| UN Confirms: WMDs Smuggled Out of Iraq |
| 2004-07-05 |
| In a report which might alternately be termed âstunningâ or âterrifyingâ, United Nations weapons inspectors confirmed last week not merely that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, but that he smuggled them out of his country, before, during and after the war. Late last week, the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) briefed the Security Council on Saddamâs lightning-fast dismantling of missile and WMD sites before and during the war. UNMOVIC executive chairman Demetrius Perricos detailed not only the export of thousands of tons of missile components, nuclear reactor vessels and fermenters for chemical and biological warheads, but also the discovery of many (but not most) of these items - with UN inspection tags still on them -- as far afield as Jordan, Turkey and even Holland. |

| #10 In the dead of night shortly before the Iraqi ground war, Saddam had trucked out of Iraq the bulk of his WMD, but he was not gift giving, oh no, Saddam was paid $31 million dollars/euros (cash) by Syria's Assad regimé. This information was known to the U.N. then and they ignored the facts in an attempt to make Bush look bad. The Dems on the Hill knew as well. The President could not come forth declaring the nations harbouring the WMD knowing the Dems would refuse to support a resolution to the problem, coupled with the fact, the time was not geostrategicaly correct for additional major military moves. It is now. Israel has monitored every significant development since the WMD departed Iraqi soil...nuff said. The problem today is, since that time frame in early 2003, when these WMD were 'trucked' out, the bulk of the weapons are first off aging, have been moved around numerous occasions in Lebanon & Syria whenever the eyes on the ground & sky nailed the WMD locations, plus some of Saddam weapons of mass murder made to Jordan, for the reported failed al-Qa'ida terrorist attack which could have resulted in up to between 80,000 to 100.000 people being murdered in the capitol of Amman . The only way to resolve the issue in terms of the enemy NOT being able to utilize these chemical and biological weapons is take out the enemy, from the top downward, which means; Iran, Syria-Lebanon must have dramatic alterations of governing ruling bodies. The Left can not be allowed to continue to influence matters of extreme national & international security, when all they really care about is not the protection of the nation's public, but regaining pure political power....at any cost! The Islamic jihadist enemy does not differentiate between radical sell-outs and other real Americans when they butcher them in cold blood. The radical left did not learn a bloody thing in Spain after Al-Qa'ida slaughtered multi-scores of innocent train passengers and neither will the 'American' leftists, the enemy within. The countdown to remove one of OPEC's chief promoters of jihadic terrorism has already begun. Once Iran has been removed as a state sponsored Islamic terrorist threat, Syria-Lebanon shall be insulated and much easier to deal with once and for all. The other very significant OPEC oil funded terrorist state threat is of course Saudi Arabia. Like the jihadists have stated, The House of Saud is like a ripened grape ready to be plucked from the vine. Allowing the Saudi 'royals' to collapse from within by the very jihadist Frankenstein's they themselves created, maybe be the best solution, as long as those in the allied West, immediately fill the gap and totally crush the jihadist movement within Arabia and re-secure Saudi crude oil products completely away from the fanatical anti-western, Muslim enemy. |

| #7 Sonic I looked at the report in the link you provided (thank you). There wasn't anything in it about a nuclear reactor vessel. In fact the report didn't really say that much about WMDs. However, it did have a lot of info about missles. |

| #6 There are a lot of componants to a nuclear reactor. Some vessels, the containment vessel, are very large. There are also a whole lot of smaller vessels that could easily be transported and since most probably they were never assembled into a reactor would not be radioactive. |

| #5 #3, maybe they mean materials for construction of Radioactive vessels. Or whatever. |

| #3 Frankly, I don't believe this. It is certainly possible that some chem and bio stuff was smuggled out. However, there is no way a nuclear reactor vessel could have been smuggled out. It would have been spotted. |

| #2 According to the report it was revealed "last week"... Why all the silence on the part of the liberal media lie machine here in America... |

| #1 Great! This report, which vindicates the Bush and Blair adminstrations, will be the lead story on every news broadcast around the world tonight, and on the front page of every paper tomorrow morning. Oh, wait.... I'll be surprised if it's a one-inch story on page 37 of the NYT. |
