it. This isn't about left, right or neo con, this is about survival in a war. |

| #6 Sounds like a Vast Rant-Wing Conspiracy to me. |

| #5 Mark and Mike, this sounds good. Please arrange ASAP. OldSpook, after we've pumped Sammy dry and he's off to 'exile', you know what to do. Make sure it's painful. |

| #4 But whether in fact in any of these trucks there was WMD-related materials, I cannot say." He cannont say. That would mean, in the context of this article that he's not allowed to reveal that, yes, there were weapons of wmd's transferred to Syria, because he's not allowed to say that. |

| #3 I've been pointing at these things for months (re: Syria). Secondly, if we wish, Saddam could "suicide" with a bit of planning if we want him to. And once he is "dead", we can take him anywhere. Under survellance. Get the data. Then he really dies. |

| #2 Mike I was thinking the very same thing. A plea bargain could be approved by the Iraqi government & U.S. officals {{if}} Saddam names of all the French, Germans, Russians & if there are American & British contacts, names, bank account numbers, everything. Which of his germ and chem weapons went to Syria & who assisted in moving the wmd. Any drug deals he was linked with. His mega-oil deals with Assad. All al-Qa'ida contacts. A total sum of what he paid Hamas to blow up Israelis. Which terrorist groups or individuals he allowed safe haven for from the 1970's onward. All data on his own nuclear & germ-chemical programmes with the French, Russians or other nations. All those linked in re-labeling Iraqi crude oil, naming those in the U.N, Opec, etc. Was Saddam himself playing the oil markets each time his oil supply was 'threatened' with cut-offs to the West by him, and how many millions he profited personally each time the energy market rose and fell. It's a forgone conclusion some ceo's will not want Saddam speaking the whole truth when it comes to global oil industry and Iraqi exports. It's too bad. Will the Iraqi general public go for any legal deal sparing Saddam's life in light of the countless mass murders he participated in directly or ordered? |

| #1 ...Actually, if Saddam was one-tenth as smart as the thinks he is, he'd get a message to President Bush: you take the death penalty off the table and arrnage for a reasonably comfy exile somewhere, and I name names, places and dates. Or alternatively, he IS as smart as he thinks he is, and is just waiting to be asked... Mike |
