It's great to see that we haven't preached in vain and you've learned to come up with conspiracy theories of your own.Ibrahim Ibn Yusufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839484683464457225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-13727610734977917762008-04-27T10:25:00.000+03:002008-04-27T10:25:00.000+03:00there's good reason to believe that Saddam Hussei...there's good reason to believe that Saddam Hussein transferred much ABC and WMD equipment and materials to Syria before the US invasion of 2003, as Israeli PM Sharon said in the fall of 2002.<BR/>There have been reports of such ABC-WMD equipment and material by Syrian exiles, some published in French on the old Proche-Orient.info website. <BR/><BR/>Further, the American inspectors looking for ABC-WMD stuff in Iraq did find some significant things, like a truck with a mounted laboratory, much like the sketch that Colin Powell presented to the UN security council. <BR/>Further, Raphael Israeli of the Truman Institute in Jerusalem on Mt Scopus, assembled a lot of info about ABC-WMD discoveries in Iraq by US inspectors. But these inspectors were CIA types. And the CIA had opposed Bush's planned war on Iraq all along, note the valerie plame affair. So maybe the CIA at that time didn't want to admit that Saddam Hussein really had an ABC-WMD capacity. <BR/>Raphael Israeli's article is available on the Nativ website, I think in both Hebrew and English, at least in Hebrew.<BR/><BR/>my question is why Bush allowed the lie to go around that SH in Iraq did not have a ABC-WMD capacity. This lie reflected badly on Bush himself. So why did Bush go along with it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-48642962903488505222008-04-26T22:44:00.000+03:002008-04-26T22:44:00.000+03:00These days, almost every Arab or Muslim seems to b...These days, almost every Arab or Muslim seems to be intent on getting nuclear weapons. Iraq was stopped just in time; so was Syria; Iran has to be tackled soon. There is talk that the 800-mt tower Burj Dubai is actually a front for a nuclear storehouse. In other versions, the whole tower is a gigantic neutron bomb aimed at Tel Aviv.<BR/><BR/>I'm scared that one of these days the US might discover the nuclear warhead I've got buried in my backyard and bomb my house. I'm not worried about myself; after all, I'll be rewarded with 72 virgins. But I've come to like my infidel neighbors, and they would die as collateral damage, with no reward in sight. It's horrifying to think that they should suffer such an inhumane death, when all they'd deserve is a bit of whipping for not converting to Islam.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, Yaacov, how can anyone give any credence to US intelligence reports any more? They go to and fro, claiming something, then denying it, then claiming it once again. In short they're crap, aimed at convincing the gullible US public that another 4,000 soldiers need to die in the pyre of neoconservatism. Simply nauseating.Ibrahim Ibn Yusufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09839484683464457225noreply@blogger.com
