Anyone see this ~ Iran says US unloading WMD into Iraq
Connecticut journalist Marie Coady incredulously reported this to
SPJ-L. To see the full story, go to
http://www.tehrantimes.com/archives.asp and search for March 13, 2004.
I think that journalists should do their best to check out the
accusation. If it's a fake, no Pulitzer, but a good example of how far
the enemies of freedom will go to trash the United States. If true....

U.S. Unloading WMD in Iraq

Excerpts

TEHRAN (Mehr News Agency) – Over the past few days, there have been
reports that U.S. forces have unloaded a large cargo of parts for
constructing long-range missiles and weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
in the southern ports of Iraq.

The source said that in order to avoid suspicion, ordinary cargo ships
were used to download the cargo, which consisted of weapons produced in
the 1980s and 1990s.

"Most of these weapons are of Eastern European origin and some parts are
from the former Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. The U.S. obtained
them through confiscations during sales of banned arms over the past two
decades," he said.

1. I read this earlier....
this worries me big time. Once the US "finds" their own WMD in Iraq the so-called "liberal" media will not question and bow down to Bush in his holly glory!

2. I saw this, too.
I've expected them to pull this rabbit out of their hat a long time ago.

3. Well, I knew this would happen eventually....
...then they'll hide them in the desert, and a patrol will dig them up around June or July and then BushCo can say, "See, here are the WMD's, just like we've been saying all along. We were right and you were wrong. Kerry is a traitor. Those of you who have been against us, well you are traitors to. In fact everyone who is not a neo-con are traitors, so here it goes...." :nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke: :nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke:

4. We need to contact the Kerry camp...
and find out where the inspectors looked and the grid records (if used) of the search. We cannot let these bastards get away with this!

12. CNN today said "nuke" parts are being shipped out of Iraq right now
and will be put on display here and explained by the administration, etc. somewhere following Bush's address to the nation tomorrow night (or whenever--next couple days) to celebrate the Iraq war. This is the component crap they found a year ago--old dusty shit. But by the time they parade it around, I will guarantee you that a good part of this nation will believe he found WMDs and the were NUKES> I kid you not, they are flying some kind of shit in to present to the country.

19. Okaaay, but what does outdated nuke-u-lar technology
surrendered by Libya have to do with the possibility of U.S. and British troops being used to sneak WMDs into Iraq?
