A senior Syrian journalist reports Iraqâs WMD located in three Syrian sites. Nizar Najoef, a Syrian journalist who recently defected from Syria to Western Europe and is known for bravely challenging the Syrian regime, said in a letter Monday, January 5, to Dutch newspaper âDi Telegraaf,â that he knows the three sites where Iraqâs WMD are kept. The storage places are: 1. Tunnels dug under the town of al-Baida near the city of Hama in northern Syria. These tunnels are an integral part of an underground factory, built by the North Koreans, for producing Syrian Scud missiles. Iraqi chemical weapons and long-range missiles are stored in these tunnels. 2. The village of Tal Snan, north of the town of Salamija, where there is a big Syrian airforce camp. Vital parts of Iraqâs WMD are stored there. 3. The city of Sjinsjar on the Syrian border with the Lebanon, south of the city Homs. Najoef writes that the transfer of Iraqi WMD to Syria was organized by the commanders of Saddam Husseinâs Special Republican Guard, including General Shalish, with the help of Assif Shoakat , Bashar Assadâs cousin. Shoakat is the CEO of Bhaha, an import/export company owned by the Assad family. Najoef, who has won prizes for journalistic integrity, says he wrote his letter because he has terminal cancer.
:eek:Wow!!! yer meaning to say some of these 873,020 pounds of sarin, 1,657,480 pounds of VX nerve agent and 1,976,760 pounds of mustard agent - enough to kill or incapacitate millions. http://www.sptimes.com/2003/03/16/Worldandnation/Not_Iraq__but_Annisto.shtml Are now in Syria?? When did that happen?
Hmmm Maybe it's this development?. US develops lethal new viruses 29 October 03 A scientist funded by the US government has deliberately created an extremely deadly form of mousepox, a relative of the smallpox virus, through genetic engineering http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99994318 :eek: :eek: Hmmm our labs must be located in Syria... Edit/Add Hmmm I wonder if the "new US installed" regime in Iraq would be a prime buyer for the new "bug"... Ya know like the old one.. :eek:
That's impossible, the several dozen UN inspectors, charged with searching an area the size of the Pacific NorthWest would have found the WMD already!!!
If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once again misleading the world. --Ari Fleischer Press Secretary Press Briefing 12/2/2002 We know for a fact that there are weapons there. --Ari Fleischer Press Secretary Press Briefing 1/9/2003 Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent. --George W. Bush State of the Union Address 1/28/2003 We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more. --Colin Powell, Secretary of State Remarks to UN Security Council 2/5/2003 We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have. --George W. Bush Radio Address 2/8/2003 In Iraq, a dictator is building and hiding weapons that could enable him to dominate the Middle East and intimidate the civilized world -- and we will not allow it. --George W. Bush Speech to the American Enterprise Institute 2/26/2003 If Iraq had disarmed itself, gotten rid of its weapons of mass destruction over the past 12 years, or over the last several months since (UN Resolution) 1441 was enacted, we would not be facing the crisis that we now have before us . . . But the suggestion that we are doing this because we want to go to every country in the Middle East and rearrange all of its pieces is not correct. --Colin Powell Secretary of State Interview with Radio France International 2/28/2003 Let's talk about the nuclear proposition for a minute. We know that based on intelligence, that [Saddam] has been very, very good at hiding these kinds of efforts. He's had years to get good at it and we know he has been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons. And we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons. --Dick Cheney Vice President Meet The Press 3/16/2003 Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. --George W. Bush Address to the Nation 3/17/2003 Well, there is no question that we have evidence and information that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, biological and chemical particularly . . . all this will be made clear in the course of the operation, for whatever duration it takes. --Ari Fleischer Press Secretary Press Briefing 3/21/2003 I have no doubt we're going to find big stores of weapons of mass destruction. Kenneth Adelman, Defense Policy Board member --Washington Post, p. A27 3/23/2003 We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat. --Donald Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense ABC Interview 3/30/2003 For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction (as justification for invading Iraq) because it was the one reason everyone could agree on. --Paul Wolfowitz Deputy Secretary of Defense Vanity Fair interview 5/28/2003 But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them. --George W. Bush Interview with TVP Poland 5/30/2003
