In short, the stuff that went out in a massive truck convoy from Iraq to the Bekkah Valley in Syria, and which the IAF bomb the hell out of, but doesn’t exist and we didn’t blow anything up, despite the radioactive cloud that floated out of Syria a couple days later.[/quote]
Aw c’mon man, tell us more about what didn’t happen. Details, please. I’m serious.[/quote]
It’s actually pretty much common knowledge in the Middle East that Saddam trucked his ABC in a massive convoy to Syria. Syria is run by the same cross-national islamic socialist party “Ba’ath” that Saddam controled in Iraq.
It ended up in the Bekkah valley where it proceeded unabated – right next door to Israel.
The Norks delivered a nuclear reactor originally intended for Saddam to Syria.
The IAF spoofed the Russian radar that was supposed to be the best and greatest and bombed the hell out of it, coupled with ground troops that blew up critical infrastructure and killed and captured certain scientists who proceeeded to squeal like pigs.
Syria was more embarrassed that it got its ass kicked than mad, so it’s remained tight lipped.
Israel did not confirm or deny.
But you can see the then-still-smoking craters on commercial satelite imagery and the details of the operations have leaked out from both sides. Just google it and you can find it.
Radioactive crap was spread all over the place from “unkown sources” so if you are a connosior of Syrian wine, I’d check it for Strontium 90.
I think it remained quiet in the USA because it is inconsistent with the “Saddam had no WMD” line the media (and Bush) fed everyone.
Truth is, Saddam had WMD and they fell into the hands of people far crazier than Saddam because people piddled around.
it was some really great non-targeting and non-shooting destruction that never happened and that NK nuclear material was never recovered by commandos . . . if you ever get the chance, thank the guys who didn’t do this for me!
