It is all too obvious they are setting the stage for the next act in the PNAC play...please read this carefully. It is a masterpiece of innuendo, double talk and presenting conjecture as fact.

Syria said to have Iraq arms Ex-official cites satellite images

WASHINGTON -- The director of a top U.S. spy agency said Tuesday that he believes that material from Iraq's illicit weapons program had been transported into Syria and perhaps other countries as part of an effort by the Iraqis to disperse and destroy evidence immediately before the recent war.

The official, James Clapper Jr., a retired lieutenant general, said satellite imagery showing a heavy flow of traffic from Iraq into Syria, just before the U.S. invasion in March, led him to believe that illicit weapons material "unquestionably" had been moved out of Iraq. "I think people below the Saddam-Hussein-and-his-sons level saw what was coming and decided the best thing to do was to destroy and disperse," Clapper, who leads the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, said at a breakfast with reporters.

He said he was providing a personal assessment. But he said "the obvious conclusion one draws" was that there "may have been people leaving the scene, fleeing Iraq, and unquestionably, I am sure, material."

A spokesman for Clapper's agency, David Burpee, said he could not provide further evidence to support the general's statement.

1. PNAC puke...

I wonder if Clapper, like many of the other top PNAC'ers, has worked for Israel too (Israel has been heavily pressuring the U.S. to invade Syria for them, just as they did with Iraq)? Time to "Google", and see what this clown's background is, and discern his motives.

:puke:

:grr:

2. How stupid

People "MAY" have been leaving Iraq, but materials "UNQUESTIONABLY" were. Huh?
