Is this the same LA Times who took it upon themselves to merge 2 photos to get the desried effect of a USsoldier pointing his weapon at unarmed civilains? Ever think they had a liberal agenda? Why didn't they report the WMD recipes found there and the dipersion manuals? Was the camp there or not? I NEVER suggested above that camp was linked directly to Baghdad, maybe you should read a little more closely.
All 3 of those are true and have been linked EXTENSIVELY on here, there is a thread on the surrender of the Iraqi scientist who not only claimed the Govt was courting al-Queeda, he also claimed they started shifting WMD to syria in the mid 1990's, also that he worked in the program and amde WMD himself, then he led us to stockpiles of buried precursor chemicals that could make such WMD . He has not been the only one to have also claimed MANY were destroyed ONLY months before the war.
N.Y. Times: Iraqi Biological Weapons Scientist Admits He Lied To U.N. Inspectors
in 1992, when international inspectors from the United Nations Special Commission, or Unscom,
were arriving to ensure that Iraqi officials were complying with their country's pledge to give up chemical,
germ and nuclear weapons. He said military officials had asked him to tell inspectors that he was the head
of a single-cell protein facility. The plant, in fact, had made botulinum toxin and anthrax. . . . His student's legacy is well puiblicized as well, SHE is responsible for most of the WMD the UN could never account for.
The Al-Queda member Powell used as an exampleto the Un NOW in US custody?
Senior Bush administration officials Tuesday said a member of an al Qaeda-affiliated terror group operating in Iraq has been captured by U.S. forces
"Sources said the individual is a member of a group operating in western Baghdad under the leadership of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, a Jordanian believed by the United States to have been the mastermind behind the assassination of American diplomat Lawrence Foley in Amman last October.
Zarqawi was said to have received medical treatment in Baghdad in May and June of 2002 after being wounded in Afghanistan during the war. His leg was amputated, U.S. officials say, by a surgeon in Iraq.
Before the war, Secretary of State Colin Powell pointed to Zarqawi's al Qaeda-affiliated group that he said was operating inside Baghdad, as evidence of ties between al Qaeda and Iraq.
Powell told the U.N. Security Council in early February that after al Qaeda and the Taliban were ousted from Afghanistan, Zarqawi established a camp in northeastern Iraq to train terrorists in using explosives and poisons. "
There was also one arrested along with 5 Baath party members planning on blowing up the most holy mosque in Iraq, that pilgirmage almost did not happen.
That enough for you?
Wait a sec, you mean he was recieving aid from the Iraqi Govt. in Baghdad no less AND he helped set up that terrorist camp? No link, looks like I was wrong, I guess that is a pretty direct link, AL-Queda member flees Afghanistan, stops in home base (Baghdad), gets some help from Saddam's doctors and then goes upo norht to open a new terror camp.
