GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT INTELLIGENCE BRIEF
New evidence: Saddam's WMD in Lebanon
Weapons transferred to Syria before war, then to Bekaa Valley
Over the last few months, the U.S. intelligence community has received new evidence a sizable amount of Iraqi WMD systems, components and platforms were transferred to Syria in the weeks leading up to the U.S.-led war in Iraq, reports Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service.
But chances are the Bush administration won't be releasing this information for a while.
The convoys were spotted by U.S. satellites in early 2003, but the contents of the WMD convoys from Iraq to Syria were not confirmed.
Confirmation later came from Iraqi scientists and technicians questioned by a U.S. team that was searching for Saddam's conventional weapons. But all they knew was the convoys were heading west to Syria.
But over the last few months, U.S. intelligence managed to track the Iraqi WMD convoy to Lebanon's Bekaa Valley.
Through the use of satellites, electronic monitoring and human intelligence, the intelligence community has determined that much, if not all, of Iraq's biological and chemical weapons assets are being protected by Syria, with Iranian help, in the Bekaa Valley.
The Syrians received word from Saddam Hussein in late 2002 that the Iraqi WMD would be arriving and Syrian army engineering units began digging huge trenches in the Bekaa Valley.
Saddam paid more than $30 million in cash for Syria to build the pits, acquire the Iraqi WMD and conceal them.
At first, U.S. intelligence thought Iraqi WMD was stored in northern Syria. But in February 2003 a Syrian defector told U.S. intelligence the WMD was buried in or around three Syrian Air Force installations.
But intelligence sources said the Syrians kept dual-use nuclear components for themselves while transferring the more incriminating material to Lebanon.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
The Bekaa valley, that is of course the best place on Earth for Islamic fundamentalists to store their weapons of mass destruction. It is a very safe place, far from possible Israeli meddling
Confirmation later came from Iraqi scientists and technicians questioned by a U.S. team that was searching for Saddam's conventional weapons. But all they knew was the convoys were heading west to Syria.
Yeah, right. Would these be the same people that swore up and down that Saddam had them and could launch with 45 minutes notice? These people haven't proved to be reliable sources of information in the slightest.

Great, let's continue this wild goose chase through every single Muslim country on the planet. "Oh, hey, wait, recent intel shows that they may have been shipped to Indonesia!"
Of course, you will find nuclear weapons in Pakistan. But thats another story. Pakistan can keep nuclear weapons yet Iraq is not even allowed to develop chemical weapons.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

Pakistan didn't invade a helpless country and gas its own citizens. No one complained when they gassed Iran, though...

We didn't even complain that much when he gassed the Kurds it wasn’t until he invaded Kuwait that the west started to care about what he did to his own people

You forget that we slapped sanctions on both Pakistan and India for
developing Nukes......and only recently did our relationship with
both india and pakistan warm up (after 9/11 we needed their help)

Evilcat didn’t say that we did nothing to Pakistan merely that it seems to be allowed nuclear weapons, the few years of sanctions do nothing to rebut his point
