Interesting what's coming up these days:
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...

Iraqi Weapons in Syria
Post April 26, 2004
By Kenneth R. Timmerman
On Dec. 24, 2002, nearly three months before fighting in Iraq began, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accused Saddam Hussein's regime of transferring key materials for his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs to Syria in convoys of 18-wheel trucks to hide them from U.N. weapons inspectors. "There is information we are verifying, but we are certain that Iraq has recently moved chemical or biological weapons into Syria," Sharon told Channel Two television in Israel.
Before talking about this on Israeli television, Sharon gave detailed information to the Bush White House on what Israel knew and what it suspected. Insight has learned, however, that once the information was handed over to the U.S. intelligence community, officials at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) swept it aside as lacking credibility.
In May 2003, just as major combat operations in Iraq were winding down, new reports surfaced in Israel, this time alleging that convoys of Iraqi water tankers carrying WMD components crossed the border into Syria repeatedly between Jan. 10 and March 10. The tankers reportedly were met by Syrian special forces and escorted to the heroin poppy fields of a Syrian-controlled area in Lebanon's Bekáa Valley, where their contents were dumped into specially prepared pits and buried. Again, INR discounted the reports, U.S. officials tell Insight...

Investigative Report
Saddam's WMD Have Been Found
Post April 26, 2004
By Kenneth R. Timmerman
New evidence out of Iraq suggests that the U.S. effort to track down Saddam Hussein's missing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is having better success than is being reported. Key assertions by the intelligence community that were widely judged in the media and by critics of President George W. Bush as having been false are turning out to have been true after all. But this stunning news has received little attention from the major media, and the president's critics continue to insist that "no weapons" have been found...

SADDAM'S WMDs HIDDEN IN...
"Why is the IDF flying air-raids all the time over the Bekaa-Valley and violating Lebanon's airspace constantly?" I heard myself asking my therapist Dr.Philipp recently who is trying to cure me from persisting conspiracy-attacks.
"Uhmm, I don't know", he answered me - "Perhaps you want to tell me more about it?"
"I have a feeling", I continued -"Could it be possible that they are looking for weapons of mass destruction?"
Dr.Philipp almost fainted, but tried to keep his therapeutial pokerface.
"What if a lot of this nasty stuff had been transported there via Syria beginning of March last year?"
"No, no!" He laughed -"Would you like to run for Condolezza Rice's job?"
Now he had me laughing too: "I think I can't be a match for her charme", I tried to calm the situation with a little joke. "But, but let's just think of the possibility, wouldn't it make sense?" Suddenly I had visions of huge vehicles going there, where the real bad guys do their poppy-business and complete trucks were buried completely in the soil by giantic bulldozers in the darkest of all arabian nights...
Dr.Philipp's eyes grew almost as large as the visionary trucktrains passing in my mind: "Visions...?"
(pause)
"Do you like some Zoloft?"
This conversation was not taking a favourable turn for me: "Oh no, thank you, I was just 'choking'!" - I thought that was clever, because I'm sure he'd understood 'joking'...
I insisted: "But wouldn't it be logical that - when you are duped - you ally with the biggest enemy of your enemy, before you leave for your secure exile? Let's say Hezbollah, Jihad or this 'other' part of the Hamas? And you leave the whole junk there, where there is best protection guaranteed anyway? - Like the endless poppyfields there in the valley, which are protected perfectly, but nobody wants to mess with it, because everybody is living fine on that? And everyone knows they are protected, and they think 'ah, they protect the fields, clear...' - but...." - I was starting to confuse myself.
My therapist was glaring at me in deep despair - left only whispering: "Zoloft??"
"No thanks, I'm fine - but dear doc - understand, I do feel much better if I can get rid of all this!" - I tried to calm down my own 'personal tranquilizer'. -"And it would make perfect sense strategically", I continued - "because you could use these 'buried secrets' as well as a bargain, a pawn against your former enemy. They don't have it and you don't have it - that's what I call disarmament. And they would have a vivid hell, because they cannot simply go there and conquer another country after another country - that wouldn't look nice-, as well since the Syrians did deploy all those brandnew MIGs just around the corner. It's a win-win situation! The US cannot go to war against Assad directly -because there's nothing buried in HIS country - but his air-force would protect their sphere of influence, which is this part of Lebanon for sure. Moreover you win some time."
I saw from the corner of my eye Dr.Philipp taking one of his pills himself...
Now I really felt better and continued my healing confessions:"And that could be the reason why the Israeli Airforce is flying there all the time - because they want to provoke some reaction, for looking what places are protected 'really' - and then they would have the 'legitimation' to clean up everything there, perhaps? It's some kind of poker - who blinks first. What do you think, doc?" -"Doooc!!"
Dr. Philipp was just half-lying there in his mighty therapist armchair without a single motion, eyes wide ... shut! I decided not to disturb his life anymore and left the room quietly.
No problem, my therapy-hour had been over anyway...
